We're Colin and Chelsea, owners and artists behind Grace & Hope Creative! We absolutely love the beach and feel so blessed to live close to Lake Michigan's shores in the great mitten state. What first was a hobby collection for Chelsea, became a hobby and now a small business for both of us. I, Colin, am a southwest Michigan school teacher and wanted something to do in my off-time that was creative and productive. My Father-in-Law first created driftwood lamps for his kids and wife and that got me interested in creating driftwood art as well. 

​

Chelsea loves to collect driftwood and has decorated our house with it from hanging it on a wall to putting it in our bookcases, and even having me put handles on our entertainment wall cupboards. She also loves to collect rocks, specifically Petoskey stones. Since she has a love for finding and collecting these items, as well as a keen eye for high end design, she adds the creative flourish and detailing work to my construction of the driftwood items. 

​

All of our items are crafted with the utmost care, from making sure the finest driftwood pieces are selected legally, to cleaning and preserving each piece, to making sure the construction is secure and seamless. 

​

We hope you enjoy your newest driftwood decoration addition to your home!
