Our latest custom mosaic coat racks

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.

Small projects around the home

We love when clients come to us with interesting and unique challenges. Here are a few of the smaller residential projects we’ve worked on recently: a riveted metal baseboard, a stand for an ammonite fossil, a small interior custom railing, and large forged cabinet pulls.

If you’re in need of help on a smaller project, don’t hesitate to reach out! We love challenges in all shapes and sizes.

A few hand forged railings

Here’s a collection of small, forged custom railings we’ve made recently. They really show off the versatility of forged design! From crisp and modern for a home in the Fan district of Richmond, to simple and elegant for a historic building, to organic-inspired for another local residence, Kyle and his team can design and create custom hand railings to fit any style.
