Wall Monogram

I've been wanting a monogram of some sort on my wall for awhile and I finally painted one last night!

I found an inspiration letter on the Internet to use for my model.


I sketched free-hand with a pencil until I got the letter the way I wanted it. I changed the flowers to leaves on my piece. After I was satisfied with the sketch I cut the letter in with acrylic paint and then filled in the rest.


I think it turned out pretty good for a hand drawn and hand painted project!

Conference Table Repaint 6.10.22

 My office had dated, heavy, cherry office furniture. I wanted a more modern, relaxed styled office. The conference table has a great basic style so I decided to paint it to match. Before I used Zinsser cover stain to prep the wood surface. I love this cover stain because it doesn’t require any sanding! It’s an oil based primer and works fabulously! I used 2 coats using a trim roller on the large parts and a brush for the nooks and crannies. I applied 2 coats for full coverage.  I’ve used this process on my kitchen cabinets and they still look great with no chips.

Emily's Teacher Rocking Chair

This rocking chair was created as a gift for my student teacher, Emily. The rocking chair was painted with the colors of her new classroom. Emily loves owls so I painted a cute owl on the back part of the chair. Students helped me paint the rest of the chair after 2 coats of primer. I probably could've just done 1 coat of primer but went with 2! Materials from Lowes: Zinnser's 1-2-3 spray primer 3 cans Valspar Jekyll Crane Cottage Green (Green) Valspar Boysenberry Jam (Purple) Valspar Water Fountain (Blue) Valspar Swim (Aqua) Valspar clear coat Brushes various sized Plastic drop cloths
