This 'My House' was one of the most unique ever created. This piece is not a replica of an actual house one can touch. It is an interpretation of a dream.
The client requested a 'My House' based on his best friend's "dream home." With his knowledge of his best friend's personality and her favorite things, we worked together to select the style and details of this 'My House.'
The client chose this sweet cape cod style with a brick and siding exterior and requested a country-feeling piece with lots of autumn details and a hint of Halloween.
The sweetest details he requested were a paint color matched to a specific paint chip he called "Martha Stewart green," corn stalks flanking the front door, a house sign announcing "The Jivers" with the address 1031 (October 31st) and a street sign showing the intersection of "Fall Harvest Circle" and "Happy Place." We also added a mailbox with the name and street number.
Then we added tons of autumn leaves, lots of pumpkins big and small, a backyard sunflower patch, a tiny gourd garden, a couple of old fashioned haystacks and a watchful black cat at each entrance.
Often, on more architecturally intricate replicas, we have to limit the amount of extra details to be added due to time and production cycle constraints. But with this sweet and simple house style, we were allowed to focus on the fun and creative details.
The sweetest story behind a 'My House' resulted in perhaps the sweetest 'My House' ever created. And according to the recipient of this gift, one of the best and most memorable gifts she could ever receive. Read Testimonial.
