A hallway with a view


This couple always wanted a window in their hallway. Costs were prohibitive due to all the ducts in the walls. Instead I painted them one. The view is a summer scene of what they would see if they did have a window in that very spot. As time goes on, they may have me do the other seasons, so this it on a board rather than on the wall. Change the season, change your view.

Modern lines


This house is very contemporary. The homeowner was considering faux finishes, but I suggested this clean lined design. She really loved it. The rays come to a point at the home’s main entry. They widen to draw you into the house towards the split level staircase. The photo is taken from the stairs that go down.

Garden view



I met with a mom who wanted to have something special done on her daughter’s armoire. As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to make the doors look like French doors looking out over a garden. I showed her two different designs and she liked the lake and the split rail fence in this one. The kitty “inside” the doors is their family pet.

Geometric accents


This homeowner had just finished renovating her bathroom and hired me to add the last special touch. I brought my idea sketched out. She liked it, but wanted to soften it just a little. In my original sketch the black lines were straight. The homeowner wanted to see them wavy, and wavy she went with.
