Playworks Redlands

~ I had the great pleasure to be asked to work at Playworks, once again.  They wanted a "Cat in the Hat" theme for one of their rooms.  I'm very pleased with the results! ~

 ~ And, here is the finished room.  Little fish in his fishbowl, and all! ~

Taylor's Bar & Grill

I was recently asked to transform Taylor's in Redlands, and to give it a lot of character

Using my faux techniques to create a "rustic feel" - Taylor's now has lots of character - and looks like it's an old brick building.  Let's take a look at some fun "before's" and "after's"!

 Before of the front entrance

A work in progress - adding all of the hand painted bricks

Front entrance with faux painted front door

The sign - before - but after the wood had begun it's transformation from green to a more natural dark brown wood finish.

The sign on the east side of the building - after the faux technique

I added a topiary by the front door

Complete with faux cigarette butts in the planter 

The owner has to sweep up cigarette butts from the walk way all the time... let them try to sweep this one up!

Another view of the front entrance.  This was while the work was in progress and before I had begun painting the front door.

The brick look was added to the famous smoking room as well!

This is the East Side Entrance

Notice the greenery "growing" under the eves

Another view of the entrance and greenery 

One more look at the finished front entrance - complete with antique green shutters from Maine.

 

This was a great job - and I loved doing it.  I am so pleased with how we were able to transform Taylor's into a rustic antique looking brick building!  Full of character and fun place to hang out.  Hey, the food is really good too!

Playworks

Playworks, in Redlands, allowed me to come work some magic with a long hallway.  They wanted a "Bug Garden" theme.  Here's what we came up with.  I think it's quite whimsical!

Redlands Unified School District

~ At one time, Redlands was covered in Orange Tree groves. Acres and acres of them. The Redlands Unified School District asked me to recreate the wonderful orange groves on the walls of their Enrollment Center. ~

The Jump Zone is a fun play center for kids.  I had a great time on this job!

This was an incredibly fun job for a local Orthodontist office in Redlands.

Restaurant

This was a large job for a local restaurant.

All the surfaces were plain,

and I completed with several different faux finishes.

and wood finish on the half wall ~
