Moon House and the Brands We Believe In
Moon House is a Creative Living & Conscious Design Project led by CMP's CEO, Sarah Carter. It's a patient, ever-evolving exploration of what it means for a home to embody purpose. What began as a longing to create a sanctuary rooted in raw beauty, sustainability, and human connection has become a graceful unfolding — a living meditation on craft and care. Each choice is guided by a deep respect for global artisans, thoughtful investment, and a reverence for craft. This is a dream unfolding in real time.
In this atmosphere, Studio Luddite gives light an elemental, grounded presence. The genius behind the brand lies in designers who shape honest materials — solid brass, hand-oxidized finishes, stone, and leather — into pieces that feel both useful and beautiful, where function and form converse.
Their fixtures are born from the rigor and grace of slow, intentional making — light that ages with time, settles into the architecture of a room, and softens its edges with a precision that is architectural. It's this attention to detail that makes good lighting great — the exact curve of a shade, the feel of a hand-oxidized surface, the way light meets wall and floor — that gives Studio Luddite its elevated, assured presence.
Lo&Co shapes the moments we touch— where our hands meet the home and design becomes something we feel, not just see. Each knob and pull, designed by Arielle Lopresti and Teegan Cocchiaro, is a study in shape: the cool, reassuring weight of solid brass, the softened depth of aged bronze, the way finishes change with touch and time instead of staying rigid and perfect.
Their hardware asks you to notice how something feels in your hand, how it sits in the architecture of a room, and how it alters the rhythm of moving through a space. Lo&Co doesn't just dress up a door — it rethinks the threshold. Each design invites a slight pause, a small exchange between the body and the object — how the palm meets the curve, how the fingers catch the edge, how the hand remembers the gesture the next time it returns.
In that exchange, the most ordinary moments become intimate, considered, and essential. Good design isn't always loud. Sometimes it lives in the details we don't think about until we stop to feel them — and in those moments, it becomes clear how much they shape the way we live.
Benisouk is a brand built on the idea that a rug is more than a decorative element—it’s a bridge between the craftsperson and the life that gathers around it. Each piece is a genuine handmade rug, shaped knot by knot, not rolled off a factory line; it carries the slight irregularities, the softness of wool, and the depth of natural dye that mass‑produced rugs can’t replicate. This is something that settles into the home, absorbs the rhythm of footsteps, and deepens in character over time.
Operating from Los Angeles but woven into the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Benisouk works directly with rural communities — traveling into remote villages to source 100% handmade rugs from women weavers, bypassing exploitative middlemen and ensuring fair compensation. Their values are clear: authenticity, ethical practice, and long-term stewardship of both people and place.
At Moon House, that matters deeply. It means bringing in pieces that are not only dynamic and layered, but aligned with a slower, more responsible way of living — one that honors the hands that shape them and the landscapes that supply the wool. In that way, each Benisouk rug becomes a grounded, intentional presence — a steady companion to the life that moves over and around it.
Then we turn to Earl Home, a family‑owned studio built on care, craft, and the steady discipline of making things slowly and by hand. Their handmade home goods are a love letter to design in motion, each piece shaped around the way people actually live, not just how a room should look.
For Moon House, that takes a special form. Chris and Amber are creating custom pieces tailored specifically to the space, mood, and rhythm of the home. Dimensions, proportions, and finishes are all refined to feel intimate — a tray, a shelf, or a bowl doesn't just sit in the room, but settles into it.
They bring emotional honesty to design. No hollow spectacle or sterile perfection. Their work results in objects that feel like they've been waiting for you. Earl Home isn't turning out endless copies of the same thing; they're crafting one-of-a-kind pieces that add warmth and personality.
Partnering with Christy has been a natural addition to Moon House. Their towels, bedding, and robes bring a level of comfort that’s felt in the everyday, elevating the routines that shape how a space is actually lived in. There’s an immediate sense of quality, in the weight of the towels, the softness of the sheets, the ease of a robe you reach for without thinking. It’s understated, but intentional, and it holds up over time.
My grandparents immigrated from Great Britain to Canada after the war, carrying with them a deep appreciation for quality and presentation. Being surrounded by pieces like these feels connected to that — familiar, personal, and quietly meaningful.
Having Christy as part of Moon House feels both considered and deeply appreciated.
We express deep gratitude to Ruffoni, an Italian cookware brand whose copper pieces don’t just gleam—they carry the weight of use, memory, and generations of craft. Born in the mist‑soft hills of Lombardy, Ruffoni grew out of a family workshop where copper has been hammered into shape for decades, each craftsman passing down the weight of a hammer, the rhythm of a strike, and the way metal remembers heat.
Their pots and pans are not display pieces. They're meant to be scorched, kissed by flame, and stained with time — built to be heirlooms. At the center of Ruffoni's story is a partnership grounded in craft and conviction: one brings a sharp, unflinching eye for form that never sacrifices function, while the other guards the lineage of the forge with near-ritual precision. Together they treat copper not as material but as a language — one that speaks of patience, resilience, and the luxury of cooking with intention.
For Moon House, this ethos is deeply resonant. The kitchen is not just a room — it's a stage where love, stress, laughter, and loss all pass through the same pots. Ruffoni's work elevates that ritual, turning every meal into something that feels more deliberate and alive, and lining the Moon House kitchen with cookware that feels like it's been part of a story long before it arrived.
We’ve recently entered the next phase of Moon House, bringing the courtyard and garden spaces fully to life, and our partnership with Palermo feels especially meaningful in this chapter.
With a focus on modern outdoor living, Palermo approaches design with a balance of durability and refinement; pieces that invite you to slow down, and truly live in your space.
The Modo two-piece sofa has become the anchor of our courtyard, both visually and functionally. Wrapped in marine-grade vinyl that is tear-resistant, anti-bacterial, and exceptionally easy to maintain, it strikes that rare balance between comfort and longevity.
In the garden, the Dume outdoor lounger sits tucked beneath the canopy of trees — a place that encourages stillness, where time stretches and the surroundings take center stage. As the weather warms I find myself drawn out here more than anywhere else. This next phase feels not only complete, but aligned with how we want to live.
Thank you for walking with us — We can’t wait to see what unfolds!

A Note on Where We Are in the Sky
We are approaching the depths of a Taurus New Moon. If you have been feeling the pull to slow down, come home to yourself, and reconnect with what makes you feel at home, the sky is inviting exactly that.
New Moons mark a reset and a shift in perspective toward new possibilities. The sun and moon align in perfect conjunction and for a moment everything goes dark and still. This is an invitation to turn inward, clarify what we are building, and plant the seeds we want to see grow. This particular lunation in Taurus asks us to come home to our bodies, our senses, and our core values. To remember that stability is not something we find outside of ourselves but something we cultivate within.
Taurus reminds us to build slowly and tend to what is truly nourishing. To question how we measure our worth, where we invest our energy, and whether the life we are living reflects what we actually need right now — not what we used to need, or what we think we should.
For those of you born with planets in the late degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio (like me), or Aquarius — this one is especially significant. A turning point may be near. Trust it.
Moon House was built under this same intention. Slowly. Deliberately. In alignment with what felt true rather than what felt safe. It feels fitting to share this with you now.
Coming Soon: Moon House Monthly
Later this summer we will be launching Moon House Monthly — an intimate dinner series for select women, mothers, and daughters to gather, share a meal, and explore ancient ritual and tradition through books, conversation, and the wisdom of guest speakers.
The intention is simple: to create a space where community is cultivated, connection is deepened, and the kind of conversations that create real opportunities for positive life changes are given the time and setting they deserve.
More details coming soon. We cannot wait to welcome you to the table.
