Have you considered an “on-going” mural for a child’s room? This jungle theme mural was a work in progress for several years. You see, my son and his family live in Georgia and I live in Colorado so popping in to paint a mural or add to a mural whenever the mood hits isn’t always an […] […] Murals are one good solution to decorating a small area. In this case the area above the toilet. Although this was not a small master bath my client wanted something that wouldn’t protrude from the wall above the toilet and that he wouldn’t have to dust. After applying a faux finish to the walls, most […] […] Several years ago I received a call from the President of the Broadmoor Resort asking if I could paint “something” in the women’s restrooms on their Golf Course. It seems the owner’s wife had made the request and he thought maybe “some simple vines or something”. After looking at the restrooms simple vines would not […] […] It was autumn when we moved in, I’m sure that influenced the colors I chose for fabrics and the hand painted window treatments. Outside there were scrub oak sporting leaves in warm glorious hues of gold and splendid, deep reds with touches of green.

How do you feel about speaking in front of […] […] As I was finishing the painting in the kitchen I was asked to look at the master bedroom. The home owner had a favorite quote that she wanted painted over the double entry doors to the bedroom. After measuring the space it was back to my studio to decide on letter styles, color, size and a little something […] […] One evening I received a call from a woman who was wanting ideas to make her kitchen feel warmer and more inviting. In our meeting the following week we decided that adding accents in strategic areas would solve her problem. Her kitchen was neutral except for wallpaper up to the chairrail level beside the table. She was […] […] Continuing “My Mural Voyage . . .” Next door I am greeted by the designer who had called first. Uncertain as to what the outcome would be I said a little prayer and trusted the right ideas would come to me. The design of the fabric to be used in the dining room had looked a bit rigid. Then I […] […] Inside this lovely home the builder greeted us. The designer told him of the dilema. He said, “Well, since you are here let me see what you’ve got.” We walk to the kitchen and I open my portfolio and proceed to show my designs. He looked at the first three sample boards and said, “That’s […] […] |
