Custom coat racks in shades of blue

Our latest custom mosaic coat racks

in ,

If you’ve spent any time visiting our studios or talking with us in our booth at a craft show, you’ve probably heard Johannah say our coat racks are her favorite item we make. They bring everything we do together: metal, mosaic, and wood, in a package that is fairly affordable for many folks. While we always have some available for sale in our online shop, we also make many custom coat racks.

Customers often share a photo of the room or nearby items to help us understand the colors and style they’re looking for. That’s the case with these first three mosaics. The beachy mosaic at the top is in an oak frame, while the others are in cherry.

Notice there’s a lot of blue? That’s frequently the case, with green being the second most common color for custom coat racks.

Next up we have one inspired by the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains, and then a request for a mosaic that’s slightly taller than our usual 3” height. These two mosaics are in mahogany frames. We use reclaimed wood for all our mosaic coat rack frames.

And last we have a mosaic version of the Charlotte, NC skyline. This one is in an oak frame. Cities are surprisingly fun and interesting to create in mosaic! We made a coat rack featuring the skyline of Chicago a few years ago. You can see that one at the bottom of a blog post here.

Coordinating Set of Home Accessories

in , ,

This client reached out to us about making a set of custom coordinating items for their new home. They’d seen our work in our Etsy shop and on our social media, and it had set their wheels spinning imagining an address plaque, hall bench, and coat rack for the entrance of their house. What a dream it was for us to combine all our skills to create this special grouping!

Here you can see each of the pieces in progress in our studios. The bench and coat rack hooks are forged steel, with the seat and coat rack frame made from cherry wood. The mosaics are made from a variety of glass and ceramic.

Like many of our most successful projects, this couple gave us a few particulars to work with, and left the rest of the design up to us. They told us their colors, shared photos of the entrance to their home, and mentioned some of our work to which they were especially drawn. That balance of specifics and openness allows us as artisans the structure and freedom we need to create new and fresh custom work in our signature style.

Below are photos and details of each of the finished pieces in our studios. Johannah loves to photograph all our work in the metal studio. The west-facing side of the shop space is covered entirely in large, industrial-era windows allowing for the most beautiful filtered natural lighting.
