Decoupage or Paint Some Fall Leaves

September 20, 2011 By Colleen Jorgenson Leave a Comment

Fall-Leaf-Serving-Tray

I made this decoupage and paint project when I was a guest over at Type A Decorating a couple of weeks ago and wanted to share it with you. I like things that make life easy. Gadgets. Tools. You know how if you have the right tools, projects are so much easier? Whether it’s painting, […]

Paint a Watermelon Floorcloth with Krylon Dual Spray Paint

July 5, 2011 By Colleen Jorgenson Leave a Comment

Paint a Watermelon Floorcloth

Who doesn’t love spray paint? If there’s something easier, and quicker, to transform a project, I don’t know what it is. So I was beyond excited to try a new spray paint by Krylon. It’s paint + primer. In one can! I couldn’t wait to give this paint + primer a try. I had been […]

Paint a Winter Scene

I’ve been MIA for the past few days, and I apologize for that. I’ll tell you why in another post. First, let’s finish up this painting ‘cause we’re almost done. All that’s left is the border and some ‘snowflakes’. For the border, slap on some of the medium blue paint. Paint a small area so […]

Painting Winter Scene–Part Deux

October 29, 2010 By Colleen Jorgenson 1 Comment

Paint Winter Scene Part 2

Today we’re going to paint the snow-covered trees. In this painting, I did two different kinds. But just pick one. Your painting will look much better. With the same light blue paint, paint an outline of a tree. Or two. Or three. Or more. Think triangles. That’s all they are. I start at the bottom […]

Paint Winter Scene Part 1

Are you guys tired of these step-by-step projects yet? Sometimes I wonder. I mean, how interesting can it be to look at still shots of paint? Of course, if you like to paint, or want to paint, I guess you might find them interesting. What’s funny is, it takes me longer to fix the photos […]
