My Disney projects continue! I actually haven’t finished this, but I wanted to share my progress. This mural is being painted on the backside of a closet door. Why the backside? Because the picture below was painted on the front. I painted this a few years ago when the room was decorated in Classic Pooh. […]
Completed Disney Mural
I went back last week and finished painting this cute mural based upon Disney characters. If you missed my earlier post, you can see the beginning steps here. This ‘horse’ wall was complete, except for the flowers. The adjacent wall was my goal. I had previously brought the branch onto the wall & chalked the […]
Disney Mural for Little Girls’ Bedroom
I didn’t get a chance to finish this Saturday, but thought I’d go ahead and post it anyway. I’ll finish it up later this week. The mural is for two pretty sisters – 4 & 5 years old – who share this wonderful girly-girl lavender room. I’ll take pictures of the whole room later because […]
Fireplace Mantel Redo
This mantel started out bright white. Quite stunning, but just too stark on the muted rock wall. It really stood out in the room. And you really don’t want any one thing to grab your attention in a room. You want everything to ‘go together’, don’t you think? The first thing I did was add […]
Baby Name Canvas
I love painting anything – absolutely anything. But there’s nothing sweeter than painting something for a new baby. Last week I got 3 new commissions – all of them Disney based, so I was prepared to spend the weekend on them. However, we were invited to a baby shower on Saturday. I knew I’d eventually […]
Wine Cellar Mural
Well, it’s not really a cellar, but wine ‘closet’ just didn’t sound as appealing. First, let me just say how much I love these clients. I met them years ago when I was a floral designer in a craft store and she was planning her daughter’s wedding. I wound up doing all the flowers for […]
His & Hers Bedroom Mural
I’ve said before the cool thing about painting commissioned murals is the fact that I can make them personal for my clients. It’s like going to the hairdresser – they take an hour to do your hair, but you’re the one who has to live with it! Same with painting. I don’t always agree with […]
ModPodge + Paint = Art
We’re getting ready at my mom’s house to start decorating for Spring. A little late, I know, but that’s us. She just bought a beautiful new ivory bedding set from HSN. While it looks stunning with her black furniture, the room was just a little ‘blah’. We’ve talked about painting the walls – finally! I’ve […]
