Family Photograph Challenge

This was a SUPER~FANTASTIC project!



It all began with a great client named Jeremy... He brought me this very special family photograph mounted on 3/4" very warped plywood (it had lived in the garage for several years serving as a convenient place to hang saws and various other tools).



The ultimate goal was to create a showpiece for his new condo. The first order of business was to do an on-site consultation to get a feel for the space. I always strive to create a design that does two things: 1) makes you say WOW! when you see the picture against a blank wall all by itself and 2) makes you say WOW! when you see it hung in your space.

We ended up using a very contemporary Roma frame in dark chocolate and old gold surrounding a linen wrapped bevel board from Raphael's Fabrics. Museum glass (which is invisible) was the finishing touch. The result is a modern classic piece that will be cherished and preserved happily ever after!
