Mural Painting: Here's Your Sign

Mural Painting: Here’s Your Sign

Everywhere you look there are signs. I’m not referring to fate showing you the decisions to make for your life. I mean real signs: street signs, billboards, business markers. We’d be totally lost without them. Here’ a few of the signs I’ve painted for clients so they can have their own personal markers:

Brilliant pink bougainvillea are painted onto these island home signs that bear the same name as the street:

Canvas is cut and painted for a novelty shop display window:

A High-School motto of “Success is the Only Option” is used as a theater title on this auditorium marquee:

The WICOR values guide the way for this “street sign” painted in a high-school hallway:

The Technician is on Duty in the Automotive Academy:

7 Habits of Learning keep children focused on academic success in this middle school mural:

A homeowner’s favorite places are listed on this fun beach road sign:

Faux Finishes & Mural Painting: I Just Love Your “Accent”

Faux Finishes & Mural Painting: I Just Love Your “Accent”

I’ve had the opportunity to live all across our wonderful U.S.A. and abroad in Europe. The accents vary as much as the food and each just as delightful. Of course, being an American I don’t consider myself to have an “accent”. But truth be told I do have a slight southern slide. My darling  husband is from Australia and has an accent to die for. Each person’s accent makes them unique and tells a story of who they are and where they came from. The same goes for faux finishes and murals created on home owner’s “accent” pieces in their home.

Here’s a tour of accents I’ve created for clients over the years. Each piece was painted specifically for their home’s story; each piece is as varied and delightful as each of them.

Lighting:

A basic bisque lamp receives an umber glaze:

This accent lamp went from yellow to red:

Although adorable in its original aged gold finish, this parrot is even more a center piece in full color:

Tables and Chairs

Every home needs a few accent side chairs ,rockers, and tables:

This  family heirloom high-chair is painted in a distressed cream finish and accented with ivy:

A cherished rocker and side table are faux painted in distressed greens:

This slender side table is now painted in a distressed finish and accented with our popular palm tree motif:

Specialty cabinets:

Every girl needs a place to organize her jewelry. This jewelry armoire is painted in a distressed metallic faux finish:

An adorable library style cabinet, painted in an aged-distressed faux finish, is now the perfect accent in a guest bathroom:

Mirror & Table Sets:

A guest bath now has an impressive faux-glazed mirror and vanity table:

A plain mirror is faux painted and accented with florals to match the hallway entry table:

Partitions:

Copper metallic faux finish perfectly sets the background for family photos on this room divider:

Wall art:

Relief pieces and lattice work each received a faux finish to create the perfect accent to hang on the wall :
