<br />
A friend of mine was remodeling her entire old beautiful home into an amazing and fresh, new beautiful home. One of the projects for her new finished basement was to create an interesting powder room to go with the airplane theme of the bar and recreational space. Her husband was a pilot and she had fun plans for the room including a lit up airplane sign and a good sized model plane for over the bar. She wanted my help for the bathroom after she saw some inspiring wall paper that resembled the riveted metal panels of an airplane cockpit. The wallpaper was soft and "carvable," allowing for fingernail graffiti- not good. So, we came up with a design where she would paint the entire room metallic silver (ceiling too) and I would do the rest.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I painted two windows looking out over the ground, capturing the patchwork feel of the land below. I included her tiny house and other little dwellings. <br />
<br />

<br />
The instrument panel was basic, as she planned to get her hands on actual old dials and controls. I did include the attitude indicator, though, and other official looking gauges.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The tromp l'oeil bomber jacket and goggles hung on the opposite wall, ready for an immediate take off.<br />
<br />

<br />
And the faux seams and rivets that I painted ALL OVER the walls and ceiling made you feel like you were in an actual plane, not just using the potty. It made it look authentic!<br />
<br />

<br />
The bathroom is a hit and is often enjoyed by guests visiting the biggest hang out room in the house. So, don't neglect your basement bathroom, as it often gives you a chance to do something fun and unique with the decor and have personal meaning for you! <br />

Have kids? Then I know you have toys. And they are most likely scattered everywhere. You have a pile of stuffed animals in the bedroom corner. There is play food scattered around the house, not even close to the play kitchen set. And you have a no idea where to put the "dress up" clothes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of us have our kids' toys in the main part of our house, tucked behind the la-z-boy, or in the front room where guests walk past. Or maybe you have a few toys that stay in their bedroom the rare times your kids are not playing right under foot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ztGE5oKFrso/UUcLh9rejJI/AAAAAAAAA4U/Y4ftvSMG5AQ/s1600/frog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="311" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ztGE5oKFrso/UUcLh9rejJI/AAAAAAAAA4U/Y4ftvSMG5AQ/s400/frog.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bottom line is you can always use a place to store toys and why not have it be in a unique painted storage box that will look great for many years to come? Don't you remember YOUR toy box from your childhood? Mine was a greenish painted wood with a spindle back and a cushion on top. We used to ride that cushion down our stairs (whee)! The toy box is still at my parents' house, still holding our favorite old toys. So, think about what you would like to give your kids to always have and cherish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Currently, I have 4 toy boxes that are looking for a home. They are all solid wood and very durable. They will not slam shut. I can personalize then with your child's name and make them truly unique. Their style and theme will last for many years to come and they will serve perfectly as memory chests as your kids grow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">This baseball themed box is sharp and slick and your little guy will go nuts (your big guy will go nuts too). </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And for girls, I have two styles. One that is yellow with an arrangement of flowers.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And a white box covered in butterflies. Again, I can personalize! These suckers are big (36" x18"x 18") and will hold those dress up clothes nicely!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And this turtle toy box is used (I wonder whose toys it held before?) but is ready to serve. Again, it is solid wood and is painted with a charming turtle and wrap around pond scene.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

