Why the Renaissance?

The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo - 1512

Welcome to Cedes Secrets! This space is where I would like to bring in new ideas of the aesthetics found within the Renaissance Era. This era is all about the "rebirth" or "revival" of the man and his ties to the world he/she is in. Furthermore, with my interior design business, I believe that home buyers go through the same process when designing and decorating their new home. This blog is open to all ideas regarding Renaissance history, art, literature, and more. Read along, interact, and enjoy seeing decor through our secret lens.

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" - Leonardo da Vinci

Da Vinci is known as the Renaissance Man, and one of the most influential men of this era. Da Vinci's work is found in many areas all around the world and continues to spread his view of simplicity throughout his pieces of art. This industry incorporates his works along with many other Renaissance icons, like Michelangelo, Raphel, Donatello, and more to express the use of emotion through art. As you travel throughout the blog, each post represents a section of the house ie: kitchen, master bedroom, living room etc and how it embodies the same aura and feeling represented in each designated section of the house. We would like our viewers to experience the same emotional appeal as you would when in Europe. As you navigate through the website, you will go back into the infamous time period.

How we got started?

This business started simply with my mother, Jamiko Sapp's, love and passion for interior design. She always would ask for my input on specific art pieces to place in designated rooms in the house. More than half of the time, the piece that I would select came from the Renaissance Era and were pieces done by the Renaissance Man himself, da Vinci. Moving forward, I wanted to bring my own voice along with my mom's passion to create my business: Cedes Secrets.

This site gives customers a platform to speak their mind in reference to what piece they feel would fit to a specific room. Our business is open to all opinions and will respond back through the threads to show our appreciation to our fans and future buyers!
