We love to make it a family creation! The Parker Family and designer Shawna Kuykendall had an amazing color palette to work with and two great spaces to fill with art. Carlyn started with a few different sketches of what she saw in the space. Shawna was drawn to a new “Color Burst” look with the glass ribbons randomly placed in the two areas.
Designer Amy and Mrs. Hanna came to Carlyn with the need of art on their master bedroom wall. After Mrs. Hanna fell in love with the blossoms, Carlyn suggested a metal branch with glass leaves and blossoms and invited the Hanna family into the studio to participate.