How do I know what to paint on my furniture?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pieces of furniture that I paint are meant to find a home, YOUR home, and I paint them in a way that might match your taste or decor style. A lot of the time, the pieces lend themselves to certain designs based on their lines or function. Sometimes there is a trend I want to try out. Sometimes I feel like painting a bunny or frog on something. Regardless, they all turn out unique & and serve as focal points in any room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes they become inspiration for pieces you might already have.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YNd7z9jMbHc/UFSgIKjCoVI/AAAAAAAAA1g/dQcYeoDq0T4/s1600/DSC_0560.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YNd7z9jMbHc/UFSgIKjCoVI/AAAAAAAAA1g/dQcYeoDq0T4/s400/DSC_0560.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This end table I picked up at a garage sale. Everyone can use a stand like this SOMEWHERE in their place, right? And I recently bought a copper/patina faux finish kit that I wanted to try out on something small and safe. This stand seemed to be the perfect guinea pig.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It invloved painting a layer of copper metallic paint, spraying it with the magic potion it came with & then watching the copper paint turn turquoise. Except the turquoise was a little ugly, so I blended it down with some sea foam blue paint & came up with this pretty cool faux finish. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LCLBSKPvT2Y/UFSfsC3QaOI/AAAAAAAAA08/kzMDsAj01hI/s1600/DSC_0374.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LCLBSKPvT2Y/UFSfsC3QaOI/AAAAAAAAA08/kzMDsAj01hI/s400/DSC_0374.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because I wanted to feature the finish, I didn't do a lot of decorative painting, just linear flowers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qYINbCu9Rvo/UFSfxRCHOcI/AAAAAAAAA1E/rHdlHrAeI6M/s1600/DSC_0375.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qYINbCu9Rvo/UFSfxRCHOcI/AAAAAAAAA1E/rHdlHrAeI6M/s400/DSC_0375.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I did add something else I wanted to try: a top full of text. I have been saving quotes & decided to run them all together to fill the top surface completely. Notice the touches of copper, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1nr80Fn_ZZE/UFSf9pNBKJI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/HTVZOjtwwhk/s1600/DSC_0377.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1nr80Fn_ZZE/UFSf9pNBKJI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/HTVZOjtwwhk/s400/DSC_0377.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sea glass knob was a perfect touch (purchased at Anthropologie- an AMAZING store).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qrahcq4uN8w/UFSf1-bPVWI/AAAAAAAAA1M/Ifz3lIK4-Mw/s1600/DSC_0376.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qrahcq4uN8w/UFSf1-bPVWI/AAAAAAAAA1M/Ifz3lIK4-Mw/s400/DSC_0376.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A customer saw this piece & decided it wouldn't work for her, but loved the finish and the simple painting style...and the glass knob. This gal went home, looked at her old buffet in the breakfast room & decided I better paint it for her. I'm ticked that I forgot to snap a before picture, but it was stained a dark brown with gold hardware. Not too exciting, but very functional in the space she had.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I visited her house and memorized the shade of blue she needed, while still planning to replicate the copper/turquoise faux finished from the nightstand she liked so much. I took a few pics of her rug and existing furniture & hoped for a good match once I walked out of there with her piece.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the final. She was thrilled and admittedly relieved. In her words, I "nailed it." Whew!</div>
<br />

I'm very excited about my spoons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I have painted Santa and snowman spoons, forks, and knives for several years now and always enjoy their unique expressions. </div>

I recently had the pleasure of working with a family who has a daughter with special needs. Kendall has Angelman's Syndrome and for her health and safety, she needs to be confined to her bed overnight. Because she outgrew her crib, her parents needed her to have a fun and loving place to sleep without it seeming like she was in a cage. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The family had carpenter friends who were able to build them this amazing house bed. Pretty cool, huh? It houses a twin sized bed, ventilation fan, and is equipped with all of Kendall's overnight medical needs. </div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the carpenter friends knew me, so he contacted me to come in and paint the fun, decorative stuff. I painted the stoop to look like stone and roses growing up the chimney. </div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-55j_nKXnsPs/TxQ40A3CGiI/AAAAAAAAAvI/9cXkSvyCkPg/s1600/DSC_0471.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-55j_nKXnsPs/TxQ40A3CGiI/AAAAAAAAAvI/9cXkSvyCkPg/s400/DSC_0471.jpg" width="266" /></a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> A great room theme for kids of all ages is outer space. Because this bedroom had a lot of nice furniture pieces, I had to squeeze in the space elements in the corners or upper walls. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-59kE3GGEkpc/TxQ5ESNU-ZI/AAAAAAAAAvY/ql2FvDyjA9Q/s1600/DSC_0475.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-59kE3GGEkpc/TxQ5ESNU-ZI/AAAAAAAAAvY/ql2FvDyjA9Q/s400/DSC_0475.JPG" width="400" /></a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think it worked out great, as I was able to place a large moon and astronaut in the corner and feature a Star Wars ship and planets above the dresser. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NjJZxzs9geI/TxQ48mTRB0I/AAAAAAAAAvQ/UY12wNe9x_c/s1600/DSC_0473.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NjJZxzs9geI/TxQ48mTRB0I/AAAAAAAAAvQ/UY12wNe9x_c/s400/DSC_0473.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Although the photo doesn't really show it well, I added glitter paint to the planets and splattered it around them to resemble stars. </div> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cZaSu-ZESVQ/TxQ4tPA240I/AAAAAAAAAvA/OJfEuw9zKQk/s1600/DSC_0467.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cZaSu-ZESVQ/TxQ4tPA240I/AAAAAAAAAvA/OJfEuw9zKQk/s400/DSC_0467.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">And a light saber by the door is a nice touch to tie in another Star Wars element. Thanks for looking and be inspired!</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> Creating little vignettes was the way to go in order to include the various characters. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> Because his new bed will someday be elevated, I kept the main scene with Lightning McQueen and Mater high up on the wall yet included enough scenery to fill the wall space. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> It was fun to try to capture these characters and their expressions, my favorite being Red the Firetruck. I think he turned out pretty cute! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

