Tour an Atlanta Craftsman Bungalow Filled With Art, Family Heirlooms and Lots of Creativity

LaToya Tucciarone is an entrepreneur with a singular vision founded on world travel and doing good. Her Atlanta shop SustainAble Home Goods supports craftspeople around the world by bringing handcrafted home goods to her customers. She lives in a 1920s Craftsman bungalow in the Atlanta suburb of Decatur with her husband Andrew and four children, ages 4-11 and their rescue dogs Ranger and Cookie.

This family's friendly vibe is established right off the bat on their wide, welcoming front porch and this charming tableau of cacti and cheerful artwork.

Craft is a big part of LaToya Tucciarone's life, whether it's the handmade objects she sources all around the world, from Italy, Peru, South America and Mexico and sells in her store, or the vintage items that ornament her warm, eclectic living room. "I have a deep, deep love of vintage," says LaToya. "Not only are the pieces often one-of-a-kind but they are so well made! America has its own craft history, albeit young in comparison to the rest of the world, but it's there and you get to see it in beautifully crafted vintage pieces."

Andrew and LaToya have traveled the world (26 countries in all) for enjoyment and to find goods for LaToya's business. Every vignette in her home seems to express that love of handcrafted, one-of-a-kind items, whether pottery from Mexico or a vintage wooden table from an American craftsperson. "We have been to Oaxaca, Mexico; Guatemala; Peru; South Africa and Italy in order to source products. Traveling to source is definitely part of the job and one of my favorite parts at that. It is so special to experience a culture through its craft traditions — traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation for over a millennia in some places. Some folks experience another culture through food, I do it through craft," says LaToya.
