The SSS Edit is moving! We are closing this section of the Sarah Sherman Samuel site. You’ll still have access to the full archives, but you can now find me over on Substack.
If you are reading this, you probably remember that once upon a time, in an internet land far, far away, I used to share and connect with my fellow design lovers, DIYers, and creative minds in long-form on this blog.
I started the blog as a creative outlet to document our Michigan cabin renovation. It began as a place to create and connect, but as Instagram emerged and my studio and client list grew, the work began to take over the sharing.
If you’re reading this, you probably also already know I will happily nerd out about design all day if you are in front of me. But the sense of community on social media is no longer what it used to be.
From what I have heard about Substack, it feels much closer to the easy, thoughtful conversations from the old days, and I am here for it.
Over on Substack, I’ll be sharing 3–4 newsletters, rotating between in-depth essays that take a look behind the scenes in the SSS studio, interviews with inspiring artists and creatives, and project updates. Along with a look into our toolkit—what I’m using, loving, reading, creating, and getting inspired by. That is part of what I want this newsletter to be: a favorite-things party. I’ll tell you mine. You tell me yours.
We always have so much going on, much of it behind the scenes, too much to fit into a small Instagram caption. In person, I am usually either rambling or not saying anything at all, so I am ready to be back in long form.
This year is shaping up to be an exciting one. We are deep in book tour planning, preparing for my first solo gallery show in New York, and opening our own gallery while moving our studio. New furniture is in the works, along with client projects and our own personal renovations, and I am excited to share more of the process along the way.
I want this new space on Substack to feel like we are sitting down together for a chat, just like the good old times. Less about the finished product, more about the messy middle and the path that shapes it.
See you there!
