Over the past few years we have prioritized working over living, going to the party when we really wanted to stay home, hosting a dinner party for ten when we wanted to cook a stew for two. Feeling burned out in 2016, we booked a rental cabin for a quick escape. But, when we arrived, we found ourselves rained in for the entire long weekend. With no phone service and nothing to do, we turned to a closet of dusty puzzles only to find they offered the rest and relaxation we had been looking for in the first place.

Piecework is an antidote to an obsessive work culture and an addiction to screens. We hope to be a signal to not only take care of yourself, but to love yourself and enjoy each day in all the ways that make you feel good. Buy the shoes. Go for seconds. Hang the weird art your friends don’t understand. Pour another glass and embrace all the beautiful curiosities life has to offer.

Welcome! Take a seat! Stay a while!
