UNDERSTANDING COMMISSIONS

I have added a page called the "Commission Process" under Ordering Info. If you've ever wondered what it woud be like, this page explaines in a nutshell how a typical commission might work... It's not that scary. As long as you are fairly confident about what you want, we can confer, sketch, and collaberate to come up with something great for that special intimate space you have or something you can build a room around. Questions answered for free.

What's in a name?

My last name is pronounced rou'-tee. Rhymes with pouty. It is of German derivation. Jon or Jack? My given name is Jon Michael Route but like JFK, I'm usually called by my nick-name, Jack. Just don't call me late for dinner, yuk, yuk.
