Trashy 1/2 Bath

Now, if you haven't been able to tell I like bright colors and to take risks. After I took a big risk painting my 1/2 bath Black, I had a fellow mother say she always think as black as Juvenille and Trashy. So, here is my "Trashy" Half Bath. I like getting a reaction out of people. So, I am proud to be "trashy"






So Trashy or not Trashy, that is the question?

American Boy

This is my son's room at his father's house. And took about 20 hours to complete. I did not paint the "American Boy" it is lettering from a company called "Uppercase Living"

Little Leanne

Leanne is my niece and I did this room for her. It started out being one shade of pink with white alternating thing stripes for texture but it ended up looking like glue so I added a metallic pink on top of the white stripes to keep the texture but to get rid of the glue look. Painting and design sometimes is hit and miss. Ideas don't always come out like you expect but the good thing about paint is that it can be painted over for a whole new look.



This is my niece and you can see behind her the textured lines.

Zroom Zroom

This is one of the first ideas I came up with and I finally got to create it not long ago for my son.

American Hero

I painted this for my personal American Hero. I love you Mittens.



This project only took about 5 hours.

Fire House Pizza

These are two murals I did for the fire house pizza located in Smyrna. They are great guys there and you should stop in to try their pizza and check out the great art they have there.






It took about 3 days to complete these projects.

My Past Work

I started the idea of this business around May of 06 after having a boss during my internship that I was not too happy with. I thought to myself that I did not want to work for someone else and would much rather be my own boss. So I started doing projects for friends and family and a few clients. I put it on the back burner while I went through personal stuff and actually found a job that I am very happy with. And haven't advertised like I should because 1 part laziness, 1 part busyness (is that a contridiction?) and 1 part because of my shyness (no one believes that I am shy)
So this is my first start... A blog to show the world (at least the internet world) my work.
Well here it is, please let me know what you think good, bad or indifferent!


Yee-HAW
This is my very first project and believe it or not it was an actual paying customer! It was a cowboy themed room. The bottom half is painted in red to look like a bandana with a real rope dividing the top half, which is a linen weave faux finish.
One wall had a mural painted (which my very first) and if I don't say so myself looked Awesome. I added details to the hat, fence, cactus and boots.
I also add white fluffy clouds to the ceiling. This job to 28 hours to complete. Enjoy!




RUBBER DUCKIE
My next prjoct was a friends Bathroom. It is pretty Self Explanitory and took 4 hours.





Bored or BoardThis next project was another paying customer, who wanted a beach inspired bathroom. This project to 17 hours.
My personal favorite is the peep-hole...

and the seagul you can see wayyyyyyy in the back of the picture near the door.


GAMER-AHOLIC
This next room I did for my younger teenage brother. He is one of those creatures that plays only video games. I painted three of the walls gray and the head board wall red. I painted what I call a "heart beat" line across the middle with a graffiti inspired tag. The heart beat line even went through the doors.
This project took between 10-12 hours to complete.




I have a very wild, bright and colorful style and have a good friend whose style matched mine. So, I was able to paint a lot of things in her first house. She helped me with my portfolio and I helped her with free labor.
NICKELODEONThis room is my nickelodeon inspired room. This was for her 3 boys, who wanted something fun and colorfull and I think I gave them just what they were looking for...at the end of the 3 blobs we ended up painting each of the boys name, so each boy got its own blob.


EASTER EGGThis next room was for her 2 girls and we called it the easter egg. The room had polka dots over various sizes all the head board wall with a larger circle and their names where the head board goes in the center. And alternating stripes on the rest of the walls.


GONE WILDIn the master bedroom I painted zebra stripes on the doors and I think it looks "WILD"

COCA COLAMy friend has everything coca cola for her kitchen and wanted something to go along with that theme. I painted alternating squares to look like tiles with grout because they couldn't afford to have real tiles. Here is a picture before the appliances and face plates were back in...
