Handcrafted Marmoleum Custom Insets
In late 2009, this custom Marmoleum floor was commissioned to be installed in a kitchen/dinette and stairwell. The home was built in the mid 1950′s, and has a very old set of concrete stairs that was to be installed with Marmoleum, coved with a clean looking retro “scribe to” stair nosing. The stairs required a significant amount of preparation, as can be seen in the “before” pictures. The homeowners/clients demonstrated extraordinary patience with the processes required to complete this custom installation in a manner that will be enjoyed for years to come.
The dance steps are for the Tango. They were designed, proportioned and positioned by the homeowner.
The actual steps were cut out prior to installation, as were the arrowheads. The lines of the arrows were heat welded with Marmoleum camouflage welding rod.
Most of the installation process has been documented.
Please enjoy scrolling through the documentation.
This is the type of project that I especially enjoy crafting and sharing the clients surprise of and satisfaction with the end result. This is because they rely on me to interpret their palette, their custom design, and a piece of themselves that they are imprinting on/in their home and the lives of those who they hospitably invite into their kitchen.
