The Soul of the Find: How to Explore our Living Lookbook

Feb 12

At Milagros Rústicos, we believe that the most beautiful homes aren't "ordered" from a catalog—they are curated over time with pieces that have a story to tell.

Because we specialize in one-of-a-kind, artisan-sourced furniture and decor, our showroom in Mesa is a living, breathing space. To help you stay connected to our ever-changing collection, we created the Living Lookbook. Here is how to use this digital window to find your next heirloom.

1. The Current Month: A Glimpse into the Showroom

Think of the current year and month gallery as your real-time invitation to the shop. As a photographer, I capture our newest arrivals the moment they hit the floor. Whether it’s a hand-carved mesquite table or a fresh shipment of Guanajuato confetti glass, these photos show you exactly what is currently waiting for you at Dana Park.

Pro-Tip: Because our pieces are handmade and unique, they often find their forever homes quickly. If you see something that speaks to you, we invite you to visit us in person to experience its texture, weight, and soul for yourself.

2. The Archives: A Gallery of Inspiration

We don’t delete our history. Our Lookbook archives span months and years, serving as a digital museum of the incredible craftsmanship we’ve been lucky enough to host.

While the specific treasures in these archives have likely already been claimed, they serve a vital purpose: they showcase the quality and style you can always expect from us. If a piece from 2025 inspires you, it’s a sign that our aesthetic matches yours—and it's an even better reason to come see what we’ve curated in its place today.

3. Why We Keep It Personal

We chose a "Lookbook" style over a traditional "Add to Cart" website because artisan furniture isn't meant to be a gamble. We want you to run your hand over the grain of the wood and see the vibrant colors in person. By keeping our sales in-store, we guarantee that the piece you fall in love with is perfect before it ever leaves our sight.

Our archives are a testament to the artisans we support in Mexico and beyond. We invite you to get lost in the photos, find your inspiration, and then come visit us to find your own milagro (miracle).

Rich Helmer

Originally from the Chicago suburb of Elgin, Illinois, Rich Helmer's family headed west to Arizona just before his final years of high school. Rich became instantly fascinated with the desert southwest. Its renowned grandeur and mysterious energy would profoundly influence his later work, as would the endless beaches of Mexico and Southern California. Rich's sonic creativity emerged at an early age, as did his unorthodox approach to artistic ventures.

As a primarily self-taught guitarist and songwriter, Rich has never been one to live by a handbook. However, after devoting most of his life to music, he abandoned his true passion and decided to seek a more "realistic" vocation. The decade-long diversion is something that Rich still occasionally laments, but he also knows that the past is just that - the past. Fortunately, Rich decided to dust off his vintage Telecaster and pursue his love of photography, leaving him with little time for regrets.

Rich dares us to consider what possibilities may lie along the path less traveled with both humility and purpose. Whether provocative, soul-stirring, inspiring, disconcerting, or some combination of these, the overarching theme in Rich's work is that, for him, the lens is much more than a curved piece of glass; it is a vehicle through which viewers can experience worlds that might have otherwise remained hidden.

Join his journey.
