Work in Progress: Selecting Stone

Innovative finish selections can be the most fun part of our job… It’s great when homeowners step outside of their comfort zone and allow us to design a home that rich with unique finishes, yet still keeping functionality and home value in mind.

When we posted this photo on our instagram and facebook of the stone selection in progress at a slab yard with our client, we got alot of feedback! So, we thought we’d ask you…

Eeenie meenie miney mo… We’re going for drama! 

Which stone would you want us to choose for YOU? 

The Life of a Custom Chair…

If you’ve been following along on our pulp instagram, you’ve seen this little chair through it’s custom process…. We thought we’d share some of the process all in one place! Custom is definitley a process that takes a piece from a designer’s imagination, to sketch, to fruition, and then into a stylish interior.

We love designing custom pieces for our design clients and for our shop customers, not because custom gives you something luxurious that no one else has… but, because it allows us to tailor items to our client’s needs. This dining chair style is perfect for this space, but it also functions. The outside back fabric is dynamic, while the interior is a wipeable material that will keep this chair lasting a lifetime. For some, it’s just worth the investment to do it right the first time.

We think this chair has many delicious meals and great conversations in it’s future…

We can’t wait to show you the complete space soon!

 

Pulp Takes NYC!

[original photo by Kevin Dotolo]

 

Today we are crossing the continent to meet in NYC for some Pulp Design client work and for some exciting Pulp Home opportunities (that I’m sure you’ll hear about soon)…

Carolina is heading in from Dallas and Beth from Seattle! We are so excited to get to spend some quality time in the city. It’s always great when we get face time to brainstorm, plan, and just get some good ol’ quality friend time in.

It’ll be mostly business, but all fun. That being said, we won’t be present on the blog for the next week or so…

But, you can get some sneak peeks into what were working on and where we’re playing by following us on instagram:

PULP Custom: Acrylic Shelf with Vase

It’s amazing how much coordination and design can go into one little piece… As product designers working on our own line of goodies, we know that better than anyone. But, it’s amazing to see that piece when it all comes together and gets installed.

We just installed this custom shelf we designed for our Pulp Design Studios client. Simple as it is, this shelf added something really special to this modern powder bath.

We’re looking forward to seeing what kind of fresh flowers our client adds to this chic little bud vase!

If this was your shelf, what would you add to that chic little bud vase?
