Be inspired! New Lighting Project.
When interior designer, Althea Bussert came to see us, she had a very specific idea in mind for the chandelier needed for the front courtyard of her client's gorgeous hacienda style home in Chandler.
The decorative detail in the entryway's gate has a Moorish style pattern in the iron fretwork. She wanted to incorporate the same detail into the lighting fixture's banding. We think it turned out beautifully. We love collaborating with our clients!
Meanwhile, all of the lanterns throughout the property are also from Pentimento! We personalized the lanterns with a fleur-de-lis finial at the top of each. As the project progressed, two more lanterns were needed as the finishing touch at the front entry. We delivered everything on time and in her budget!
Althea, who worked with us on other projects years ago, was a delight to work with. We are so happy she came back to us again!

From concept to completion...personalized!
Our client came to us with her architect wanting outdoor lanterns for her new custom home. She had a vision of "Santa Barbara style".
We listened...
We sketched...
We shared several collaboration sessions while discussing the many details of the project. This was the winning design.
And as a final personal touch we created custom, initialed, embossed medallions for the backplates of the lanterns at the home's entry.
A unique stamp on this very beautiful home. Here's the entry.
The lantern design was used throughout the property.
We so enjoyed working together with everyone on this project! The experience was truly one of collaboration - creating exactly what the client wanted while being mindful of the project's budget. We also designed and fabricated many more details for the home: iron chandeliers for the living room and the kitchen; iron sconces; iron railings, inside and out; iron window guards and iron gates. As the single source for all of the iron and lighting products, we helped the client by not only coordinating those details, but also by creating a very cohesive aesthetic throughout the property. Stay tuned to our blog. We will definitely be showing more pics of this lovely home in the near future.

Bid on This!
To support NEWH and their mission of education and scholarships, we've donated this original, three-dimensional, memorabilia collage featuring The Breakers Hotel of Palm Beach Florida, to be auctioned off from May 12th through May 23rd. in conjunction with HDExpo in Las Vegas. Show your support by placing a bid on this and many other fun and unique items!
We started with an original 1920's vintage post card recreated as a giclée art print on archival watercolor paper. This one-of-a-kind piece is complemented with a whitewashed, distressed frame, real shells and a print of the post card's reverse side, showing the handwritten message
posted in 1921.
Check out this close-up of the back of the original postcard! This iconic property was originally built in 1896 as The Palm Beach Inn, by Standard Oil magnate, Henry Morrison Flagler. During an expansion project The Breakers burned down on June 9, 1903. Less than a year later it reopened on February 1, 1904 to universal acclaim. Rooms started at four dollars a night, including three meals a day. Can you imagine!? Later, another tragic fire on March 18, 1925 destroyed the all-wood building of the hotel. In January of 1926 construction began, once again, with the new building being modeled after the Villa Medici in Rome, Italy.
The Breakers' guest register read like a "who's who" of early twentieth century America—Rockefellers, Vanderbuilts, Astors, Andrew Carnegie and J.P. Morgan vacationed alongside United States presidents and European nobility.
We think "The Breakers" is a lovely tribute to a famous place in hospitality history, plus a glimpse into another era. Check out more items to bid on in support of NEWH and it's scholarship program!
What historic place or person would you like to see paid tribute to in the form of an original collaged artwork? Let us know!
