Top Ten Designs of 2015
Here is a self nominated and self awarded list of our top ten birdmouse projects of 2015. It is a mix of both our artwork and furniture. Here we go:
#10 The Stan Desk
The client wanted a simple, clean design.
Love that wood + white.
#9 Sarah's Eyeglass Display Case
We used the side boards from the collapsed community hockey rink on our property for this piece.
Because where else does one keep 20 pairs of eye glasses?
#8 Yoga Studio Reception Desk
The client wanted custom dimensions to hold bolsters and mats inside.
Namaste!
#7 F%#& This S%*#!
This video was more popular than the amount of snow the Maritimes received last winter. Snowmaggedon induced harsh language.
Watch artist, Lenny Gallant, as he paints a masterpiece inspired by the springtime weather on Prince Edward Island, Canada.
#6 Abstracts & The Super Blood Moon Series
Artwork is a more recent addition to our reclaimed wood repertoire. It took a more sophisticated turn this year which you can read about here.
A supermoon energized highly creative and productive shift for birdmouse.
#5 Habitat for Humanity Design Challenge
We created a puppet theatre from an old armoire for the win! After their debut at this event, we released our "Manana" logo t-shirts in our online store.
Birdmouse took the cake! A fun night for a great cause.
#4 Knitting Cabinet
The client wanted a personalized piece to showcase their family heirloom stained glass.
Custom Knitting Storage Hutch
#3 Loft Ladders
This is something we never expected to be making and so had to review our trigonometry (SOHCAHTOA!).
We made not one, but two loft ladders for separate, and equally lovely, clients.
#2 Watercolour Headboard
This custom piece incorporated the client's heirloom sewing machine and was based on a watercolour painting of the client's. You can read more about this project here.
Inspired by the client's watercolour painting, this makes a striking headboard.
20 foot murals in super popular community spaces happen to be our #1 favourite projects!
Wow - these were just the highlights! We met so many amazing people over the year and it is truly an honour to create pieces that play a role in your homes and businesses. What will 2016 bring?
