Brickworkz LEGO mosaics : Clientz : The Pollards: Planning the Installation Planning the InstallationToday, I went price shopping for glass, Lexan, base boards, Plexi and bolts, drawer pulls, threaded bolts and epoxy. I finally decided how to mount this thing to make it look contemporary, and as it turns out, it'll be done in the style of the furniture in my own living room. This will match their decor too, which is contemporary and very modern looking. The mosaic's outer dimensions are 35¼ by 27½. I am going to mount the mosaic onto a baseboard. I want to use something light in color, so despite the cost, I'm going to go for either maple or light oak, which is perfectly stable, light-weight, light in color and very attracive. It should match everything in their house. Now, with the mosaic on the base, I want a plate of glass extending beyond the piece by several inches. There should be bolts that are metallic, capped with something attractive (I'm thinking about a drawer pull...something in brushed nickel to match the modern style.) I can create the illusion of width by extending the sides longer than the height. This'll also provide a really contemporary look because it'll look like glass, but be light enough to hang. I went to Lowe's in Short pump, Home Depot, and Lowe's down my way. I think I have an idea of what I want. Now it's time to run the numbers and just go do it.
