Studio M Expands Its Painted Peace Collection

Studio M, the artful home and garden division of Magnet Works, is once again expanding its popular Painted Peace collection by artist Stephanie Burgess with new birdhouses and Art Poles. The new additions will be on display at the Atlanta market in July and will be available to ship in August.

All of the Art Poles and the new birdhouses are made at the company’s headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri. “It’s so exciting to be able to make yet another product right here in America,” said CEO Curt Todd. “We have 25 years of experience making artful products that hold up to the elements. All of that knowledge and our best technology went into the design of our new birdhouses. Not only do they feature beautiful artwork, but they have an expected 5-year outdoor life. That’s what makes them remarkable.”The fully functioning birdhouses feature a universal 1.5” hole, a fledgling ladder, ventilation, drainage holes, and a removable rooftop for easy cleanout.

Studio M is also adding three new 20-inch Art Poles to the Painted Peace collection. “Our poles have been one of our best-selling items since we launched Studio M in January 2013, and we’re excited to continue growing this category,” said Anne Brown, Director of Product Development. Each of the new poles has its own meaningful sentiment. “The new Survivor Pole is a beautiful symbol of hope, strength, and courage for all those who have been affected by cancer, and the new Dog and Cat memorial poles are a great way to remember and honor a beloved family pet,” said Brown.

Along with this Painted Peace expansion, Studio M will be adding new items to its Gypsy Garden collection and its Art Pole Garden collection. Retailers can get more sneak peeks of Studio M’s new releases at magnetworks.com/studio-m.
