Tropical Breezes

This client wanted to be reminded of vacations in Hawaii. I carved out a tiny forest in her foyer. This tone on tone oasis was built on her peachy pink background. Of course the small space made it impossible to get a good full view shot. Hopefully, you can get the idea from the many detailed photos.

Perfect for an entryway or hall

This little cabinet said country charm to me. I painted on a petite vine and leaf pattern, then sanded it a bit. Additional layers add to the distressed look.

Everyday at the Beach

In this bathroom, the background color is called ‘weathered glass’ and that inspired the whole look for these clients. The technique is called frottage. It utilizes either newspaper or plastic wrap to create a watery effect. One potential obstacle was the gold toned ceramic tiles that were not going to be replaced. I did not want the cool tone of the paint to fight with the warm gold. I added a layer of metallic gold paint to tie in the ceramic and fixtures, and add a little sparkle to the technique. Also see the artwork I created for their skylight.

Unconventional art

Once I heard about the plans to add beach themed accessories, all I could think about was sea glass and that beautiful skylight! I described my idea and they said ‘go for it’. Here is the result and of course photos do not do it justice. The light flows through the glass and casts shadows of the plants and shells. It is the perfect focal point hanging over their tub. Pull out the bubble bath and champagne!
