Painted Furniture for Every Room

This television armoire was painted in the style of a stone castle. One side has a rampant lion banner, and the other a painted stained glass window. The four panels of the folding doors were painted to look like leaded windows.

The Pre-Michelangelo Sistine Ceiling...Sort Of

Before Michelangelo got hold of the Sistine Chapel ceiling it was covered with stars in a night sky.
Perhaps it didn't have a crescent moon with a smiling face, but this ceiling painting does. 

The ceiling and painting are in a front door entry.

Transforming a Room

What about a mural on one or more walls? Here a dining room goes from khaki to inspired-by-Scotland. The subject matter was chosen by the homeowner, and the colors echo other paint choices throughout the house.
And even the princess of the house, Bonnie Belle, made an appearance on the wall.
The project took about 40 hours and was painted using latex wall paint. The design was inspired by a view of Loch Ness and Castle Urquhart. Look closely and you might catch a glimpse of Nessie...
