Historical Society: The big display

Here is the last installment of my work from my internship last summer. Here are some shots from the Blue Front Theater in Harrodsburg, Kentucky. There are photos of the before shots from an earlier post with this same tag on it if you would like to see it. Here it is though fully renovated and beautiful! But the display that holds the portraits of Mr. & Mrs. Anderson ( owners of the company Belcan that i worked for) I designed another two displays but they chose not to go ahead and use them but for not there is this 8' by 5' display for the painting and I believe another 3 feet wide.

It is made out of mahogany doors that are through out the theater.

All finished!

Last Summer during my internship at Belcan in Cincinnati I was able to work with the National Historic Society. This project was a lot of fun. I was able to go down to Harrodsburgh,KY a few times. This is one of the project that I was able to do with them. ( the other is coming soon) It is so cool to see it finally be finished and in place. This is exactly what they wanted even though I had no idea to what colors they were choosing. But this is my design! Up and for all to see! ;)

Either way I love that I got the experience that I did and love to see it all set in place.






In other news I have been chosen by my work to design and carry out the window displays for the Haiku Holiday season. It is a competition in the Short North for their Business Commerce Association. I am doing a special installation piece as well I will be posting it as it comes to life. Sketches will be up soon as well.

The Bluefront Theater

The Bluefront Theater is in downtown Harrodsburg, KY. It was abandoned for years and years but the owner of my company is remodeling it and placing it on the national historic registry just as the Beaumont Inn. The fist shot is a before. The place was a wreck. But the other shots of it getting finished. The bars running across the ceiling are to holding the street wall up. It was a few inches off grade and that is the best and only way that they could fix it and keep everything original. They brought artists in to re plaster and paint the original graphics back on to the walls. All the wood is hand worked. the photos don't do it justice. it is so pretty there. On the stage there will be three displays that i designed and drew out on a program called Revit.










The first display there will be two of flanking the middle one. They will be viewed all the way around. there will be a display casing as well as shelving to place little booklets on to.




The middle larger display will have in the front a 7' x 4' painting of the owner of the company and his wife. On the back of it there will be one of the original lanterns hanging that was found on site before renovations began. The sides have shelves to hold booklets as well.

Logos for Beaumont Inn

The Beaumont Inn is over 100 years old, run by the same family. It actually looks alot like you are in the middle of the Catskills, even though you are way down in southern Kentucky. I designed two logos for them the first is for their new addition to the area. They are remodeling a few room to have a new bar area. This loso will be etched in to the glass that is going in back of the bar area. The other is for the revamp of the dining area. This is a revamp of their main logo as well, which they liked enough, that they are going to start using it too. They are all in the works at the moment and will be posted fully when they are all installed on site.
