Exactly what we asked for, and looks perfect on the front of our new home. Great art! **★★★★★ — golfgirl79, Nov. 2014** > Nutmeg Designs did an amazing job on our house numbers! We are in a newer neighbourhood where everyone has to put up their own house numbers and I was getting bored with seeing everyone's Canadian Tire special... I wanted something unique and different! Nutmeg was the place to go! They matched our house colours perfectly and we have gotten so many compliments! Will definitely recommend everyone we know who's looking for something special to check them out!!! **Comment from Nutmeg Designs:** > That made me feel like I was back home in Canada when you mentioned Canadian Tire! Glad to create something different for your home. **★★★★★ — persicola, Oct. 2014** > The house numbers are beautiful, so much nicer in person! They are exceptionally well-made with colorful glass tiles that give them a custom look. They sparkle when the sunlight hits them and add character and charm to my house! I have received so many compliments on the shades of ocean blue and green that you chose for me. Thank you!!! :) **Comment from Nutmeg Designs:** > We are glad to add sparkle to your house! Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. **★★★★★ — Steve Cibarich, Oct. 2014** > What an amazing item this turned out to be. > > I know, I know, numbers for a house? How impressive could that be? Well, everyone who's stopped by our house since we've gotten the numbers has commented how amazing they look. > > When we got our house, we had the problem that a lot of homes do: no easily identifiable house numbers. This is very frustrating every time we get a delivery, or have to tell people where to find us. The solution? This design. > > I looked at a lot of similar designs and was really looking for something special... I wanted to get my wife something nice for the house for her birthday. I know! House numbers? How romantic. > > Well, it worked. She loved them. > > When I initially showed the general design to her, she suggested a color combination she thought would work. We directly communicated with the designer, who was so easy to work with, and got exactly what we were hoping for. > > So if you're considering this sort of purchase, go for it! I think you'll be surprised at how nice these look and how easy it is to get what you want out of it. **Comment from Nutmeg Designs:** > Thank you for taking the time to post this review! Your color choices were lovely. I am glad that your wife loved the numbers! **★★★★★ — Somer Wamble, Oct. 2014** > I ordered a (4) number house plate from Nutmeg. It has been a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The lines of communication were always open and the artist (Margaret) consulted me on color and design throughout the process. The quality of work and craftsmanship are second to none. Their attention to detail surpassed every expectation I had. About (6) weeks after I received my handcrafted numbers, I received a beautiful handwritten thank you card in the mail from Nutmeg. Great customer service! To say that I am satisfied would be a total understatement. I have recommended Nutmeg to several friends and I look forward to the next time I get to work with them! > Somer Wamble > Tulsa, OK **Comment from Nutmeg Designs:** > Love this photo! Thank you Somer for posting this, and for taking the time to review Nutmeg Designs. **★★★★★ — michelleswanford, Oct. 2014** > The craftsmanship of Nutmeg was superb! I ordered house numbers for my lake house and they were absolutely beautiful - very impressed with the quality. Helped give my lake house a much needed face-lift. True artistry. **★★★★★ — grahammom, March 2014** > Our Nutmeg Designs' mosaic glass house number met my specifications: large enough to be seen from the street across a deep front yard, and classically pretty. The pale pink dogwood blooms stand out on the dark green background, enhanced with pieces of mirrored glass. The lovely design captures the years of love we have spent making this house our family's home. We highly recommend Nutmeg Designs for excellent, unique craftsmanship. **★★★★★ — carolinecbrown, March 2014** > Nutmeg Designs made a BEAUTIFUL original house number sign for us! We worked together on colors and style and Margaret communicated regularly about the time frame and sent us pictures of possible tiles to use. It makes us smile every time we walk in the front door. **★★★★★ — konagirl57, Jan. 2014** > Nutmeg Designs crafted a custom mosaic address plaque for our home. It is completely unique to the other addresses on our street, easy to read and a beautiful piece of art. We wanted something special to set our tract home apart and we are very pleased with the result! **★★★★★ — flowerladee, April 2013** > We are very happy with our address plaque. Nutmeg Designs is wonderful to work with. We let them know which design we had been looking at online, what colors we wanted, and they came through with flying colors :o) Our new home now has that special touch of a hand-made address plaque. Thank you so much! **★★★★★ — ragone01, Sept. 2012** > I commissioned a custom mosaic house number from Nutmeg Designs after having seen their work at craft show. I love the finished product - and it looks beautiful on our house. The communication throughout was friendly, professional and thorough. My questions were always answered. The whole process went smoothly from start to finish. I highly recommend Nutmeg Designs! **★★★★★ — suzannehalstead, Sept. 2012** > I have worked with Nutmeg Designs on several projects over the past 3 years always with exemplary results. And so it was my first choice when moving into a new home to commission them to create a new house number sign. I describe how I wanted the background & numbers to look, lined up vertically along with suggested colors. Sent them photos of the front of the house so they could see where it would go. I was sent design drawings for approval along with the final cost and date of completion. I was delighted with the results and couldn't wait to hang it up! There isn't a person who comes through our front door that doesn't comment on the beauty and uniqueness of our house number. I highly recommend Nutmeg Designs for their creative spirit, attention to detail and personable professionalism. ## Selected projects - [3 Digit Handcrafted Mosaic House Numbers](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/3-digit-handcrafted-mosaic-house-numbers-pj-vj~354291) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: Nutmeg Designs Custom House Numbers on slate, glass mosaic in your colors. http://nutmegdesignsart.com/house-numbers/ - [Mosaic House Numbers on Slate by Nutmeg Designs](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mosaic-house-numbers-on-slate-by-nutmeg-designs-pj-vj~88873) - Location: Philadelphia, PA - Photos: 8 - Description: Custom glass mosaic house plaques on slate.

I really like the tile in the shower area…. where did you find it? A: It reminds me of Hot Glass Aventurine tile in Wheatfield blend.Hot Glass Aventurine Blended from Cool Tiles **Q: Suggestions to furnish/decorate long fireplace wall** *(in Design Dilemma)* This is a long, shallow room with windows very close to corners and fireplace in center. A: Perhaps something to echo the shape of the clipped gable line of the ceiling? **Q: Backsplash grout color** *(in Design Dilemma)* I am installing a tile backsplash on the back wall of my kitchen as part of a remodel. I need to select a grout color. What do you base this decision on? Should the grout color complement the countertop? The tile is Elida Ceramica Crackled Linear Silk Glazed Porcelain Mosaic (picture attached). Countertop is Zodiac course pepper. Cabinets are woodmark honey maple. The tile will end when the bank of cabinets ends. What do you do on the wall where the tile ends to make this look nice? A: Grout can unify or fragment your tile - sometimes it helps to make sample swatches - glue a few tiles on a scrap of backer-board, and grout to get the effect. **Q: I do not see this exact color scheme in your store selections.** *(in Photo Questions)* A: You can reference the 1115 in the comments field when you place your order, and we'll know that is the color scheme you want. Thanks! **Q: Help decorating fireplace in living room with high ceiling.** *(in Design Dilemma)* I'm at a loss how to decorate my fireplace. The wall above the mantel is so high I don't know what to put there. Its two stories (not sure how many feet). Everything seems to get "lost". The mantel shelf is only 6 1/2" deep. Also, do you think I should white wash the brick to soften the look? A: I heard Katherine Hackl speak, and she showed an example of one of her tile installations above a mantle. **Q: POLL: Household TVs** *(in Polls)* Fall TV is right around the corner!
