Ceramicist, embroiderer, and painter Danielle Jacqui transformed her living quarters into a product of art. Beginning with the exterior and extending throughout the walls, ceilings and furniture of the interior, Jacqui’s entire home is spread thick with embroideries, paintings and three-dimensional objects. Nearly every inch of the house has been festooned with her creations even the stairs.

Know Before You Go

The exterior of the house can easily be admired from the street without disturbing Ms. Jacqui.
