Here's my latest inspiration for our Master Bedroom. Not that we are at all in the market to update- the nursery is kind of the big priority right now... But who can resist Brocade Home?

Origins of a Name
Illuma is the name of our little company. Nick's part is Illuma Photography and I represent Illuma Design. We've just begun and we are growing. Some day we'll have a website I'll link to here. But, for now, be satisfied with the idea that illuma (in our minds, if not the dictionary) stems from the word illuminate which is defined as follows:
1 il·lu·mi·nate
Pronunciation: \i-ˈlü-mə-nət\
Function: adjective
Date: 15th century
1 archaic : brightened with light
2 archaic : intellectually or spiritually enlighten
Our view on the arts is two fold. First, we believe that our Christian worldview offers the Total Truth in respect to all parts of life. There is no secular/sacred split. Even our art, that is, especially our art, as the creative outflow of created beings, is a significant part of that Total Truth and therefore matters. Second, the arts, in general, are the tangible voice of the ages. Look at art from any period and you can determine a culture's values. Our aim is to live out that Total Truth in all aspects of our lives, including our creative lives, and to, hopefully, use it to illuminate and enlighten.

Oh, I really like the olive and brown. The funiture is kind of 60's ish? The entertainment center reminds me of the Magnavox we have. Maybe with a little love I can get it to look good as new. I really like your sense for design.
