Ellington & Rose

Last year, when Kate Baird and I accepted a handful of full branding clients, I was thrilled to see the names of Lynn and Allison, the brains behind Ellington & Rose, land in my inbox. At the time, their business wasn’t actually called Ellington & Rose, so I challenged them to do some digging, and come up with a name that really resonated with who they were, as artists and friends. The brand that emerged was nothing but gorgeous, just like their work.

Ellington & Rose is a hand-painted home accessories company based in Norman, Oklahoma. You can visit their Etsy shop to snag one of their gorgeous, luxe frames. A perfect wedding or baby gift, or maybe just an anytime gift for yourself! You know I love these black and white stripes and roses, and I think my favorite frame is the Bridgette!

A huge thanks to Emily McCarthy for logo help, Rachel Shingleton, who teamed up the with E&R girls to offer her dynamite styling and photography skills, and Kate Baird for web development. (And even though I’m not accepting branding projects for 2014, those girls all ARE, so add them to your roster of branding gurus!)
