Quakertown, PA Job


Job Description:

This is a Seascape Mural designed and installed by deGruchy Masonry in a wrap-around screened porch. We embedded all types of sea shells, hand made tiles and terra cotta bugs, cattails, dragonflies, squids that Andy and his wife and children made and had glazed and fired before installation.

Cast concrete sun was placed on one wall, concrete moon on adjacent wall. The beach area meanders through the center using white beach sand exposed in a white stucco. The balance of the wall is an exposed aggregate ''pebble-dash'' plaster. Real grape vines were drug out of the woods soaked in a pond and wound around the ceiling the entire length of the porch to hide imitation birds, butterflies, nests, and small lights for stars. Kids love finding the rubber frogs, crawfish, snakes and flies coming out of the stucco.
