Make Me Mediterranean

Make Me Mediterranean!

Southwest Florida loves our Mediterranean style homes. Both the exterior and the interior of many of fine homes reflect the Mediterranean feel. As a faux painter, it’s music to my ears when a client wants their home to celebrate the sunbathed golden coast look. Absolutely! Let’s Faux!!

Be inspired by this Home Tour Embracing the Ancient Mediterranean Art of Faux:

Upon entry, the home greets you with a bar area! Nice!

Family room and hallways :

Plenty of room in the dining room to enjoy family, friends, and great food:

The Seating area and kitchen counter are where everyone gathers to chat while cooking:

The Guest Bath received a crumbling and aged faux look:

The Master Bath now has a Roman feel faux painted in tones from taupe to grey to balance the existing dark grey tile.

The Master retreat tray ceiling:

All You Need Is Love

The Beatles 1967 hit “All You Need Is Love” has been bouncing through my head, well since August 13^th when I woke to the horrifying news of the violence in Charlottesville, NC. Just when I thought my heart couldn’t be more broken, it shattered again as terrorist attacks happened in Barcelona, Cambrils, and Finland. John Lennon’s lyrics couldn’t be more appropriate than now. Hate of any kind always ultimately leads to death. I believe in my country and our ability to come together and be more united and stronger than ever. I also believe, that free citizens of every country will find strength in times of darkness and will come together and through our faith and love will be successful in battling this evil that wants to destroy us.

I have been working on a new type of art and had been planning on when to start promoting it. It’s a happy art using one of the mediums my friends and family know me most for-GLITTER. As I always say- “The world needs more GLITTER”. That’s certainly true today. So now seems the moment to show the glitter art available through the new branch of Swan Studios Inc called “Glitterazzi Boutique”. Hope these bring a smile and a twinkle to your day.

How appropriate that the first piece completed is:The Beatles- in Glitter color block. Canvas size: 24x30. Clear coat protected:

Of course, our hopes, dreams, and greatest love is given to our children. Custom Glitter Portraits can be commissioned. Contact Swan Studios Inc http://www.swanstudio.net

"BECAUSE WHEN YOU GLITTER- YOU GLISTEN"

I Corinthians 13:13 NKJV " And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. "

John 13:34 NIV “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."

Ring the Bell - It's Back to School !

Ring the Bell – It’s Back to School !

It’s that tie of year- all the kiddos are back to school! Last week Florida had its tax-free days for clothing and school supply items in preparation. As moms, dads, and teachers were prepping for the new school year. So was I. Only my preparation consisting of getting the walls ready to welcome the future Einsteins and Edisons.

Painted Mirror Lakes Elementary. Something cheerful and uplifting featuring their school mascot:

Everyone loves that “Chubby, little cubby all stuffed with fluff.” As the students leave each day they are reminded how truly amazing they are with a quote from Christopher Robin to his best friend Pooh.