And adding the boy's name in smoke over the window is a great way to personalize and also add more of the red accent color with the plane.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I plan to paint a separate plaque to mount of the door saying "Open" in French or include the store's name. The paneled door made it tricky to paint clean lettering so I am going with the plaque idea. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">A classy look for any room, any decor, and any piece of furniture is black and white. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iPN7Hpk_bvk/TqStbiuGB2I/AAAAAAAAAjc/6y0prO5QMFY/s1600/173.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iPN7Hpk_bvk/TqStbiuGB2I/AAAAAAAAAjc/6y0prO5QMFY/s400/173.JPG" width="266" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Not only does the black hide the flaws of a well loved piece, it is striking and lends itself to the fun and flow of the white lines and shapes. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KLC_U1_XCZc/TqStP0FeEEI/AAAAAAAAAjU/hY2Vai5M4HQ/s1600/082.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KLC_U1_XCZc/TqStP0FeEEI/AAAAAAAAAjU/hY2Vai5M4HQ/s400/082.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Set a drawer off with a crystal knob and you are left with a piece you will love. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Look at this great closet arrangement! I love the built in dresser between the two doors. This client moved into a house where she wanted to incorporate the colors and designs of her daughters' bedding with the existing window treatment. She painted the room green and wanted to embellish the plain white closet doors. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xsPypyyrGek/TphAw985TGI/AAAAAAAAAiM/4aHnIkMvxTM/s1600/DSC_0944.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xsPypyyrGek/TphAw985TGI/AAAAAAAAAiM/4aHnIkMvxTM/s400/DSC_0944.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> Here is the bedding. Fun butterflies that will grow with the girls. Lots of greens, blues, and pink!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h0o5Lp5bCyc/TphA7MOwBvI/AAAAAAAAAic/25MOvrAI8h0/s1600/DSC_0947.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h0o5Lp5bCyc/TphA7MOwBvI/AAAAAAAAAic/25MOvrAI8h0/s400/DSC_0947.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is the window treatment. More subtle blues, purples and yellows (The green wall looks brighter here than it really is).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ihxeTUFsNgw/TphA-IYvaLI/AAAAAAAAAik/1i2ewOXjoGs/s1600/DSC_0948.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ihxeTUFsNgw/TphA-IYvaLI/AAAAAAAAAik/1i2ewOXjoGs/s400/DSC_0948.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I used the color palette from each fabric to create some fun butterflies.</div><br />

At my suggestion, the homeowner is now considering adding color to each dresser drawer. Such a simple design to make the room look great! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8PHVz7TcipI/TphBH57dABI/AAAAAAAAAi8/EFjbtFwHZsw/s1600/DSC_0951.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8PHVz7TcipI/TphBH57dABI/AAAAAAAAAi8/EFjbtFwHZsw/s400/DSC_0951.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>Corie Klinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08994976969931232084noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7028670068403314502.post-37816669630075087872011-09-20T09:47:00.000-04:002011-09-20T09:47:58.125-04:00Picasso School Mural<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CTiw8FC1QCM/TniXkb7D6MI/AAAAAAAAAh8/W6xzLqS1YJQ/s1600/centennial+mural+1051.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CTiw8FC1QCM/TniXkb7D6MI/AAAAAAAAAh8/W6xzLqS1YJQ/s400/centennial+mural+1051.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This summer, I had the opportunity to paint a wall mural at Madeira Middle School that was inspired by Pablo Picasso's famous painting entitled <u>Three Musicians</u>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Picasso was in the height of his Cubistic period and illustrated three figures using distorted shapes and flat blocks of color. The painting shows a clown playing the clarinet, a harlequin playing the guitar and a singing monk. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">My version includes references to the school, as I added a globe, book, paper and pencil, and Madeira graphics. Here is a quick video showing the mural come to life!</div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">I had a great time paying homage to Picasso while adding artistic inspiration to the walls of a school. Look for more masterpieces to be added each summer! Here is the mural I painted last year.... Van Gogh!</div><br />

