Painted Pay Phone
Even before I Painted it red, I was already in love with this Pay Phone. I have secretly wanted one ever since I was a kid and saw an episode of the Brady Bunch in which Mike Brady had a working pay phone installed in the house in order to curb those darn Brady kids from […]
Too Cool For School Lockers
These Too Cool For School Lockers may be super cute now, but when I first got my hands on them, they were a hot mess. See how I whipped them back into shape and gave them a fun, multi-colored paint job in this Murals by Marcy video tutorial. In case you’re wondering, I used Valspar […]
World Map on Canvas
How do you fill a giant blank wall? That’s a dilemma for lots of folks living in larger homes. But it lead to a really cool project for me, when I was asked to paint a giant World Map on Canvas. In order to make it substantial enough to fill at least 8′ X 4′, […]
Paint Concrete Floors (Train-Themed Murals – Part 5)
We’re staying on track with more Train-Themed Murals, and I mean that quite literally. In this blog, I’ll show you how to Paint Concrete Floors.

I Think I Can, I Think I Can (Train Murals – Part 3)
“I Think I Can, I Think I Can” pretty much sums up how I was feeling as I continued to pick up steam…and inspiration, for more train murals. At this point, I had just finished painting a train station in the entry way of the Kid’s Ministry area at my church, when someone handed me […]
Train Station (Train Murals – Part 2)
To me, it just screamed “Train Station.” As I toured the church building for the first time, still under construction, I knew immediately what I could do. They had already asked me to paint a train in the Kid’s Ministry area and call it “The Grace Express,” but the thing that first struck me was […]
I’ve Been Workin’ on the Railroad (Train Murals – Part 1)
This video takes you on a tour of a church’s kid’s ministry center that was transformed with train-themed murals. It’s all aboard the Grace Express as locomotives are painted in every classroom, and railroad tracks are painted on concrete floors.
