When the Smalls were planning the house they were building in Atlantic City nine years ago, they struck a deal. La'Quetta Small, wife and mom, would control the decor of 3,200 of the home's 4,000 square feet. The vision for the remaining 800 square feet would be left to her husband, Marty.
La'Quetta wanted a clean, contemporary aesthetic for the place. When she saw that Marty had picked a solid black hue for the cave's ceiling, she had issues. But Marty reminded her: In his zone, this was his call.
What he came up with is a mosaic fashioned from team flags, players decals, Eagles Country signs, commemorative newspapers.