I had this chance when I was invited to a baby shower where the nursery theme was Classic Pooh. Because the mother-to-be was also a tennis pro, I knew I could put a fun "spin" on her hand painted gift from me.</div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> So, consider Classic Pooh as a room theme for your little one. It's so cute!</div>Corie Klinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08994976969931232084noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7028670068403314502.post-77967193782557718372011-08-21T06:00:00.000-04:002011-08-21T06:00:01.829-04:00Tiger's Stadium Mural<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uooSKDbQ3QU/Tk3K0Bfne-I/AAAAAAAAAgM/7lJJwD0suIg/s1600/DSC_0611.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uooSKDbQ3QU/Tk3K0Bfne-I/AAAAAAAAAgM/7lJJwD0suIg/s400/DSC_0611.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">We recently took a quick trip to Indy to visit friends from college and maybe squeeze in a wall mural.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--o7QkV5sFoo/Tk3KjSfu6hI/AAAAAAAAAgE/epV_xm2DfBk/s1600/DSC_0608.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--o7QkV5sFoo/Tk3KjSfu6hI/AAAAAAAAAgE/epV_xm2DfBk/s400/DSC_0608.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Their middle child is my godson, so I was the obvious choice to paint the stadium mural they had always wanted. They are from Michigan originally, so they wanted to capture their loyalty to the Detroit Tigers. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2H9LcYraQfo/Tk3KTaYmV0I/AAAAAAAAAf8/lyc4QcbCQ-M/s1600/DSC_0606.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2H9LcYraQfo/Tk3KTaYmV0I/AAAAAAAAAf8/lyc4QcbCQ-M/s400/DSC_0606.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Because my time there was limited, we came up with this design, sort of an abbreviated version of Comerica Park and the Detroit skyline. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6uKwCPJt-OI/Tk3Kaub0BSI/AAAAAAAAAgA/Rd-XPb6RVlg/s1600/DSC_0607.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6uKwCPJt-OI/Tk3Kaub0BSI/AAAAAAAAAgA/Rd-XPb6RVlg/s400/DSC_0607.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> The homeowners had the walls already painted green, which was very helpful in laying down the field. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jl6AjFPb304/Tk3KAzhV2NI/AAAAAAAAAf0/4AcYGGR51nE/s1600/DSC_0604.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jl6AjFPb304/Tk3KAzhV2NI/AAAAAAAAAf0/4AcYGGR51nE/s400/DSC_0604.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The most fun came in the details of the scoreboard, although I didn't see the need to paint in the billboard ads. Next time we visit, I'll have to add a few more details. I was speed painting!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-agZxqfi-xpQ/Tk3Kri5tlaI/AAAAAAAAAgI/m4oAkTYiRuE/s1600/DSC_0609.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-agZxqfi-xpQ/Tk3Kri5tlaI/AAAAAAAAAgI/m4oAkTYiRuE/s400/DSC_0609.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
So, stadium murals are a great way to decorate a finished basement or boy's room and there are many ways to add personalized touches. Keep this great theme in mind for your next room update!<br />

I love painting little ponds with a "bird's eye view" and have featured them on many pieces. Including little surprises like a snail and dragonfly make the project fun and it is a suitable design for both boys and girls.<br />

There is a project in my book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mural-Magic-Painting-Scenes-Furniture/dp/1600611664/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1297461927&sr=1-1"><u>Mural Magic</u></a> that features one of these ponds on a bench. <br />

I will show you the steps from my book as well as include videos of me actually painting the frog on the table top. Here is the first video showing the base coating of the frog after he is sketched on the table with a white pencil. You can watch all of my painting videos in larger screen size on my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/coriekline">YouTube channel (coriekline</a>).<br />

<br />
You can see that it is simply a matter of loading your #10 flat brush with three colors (Apple Barrel English Ivy Green, Ceramcoat Light Foliage Green, and Ceramcoat Old Parchment). By blending the colors based on highlights and shadowing, you have a very nice base coat that defines the curves and shape of the frog. I am using both the flat part and chisel edge of the brush.<br />

<br />
Here is the second layer where deeper tones are added to give depth and highlights are added for dimension.<br />
<br />

