Painted Floor Screen with Modern Masters Metallics

April 14, 2014 By Colleen Leave a Comment

When the wonderful people at Modern Masters asked me if I’d like to review some of their products, I knew exactly what I wanted to paint – a floor screen I got at the thrift store a while back. I’ve always loved floor screens, or room dividers as they’re often called. I couldn’t believe my […]

Painted Desk with Chalk Paint®

March 23, 2014 By Colleen 28 Comments

Chalk-Painted-Desk

Dry-Brush-Antique-Bronze

I just finished painting an outdoor St. Francis fountain for my mother. Neither Mom nor I like to shop anymore. Or I should say . . . . we don’t shop in stores much. We do, however, enjoy ‘browsing’ QVC and Home Shopping Network. Of course, if you like driving around a parking lot, battling […]

Christmas Decorating–Getting The Designer Look

December 12, 2013 By Colleen Jorgenson Leave a Comment

I wanted to write this holiday decorating series because, while the majority of the year I have a paint brush in my hand, from Fall thru December the florist in me comes out. Having worked in a craft store for years, I find that’s true with a lot of people. When holidays roll around, we […]
