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.
Front Door Makeover
One thing always seems to lead to another with me, and that was certainly the case with this Front Door Makeover. Believe it or not, it started when I decided to dust the ceiling fan in my living room. I pulled out my 8-foot ladder to reach it, and while I was up there wiping the […]
Nautical Nursery
You’ll have to pardon the pun, but it really was smooth sailing working on this Nautical Nursery. I love it when murals come together easily, and what made this job even more enjoyable was the fact I painted it for a former co-worker and his lovely wife. They’re expecting their first baby any day now, and […]
Bedroom Makeover (Part 1)
What started out as a small project, has now turned into a full-fledged Bedroom Makeover. I’m talking painting walls, painting furniture, upholstering a headboard, adding feet to a captain’s bed, and the list goes on. How did it happen? The same way all my projects do. I change one thing, and before I know it, […]
Kitchen Makeover (Part 4)
I had entirely too much fun with this Kitchen Makeover! It’s impossible not to when you love who you’re working with. These homeowners not only have a young, hip sense of style…they are some of the sweetest people I know; devoted teachers (one of them was even voted Teacher of the Year last school year!), […]
Kitchen Makeover (Part 3)
Primed and ready to go… When you last checked in on this Kitchen Makeover, the chalkboard paint was up and I was preparing the cabinets for painting. All the doors and drawers were sanded and primed, as were the cabinet fronts themselves. I loved the idea of a Robbin’s Egg blue for the cabinets, but […]
Kitchen Makeover (Part 2)
If you read my last post, you’re probably dying to find out what the homeowners decided to do for their budget friendly Kitchen Makeover. Okay… so maybe it’s really just ME who is dying with excitement. But that’s because they agreed to have their kitchen cabinets painted, and turn the entire back wall into a giant chalkboard!!! […]
