The Eastside Showroom
The beautiful Eastside Showroom has been a dream of ours to do and we finally got the opportunity! It wasn't very difficult to get the inspiration necessary to make this piece look amazing. Mickie, the owner, already has a keen sense of design. Our approach was to channel her taste in decore and ambiance. Everything in this model was put together by hand, literally brick-by-brick. We even made minature-scale models of Mickie’s beautiful custom-made furniture.

The sign's uniqueness is most apparent from its use of plants and vines that don the edges of the sign and vases.
