Memories of home :-). Having grown up in Bristol, and having the gracious, mesmerising and occasionally slightly bonkers hot-air balloons floating past my bedroom window as a child, when I was approached by Louise via social media to ask if I could create a 5 panel door surround for her new home based on just that, I have to admit I jumped at the opportunity!
After receiving a collection of photos and a video of the space planned for the window, as well as exact measurements of the space following my guidelines, I prepared 3 very different designs for Louise to consider, as well as options of the designs set over all 5 panels as one cohesive design, and then set over a smaller number of panels, to consider budget and how 'busy' the final designs may look within their intended setting. To help her explore this further, I used computer generated images to superimpose the sketches onto the photos of her hallway, and she also printed the designs out to scale and placed them on her windows at home!!
Once we had decided on the final design, we arranged a payment plan to be spread over the next few months to cover both the deposit , with the final balance and delivery costs to be paid on completion.
Louise will be arranging to have these panels installed independently by a local joiner, but due to the scale of the project, it was agreed that delivery in person would probably be the safest and most convenient option!
