Watch Out Smuckers, Embellishments Jelly is here!

Several years ago I built an arbor on the outside of the studio so I could grow grapes. This year we had an amazing harvest so we shared with the neighbors. In return my sweet neighbor Pam brought me 2 pints of homemade "Embellishments" grape jelly. Mmmm..pb & j

Themed Pediatric Dental Office- New Work by Embellishments

Remember that sheetrock pillar I cut open to discover what was inside? Well, it housed two steel posts. The master plan was to replace the boring sheetrock with a studio sculpted tree. With it having two posts, the plan changed to a two trunk tree.
To wrap one post the tree needed to be installed in two pieces. Now that two trunks were needed, it took some creative seam work to wrap both posts. Here are some snapshots reflecting a before and after. This project also included our creating a pretend fruit/market cart that would house all those freebie dental hygiene products that the dentist gives his clients. Packaged toothbrushes, floss and trial size toothpaste have zero visual appeal, so we integrated them into boxes and bins within the cart. They're now hidden in plain sight.

Thanks Dr. James for the fun project. Check off one more installation in our quest to turn boring dental spaces into theme park like kiddie wonderlands!

Themed Decor- A Faux Market Cart Display

Can you guess where this is?
The studio's embellishing elves were busy last night installing one of our latest endeavors. It's a delicious mix of studio woodwork, props, and synthetic fruit and vegetables. It's designed to resemble an open air market cart. I'll give you a hint.... Towards the top, those packages look an awfully a lot like toothbrushes.

Portland's Manthropology Hub Boys Fort - Art Shopping

Portland's Manthropology central, Boys' Fort has been busy hanging their shipment of reclaimed wood mounted 8 x 8 art pieces. If you look closely the subliminal theme is booze and sports. A man cave wouldn't be complete without a little of both. Cheers and Jeers!

Portland's Boys Fort is dedicated to selling goods for the modern design loving man. Photo courtesy of Boy's Fort.

Thank you Rolfe and Jake for the all Aaron wall of artifacts! It's appreciated!

Add Some Super Pow to Your Superhero Bedroom!

Adding some color wow to the POW. I reworked a client proposal into a new mood board to share. I wanted to shake up the atypical superhero color scheme. What do you think? I'm kinda digging the new yellow toned metallic trend.... Of course that's my Superhero Pow art that we personalize. Thank you fictitious Aiden!

Man Cave Art, Decor Ideas and Mood Boards

Everyone needs a space to retreat to. For men sometimes that space is referred to as a man cave. I take issue with the term conjuring up thoughts of neanderthal hangouts littered with rib bones and empty beer bottles that smells like dirty feet. There's no reason the "cave" can't be a well designed space for entertaining friends, family and yes...neanderthals.

With the release of my latest wall art pieces, I decided to render up a few mood boards that explore man cave design.

An updated version of the old english pub idea for a man cave. Rich woods, a deconstructed feel and my art add to the vintage feel. PUB HUB MAN CAVE
