This is Things I Learned from My Mother from Arcadian Revival, a podcast about creating home, community, and a deeper connection to nature and to one another. What does home mean to you? Here we explore answers to this question through generational wisdom, shared perspectives, and from Mother Nature herself. At its core, home is about creating a place that is welcoming while keeping in mind that it is a microcosm of the greater global community in which we live, and is part of the larger natural world in which we call home. Join Bethany each week for Season One as we explore these topics and bring on new guests whose stories weave into the ethos of Arcadian Revival.

Episode 6: "The Art of Craftsmanship, Community, and Leaving a Legacy" with Master Craftsman Chuck Donnelly
Things I Learned From My Mother from Arcadian Revival

In this episode, I sit down with master craftsman Chuck Donnelly, a man whose work speaks for itself and leaves a lasting impression. Over the span of his rich career, Chuck has not only touched hundreds of home with his craft, he has carved out a career that speaks of pride of the spaces he has built, but also the relationships that he left room to cultivate along the way.

Together, we explore the parallels between project and path. Chuck shares stories that carry the grain of wisdom earned only through time, patience, and a deep reverence for doing things the right way, especially when no one is watching.

We talk about the exquisite millwork Chuck created here at our home and for the Arcadian Revival studio, and share a few of our favorite details, deep-rooted inspirations, those details that might initially go unnoticed, but make a space feel like home. In this conversation, craft becomes more than output. Millwork becomes a language of thoughtfulness, connection, and place. As a designer, Chuck brought me to my own deep path of appreciating millwork through a lens that I will always wear, a to a niche passion of mine within the building arts.

Come sit with us in the stillness of good conversation. This is the kind of episode that reminds us that the best things often take time, and the most beautiful places are built rich with intention.
