Blanton Museum Gift Shop

The Gift shop needed White Oak jewelry display stands in the style of the architecture and cabinetry....
In the shape of cones, discs, chunks, and cubes - in linen and white oak.
Fall 2009 Museums & More Magazine: Beautiful new jewelry cases motived the Gift Shop team to come up with a new visual merchandising plan.
"We had a local woodworking artist design oak fixtures to match the wood tone of the cases. then we lined the cases with soft celery linen and created linen cones
for necklaces ....."
Betsy Desk

Betsy wanted a classic Early Texas Desk with all modern hardware and fittings. Their home in the Avenues has tall ceilings and plenty of books. An extraordinary batch of walnut arrived on the day of my visit to the lumber yard. A dream come true for all.
Evans Project

The Evans home is a very modern structure - built on a cliff in the Northwest Hills.
The project started with a wall to wall shelving system for the Weaving Room.
Downstairs a home entertainment center equipment cabinet was built to fit a long list of components.
A Living Room niche cabinet held the cable box, newspapers and magazines.
Outside of the guest bedroom - a Privacy Screen Fence made of ipe was built to spare the guests from a view of the neighbor's drive way....
