Children’s Playroom

 

DSCN2103

When it comes to Children’s Playrooms, this one is about as colorful as it gets.  It’s actually in a non-profit center for children in need.  A friend of mine who was volunteering there a few years back, asked if I’d be willing to lend a hand giving this room a fresh coat of paint.  When I walked in, the walls were white, and I looked down at the carpet and thought, ‘Yep, this room needs an update!’  It was then that I was told the carpet had just been donated, and it wasn’t going anywhere.  Yikes!  So what do you do when you have bright blue carpet, that mixes multi-colored farm and exotic animals together!?  The only thing that came to mind for me was….If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em!

Boys Dresser

No matter how long I’ve been doing this, I still seem to learn from every project…and in the case of this Boys Dresser, I actually learned two things:  One, sometimes I picture things way differently in my mind.  And, Two, you should really read directions.  You’ll see what I mean as you continue reading on.  For now, let me take you back to the beginning, when this cute and colorful dresser was plain white.

Silhouette Mural

DSC_1012

If you’re looking for artwork that makes an impact, without being too bold or in your face, a Silhouette Mural is a great way to go.  This is one I painted for my dentist so she has a calming, delicate backdrop when she’s working in her office between patients.  These days, you can find graphic patterns like this in vinyl.  But with painted silhouette murals, you’re not limited to the pre-cut sizes.  You can paint them the exact size you need to fit a particular space.  And, best of all, you can paint them in what ever color you choose.

No matter what side of the aisle, the counter, or the desk you’re on, I think you’ll find my latest DIY Project is sitting pretty.  For lack of a better name, I’m calling it the “2-Sided Memo Stand.”  On one side, it’s a chalkboard.  On the other, it’s a clipboard.

Furniture Flip Update

DSC_0210

And now time for an important Furniture Flip Update… (Insert news bulletin soundtrack here.)  Last month, in a Murals by Marcy video tutorial, you saw me take an old piece of furniture that had been sitting out in the elements, and had the water damage to prove it…and I turned it into this darling dresser. It’s now pretty in pink with black piping and a striped top, accented by pink crystal knobs.   Well, I’m happy to report, it’s SOLD.
