This was a fun project and a great example of the reward of persistence. The client and stair designer had been working on the Celtic-focused design for quite some time and it felt like the creative process had stagnated. When Bernadette was asked if she had any Celtic examples that she really loved, she pulled an earring from her ear and said “I love these earrings.” Very quickly, several rough pencil sketches based on the look of the earrings were thrown on scratch paper and this very unique custom iron baluster was born.