This video clip shows how to float shadow around the frog using a liner brush and watered down black paint. I also add the details of the frog's face to make it come to life! <br />
<br />
<br />
Here are some of the steps for the entire table scene from my book that you can purchase from me (by contacting me at <a href="mailto:coriekline@mac.com">coriekline@mac.com</a>) or from any online book seller.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ob4ZKhpC9QM/TjCsvDZBJgI/AAAAAAAAAe8/wE8TBPU6liI/s1600/DSC_0447.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ob4ZKhpC9QM/TjCsvDZBJgI/AAAAAAAAAe8/wE8TBPU6liI/s320/DSC_0447.jpg" width="240" /></a></div> The background green is sponged in to give a mossy texture.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KB3sYTgIFK0/TjCs5OGJWHI/AAAAAAAAAfA/nlH0YAwIIwg/s1600/DSC_0448.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KB3sYTgIFK0/TjCs5OGJWHI/AAAAAAAAAfA/nlH0YAwIIwg/s320/DSC_0448.JPG" width="253" /></a></div> The water portion in the center is flowed on by blending dark and light blues and letting them mix during the wet application.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LQiIMTLJRcc/TjCtEoDx69I/AAAAAAAAAfE/rd8i1QDQCj4/s1600/DSC_0449.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LQiIMTLJRcc/TjCtEoDx69I/AAAAAAAAAfE/rd8i1QDQCj4/s320/DSC_0449.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The frog can also be blocked in with a solid green and save the shading for the next step. Either way, I have fallen in love with the positioning and shape of this frog and use him frequently in other projects.<br />
<br />

My daughters and their good friends have been planning to have a garage sale for an entire YEAR. They sorted through toy boxes, closets, and drawers and priced up a bunch of their toys to sell.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gBsbZWJKxzM/Te7mgBA1CoI/AAAAAAAAAeE/iy7XvqbnTYI/s1600/DSC_1026.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gBsbZWJKxzM/Te7mgBA1CoI/AAAAAAAAAeE/iy7XvqbnTYI/s400/DSC_1026.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Preparing for the sale was a lot of work for us parents, but it motivated me to get rid a bunch of stuff, too. So, we picked the same date as our citywide garage sales, made some signs, and set up shop.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y0Y-L96aV10/Te7n5bfuzKI/AAAAAAAAAeY/ESluf8FxfCA/s1600/DSC_1027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y0Y-L96aV10/Te7n5bfuzKI/AAAAAAAAAeY/ESluf8FxfCA/s400/DSC_1027.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> Look at how busy we were.... I think our dog, Brady, sleeping in the middle of the sale was a perfect comment to how it went.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gN7FS3JNLyk/Te7mpGz4ZxI/AAAAAAAAAeI/RzLOYBECocU/s1600/DSC_1031.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gN7FS3JNLyk/Te7mpGz4ZxI/AAAAAAAAAeI/RzLOYBECocU/s400/DSC_1031.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Turns out, we did sell a few larger items & furniture, but couldn't give a TV away. Well, actually, we DID give a TV away... to the neighbor kid. Everything left over got loaded up and delivered to Goodwill and the kids were pleased with a little extra cash in their pockets.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iHUyr8OCSus/Te7mNl8O28I/AAAAAAAAAd8/DYgrZ-5x2G8/s1600/DSC_1007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iHUyr8OCSus/Te7mNl8O28I/AAAAAAAAAd8/DYgrZ-5x2G8/s320/DSC_1007.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">And Brady was pretty tired from the excitement!</div><br />
I love going to garage sale and was able to find a few treasures myself. Stay tuned to see what I end up doing to these....<br />

I do not have another art show planned until October, so I am looking into options to display my work until then. But that gives me a lot of time to come up with new projects and ideas! You can find my smaller painted items in my esty shop, <a href="http://www.coriekline.etsy.com/">www.coriekline.etsy.com</a>. Thanks for looking and keep stopping back!<br />

This boy's room was given an updated look by taking his nursery theme (jungle animals) and tweaking them so they are very realistic and more importantly, include his favorites! The boy had a giraffe, hippo, lion, etc. painted by someone else on his wall for his nursery. After priming over the animals and painting the room blue, I came in and added the new look. <br />

The boy loves okapi's, so that gave me the opportunity to paint my first one! I think he looks pretty velvety.<br />

So, the next time you are considering a jungle themed room, the possibilities go beyond the typical giraffe and elephant!<br />

