The Secret Garden's Trellis



I wanted to share  some photos of this trellis we did in July. This trellis was made for a family in the Briarcliff area. It was made to go in there 21 year-old daughter's "secret" garden. It's not really a very secret garden, but it was a very special place for her as a child.



It consisted of three Turkish inspired arches paired with sweeping trellises of pierce bar. It's lovely combination of rugged and elegant.




Both the family and ourselves are looking forward to seeing it after the garden has had time to grow and embrace it's new addition. It's going to be a beautiful way to encourage the vine and plants to flourish.

Official Blog Launch

And we're off! This is the first post of the BearHead Designs, Inc. official blog. Allow me to introduce our people!

I am Kelsey of BearHeadDesigns, Inc. (or BHD). I'm the "Director of Minutia" at BHD - I keep the pencils sharpened and the paper rolling. I'm also the wife to our Owner/President/CEO/Foreman and mother to our baby girl (in the photo with me) whom we lovingly call "Beans".


This is the aforementioned Owner/President/CEO/Foreman, Jason. He's also "dah dah" and husband. He keeps the forge roaring and the hammer pounding. Starting BHD was his idea. He earned a BFA
 in sculpture from the Atlanta College or Art and has been working as an ironworker/blacksmith for nearly 7 years. He dedided to start BHD as a way to personalize his craft and spend more time with his family.



And this silly looking beast is our mascot, the BearHead herself. Yes, that's right. We named out company after our beloved Anatolian Shepherd, Sadie Bear. She doesn't do much as far as ironwork or office work is concerned, but she makes the baby laugh and is always happy to play ball or be the recipient of a good belly rub.


That's our BHD family in a short post. Please check out our other posts (as soon as we get more going) to see what cool projects we've got going on. Thanks!
