I came back with my adult daughter for a fused art class, and Evelina welcomed everyone with wine and appetizers and an explanation of how to make art. There were bins of colored glass in many shapes and sizes to play with. She spent extra time with my daughter who was having trouble letting her creative side out. They made a glass dish together that everyone compliments. Then Jessie began to play with shapes and colors to make a few other pieces. Her confidence came out! I get compliments on the art pendants I created, too. I'll be bringing more friends with me next time!

She gave me an initial quote based on pictures of the damage and when saw the painting personally she even charged me less for the fix.

I found them at the Antique & Art Restoration center. The piece looked like it might be beyond repair, but Igor made it look like new repairing damage and restoring the original colors.

It is a very unique black boy doll and clearly of historical value. Somehow, it got damaged. When I learned that the family decided the doll should go to the local library, I panicked. Igor immediately figured out how it had been damaged (loose parakeets!) and was able to seamlessly fix the damage. Like nothing ever happened. He was also able to identify newer clothes on the doll by fabric weight. A true archaeologist. Worth every penny. I would trust the crown jewels to Igor.

Then he asked me if they were precious to me. When I said, "Yes," he told me to go ahead and fix them. He also told me it was going to take a while, more than a month or six weeks. I left the candlesticks with him. In the process, we had a wonderful conversation about our own origins and the commonalities. A couple of months went by and I got the call from Mrs. Dirilen that the candlesticks were ready. I was floored by how they looked. Perfect and shining and lacquered. I was thrilled! I'm looking around my home to see what else I can bring to them!

Jake took the time to talk through why a particular art placement made sense and to think carefully about exactly where each piece should go, given the context of the house. It genuinely felt like I was getting a private art lesson, and I learned so much! Once we figured out the placement of all the art, Jake was incredibly fast at getting everything onto the walls. He also took the time to swap out hardware when it made sense, which will no doubt make hanging these pieces in the future even easier. Since he left, every single person who has walked into our home has remarked on how put-together it looks. The only difference? Jake's art placement. Truly nothing else about the house changed, yet people's experience of the space is completely different. It never occurred to me to search for a professional art installer before, but with a new house and a baby on the way, I was especially motivated to get some help. I'm so glad I did. The art is actually on the walls, it went up faster and better than I ever could have managed myself, and I feel much more confident that everything is positioned in a way that shows off both the house and the art. We already have plans for a few additional gallery walls, and we know we'll be reaching out to Jake again for those projects!
