Memorial Wall Mural - Janesville, Wisconsin - Fire Department

I recently painted this Memorial Wall Mural & Custom Stencil at the beautiful new Fire House in Janesville, Wisconsin. The Chief, Randy Banker, wanted to feature the photos of their 4 fallen fire fighters, along with an inspirational quote, for their brave firefighters (next to fire pole) so it would be seen the firefighters every day.

It was an honor to be able to do this!

"Thank you for sharing the gift of your talents with the Janesville Fire Department. The memoriam wall ........ turned out fantastic!"

Decorative Painting Idea For Your 2-Story Foyer & Adjacent Dining Room

Both the dining room and foyer, below, were given life - with a bit of metallic bronze/black paint and some creativity! I stenciled the dining room (which is directly adjacent to foyer) with a large 'damask' style stencil - matching light fixtures. Then, above the door in the foyer, I hand painted the word HOME - adding scrolls - with same metallic paint. 

Damask Stenciled Kitchen - Elmhurst, IL

 

I stenciled this large kitchen, using the 'Anna' Damask design from Cutting Edge Stencils. By using soft (non-opaque) stenciling technique - with a 'blue on blue' color palette - the kitchen has a 'vintage' feel.

This large Damask stencil design was the perfect decorating solution for this newly remodeled kitchen in older Elmhurst home. However - it was not easy - or fast!  It took me 4 full days but was well worth the effort.