I have to share that our pet bunny of 6 years died last week. Pennington, our free bunny we picked up spontaneously at a garage sale (named Penny until we found out he was a boy). He was so soft and loved bananas and dandelions. We will miss you, Pennington!Corie Klinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08994976969931232084noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7028670068403314502.post-40965607258409903472011-05-03T10:34:00.000-04:002011-05-03T10:34:25.923-04:00Wyoming Art Show<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bnHVycvFnKg/TcAI6DxVkwI/AAAAAAAAAa0/n5JK2vA9fx8/s1600/DSC_0646.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bnHVycvFnKg/TcAI6DxVkwI/AAAAAAAAAa0/n5JK2vA9fx8/s400/DSC_0646.JPG" width="266" /></a></div><br />

The Wyoming Art Show is a juried show filled with high quality artists and is held along a residential street with beautiful homes. Stop out to see my work (below) and enjoy the day shopping, eating the food from local vendors, and being creative in the awesome Children's Tent. The show is Sunday, May 15, 2011 from 11am-5pm. My booth # is 102. For more information, check our their website at www.wyomingartshow.org. See you there!<br />

Here are some before and after projects! <br />

A friend of mine is adopting a baby from Ethiopia and asked me to paint the nursery. She wanted to represent the animals from the baby's homeland without being too realistic (possibly frightening) or babyish. <br />
<br />

The sophisticated silhouettes of the animals are perfect. Don't you just love the bedding? She had it custom made and it gives a taste of the African culture. <br />

I freehanded the border and it's the lyrics to "It's a Small World," perfect for the little guy who is traveling across the globe to his new, loving home. "There is just one moon and one golden sun,"<br />
<br />

I painted and blogged about another nursery very similar to this, just wanted to show you the look again!<br />

A lot of people love the look of painted furniture and may want to try a quick project of their own. I picked up this children's rocker at our church rummage sale.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nRvsfSJ5L4E/TZva1J1HvpI/AAAAAAAAAY0/1Bj0JkSq5gQ/s1600/IMG_8087.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nRvsfSJ5L4E/TZva1J1HvpI/AAAAAAAAAY0/1Bj0JkSq5gQ/s320/IMG_8087.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />
The slatted seats are not my favorite painting surface because it's hard to paint a complete image on it. But it is great for striping colors and being whimsical. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ACoHX_4DeFo/TZvbIu8KkzI/AAAAAAAAAY4/iAahS0pB6u8/s1600/IMG_8088.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ACoHX_4DeFo/TZvbIu8KkzI/AAAAAAAAAY4/iAahS0pB6u8/s320/IMG_8088.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I sanded the piece first.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YFf2wdQEOq4/TZvbTSlbF9I/AAAAAAAAAY8/JS5R4hECKAY/s1600/IMG_8090.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YFf2wdQEOq4/TZvbTSlbF9I/AAAAAAAAAY8/JS5R4hECKAY/s320/IMG_8090.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />
Then, I spray primed the entire rocker. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qkJfhK8UF8U/TZvezIdb-5I/AAAAAAAAAZ0/DJBddCAYUQ4/s1600/IMG_8091.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qkJfhK8UF8U/TZvezIdb-5I/AAAAAAAAAZ0/DJBddCAYUQ4/s320/IMG_8091.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />

Next, I base coated the rocker white and then chose my color palette. I decided to paint this rocker in girly colors. Lots of pinks and oranges!<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dHbBeKEwMB4/TZvcDorTo8I/AAAAAAAAAZQ/Mojsc4Bs7p8/s1600/IMG_8289.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dHbBeKEwMB4/TZvcDorTo8I/AAAAAAAAAZQ/Mojsc4Bs7p8/s320/IMG_8289.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The stripes and accent colors usually take a couple coats and look great against the white background. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jXhO7NsoM14/TZvfLJdaLCI/AAAAAAAAAaA/RR9Ggr7Y1pg/s1600/IMG_8293.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jXhO7NsoM14/TZvfLJdaLCI/AAAAAAAAAaA/RR9Ggr7Y1pg/s320/IMG_8293.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Adding flowers and painted designs finishes off the look. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ek778xZ4RQY/TZvdAJMSx9I/AAAAAAAAAZs/qO6-GvN16uo/s1600/IMG_8341.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ek778xZ4RQY/TZvdAJMSx9I/AAAAAAAAAZs/qO6-GvN16uo/s320/IMG_8341.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

And remember to always protect your painted furniture with a clear sealer to make your painting more durable. <br />
