Handpainted Wallpaper

My daughter chose this graphic design for her dining room. It depicts the handpainted wallpaper look from years ago. I had oodles of fun doing this for her. She challenges me to grow in design.

Updated Fireplace

~ A plain white fireplace can be transformed and updated ~

~ To look like travertine marble ~

~ Two coats of high gloss sealer to "seal the deal" ~

~ And a fireplace has been transformed in a matter of a few hours ~

Butler's Pantry

One of my more recent jobs - a Butler's Pantry decorated with grapevines and "exposed brick".

Fireplace Transformation

This was a fun job that I did for my daughter. Her fireplace was originally southwestern plain terra cotta tiles. She wanted something different.

If you have tile that you aren't happy with - or just want to update or change the look - remember, anything can be painted!

If you are concerned about how well the paint will hold up... this was painted five years ago. Still looks brand new!

Molly's Nursery

Pictures have already been posted of the nursery I painted for my daughter Molly. You can see that post here. Wanted to show some updated photos with all of the beautiful furniture in place - just waiting for the arrival of my new Granddaughter!

Now all we need is the addition of a very special baby girl!

Lion & Monkey Nursery

~ This nursery was painted to match the adorable Lion and Monkey bedding ~

South of the Border - Part Two

Here is the nursery that I painted for my friends neighbors while on my trip "south of the border". 

  

~ The alcove on the other wall ~

~ They liked the nursery so well that they asked me to add some "plant life" to the other bedroom ~

South of the Border

I just had the fortunate pleasure of adding some art work to some homes, "south of the border".  I worked on a friends home - and added some artwork for the neighbors as well. 

Here is the work I did my for my wonderful friend!

~ A little potted plant that won't ever need watering ~

~ The staircase before ~

~ and after adding some palms ~

~ The Dining Room before ~

~ One of the Guest Rooms ~

~ And the other Guest Room ~

All The Walls

This client had originally only planned for me to paint one room. However, they were so happy with the results that the job expanded to practically the entire house.

~ This finish was bronze and brown over a

fairly bold gold color ~

~ Here is the transition from the dining room into the kitchen ~

~ The master bedroom and bath were finished with gold metallic, brown and a hint of bronze over a taupe base ~
~ And finally, her son's room was painted with stainless and silver metallic over a pencil lead paint base ~
