Frog Prince Nursery

By on August 15, 2013 in Children’s Rooms, In the Home, Interior Murals

One of the very first murals I ever painted was for an expectant mom who wanted a Frog Prince Nursery for her soon-to-be-born baby boy.  He’s in 3rd grade now, but to this day, his nursery is still one of my favorite projects of all time.  I think it’s because of the mother’s fabulous taste.  She didn’t want some Winnie the Pooh mural in primary colors.  She wanted something classic, yet understated.  She even pointed to a book of nurseries done by designer Wendy Bellisimo.  I was in awe.  I knew I could paint it, I just wasn’t sure how to make the overall effect look airy and muted.

Make the Most of the Mundane

We all have areas in our home that we’d rather not spend time in… but with a little paint you can make the most of the mundane. Whether it’s a boring laundry room, or a narrow hallway, murals can liven things up without taking up any space.

One of my favorite rooms in my home is actually my laundry room.  Not many people can say that.  And, I don’t even have one of those new, beautiful, high-efficiency washer and dryer sets.  I have the plain, old fashioned kind that are getting up in years.  The room itself, is not that impressive either.  Just take a look at this Before picture:

Creative Classrooms

By on August 7, 2013 in DIY, Projects, Props, Uncategorized

R370It’s Back-to-school time, and you’ve really gotta hand it to teachers who go the extra mile to set up creative classrooms with colorful bulletin boards and all kinds of artwork.  Using the most basic of supplies — usually just colored paper, scissors and a stapler — their efforts welcome and inspire students who will be spending much of their foreseeable future staring at those walls.

Personalized Children’s Canvases

Hello Kitty Theme

Personalized Children’s Canvases…. for me, they’re the next best thing to painting a mural in a baby nursery or child’s room.  While I usually jump at the chance to paint wall murals, it’s just not always practical.  Sometimes the location makes it impossible.  Other times, the family knows there’s a good chance they’ll be moving in the near future, and they just can’t take the mural with them.  That’s when I suggest hand-painted canvases that can be done in any theme and then personalized with the child’s name or initials.  

Here’s some I did recently for a baby boy that not only went with the color scheme of his crib set, they incorporated his Daddy’s favorite sports teams:  The Sacramento Kings, the San Francisco 49ers, and the Atlanta Braves.  I just hope he grows up to like the same teams!

Painting Kitchen Cabinets

By on July 27, 2013 in Cabinets, Furniture

One of the most challenging projects I’ve ever taken on is painting kitchen cabinets.  If you’re one of those people who can’t stand their kitchen, but can’t afford to reface their existing cabinets, let alone buy new ones, then painting them is definitely something to consider.  I know there are people who frown on the idea, but you really can change the look of your kitchen dramatically without spending a fortune.  Just be prepared to invest a lot of time.

Teenage Bedroom

Quick! Grab the camera!  This teenage bedroom is CLEAN… and heaven knows it won’t stay that way for long.  It’s got a pretty spiffy paint job too, if I do say so myself.  Just the fact I used the word, “spiffy” should have my daughter’s eyes rolling…right…about…NOW!  Ahhh, the joys of raising a teenager!  Before my daughter’s room was blue with pearlescent stripes and covered in One Direction posters, it belonged to a little girl who still played with the toys you now see put away on top of her closet.  But as she entered her teenage years, it was time for a more grown up look, and she knew exactly what she wanted.

Inspiration

Sometimes it’s good to get out of town, not just for a change of scenery, but for inspiration.  That’s exactly what my husband and I did this past week while my daughter was off at Music Camp.  We traveled to one of my favorite places in the world:  Taos, New Mexico.
