Behind the Scenes: Pratt & Larson Tour Recently, our neighbors Pratt & Larson, one of the country’s leading tile manufacturers, hosted a walk-through their studio. On the tour, we got to see how they make their beautiful, handcrafted tile, which we have ordered for many of our clients over the years.
Pratt & Larsen opened in 1980. It now distributes its tile all over the U.S. and Canada and has over 100 employees.
We love our local talent and there is certainly plenty to choose from around here, but please forgive us this week as we give a shout out to Breck Armstrong of Moss Studios in Michigan. These mirrors pictured above are made using old tire molds. The pine frames were given a wax finish and both convex and standard mirrors were set inside to give these industrial pieces a more contemporary look and an interior application. They’re functional and lend dimension to the wall, not to mention, they’re really cool to look at, but all of that aside, we just love how unique they are.

Culture Club: Race For The Roses
Several of our staffers were among the 5,000 participants in this year’s Albertina Kerr Race for the Roses. SRM employees participated in all three events – the 5k, 10k, and even the half-marathon.
The annual race raises awareness for Albertina Kerr, an organization that works to create a community where all people with developmental disabilities can lead rich and fulfilling lives. Here, our team is photographed with our friend Jeanne Farr, Senior VP of Developmental Disabilities Services at Albertina Kerr. We met some incredible people at this event, and can’t wait to participate again next year!

Dovetail: the best residential interiors clients and the newest design ideas brought together.
In the world of furniture making, a dovetail represents the best of the craft. In the world of metaphors, the verb dovetail signifies the harmonious and compact bringing together of parts to make a beautiful and efficient whole.
At SRM, we’ve adopted the term as the title for our new interiors blog. With Dovetail, we build on our bond with our clients by bringing them together with design resources and ideas that aren’t available to the general public. We hope you enjoy our discoveries and observations and welcome your feedback!
