Two weeks ago, I posted photos of a room that Kimberly and I had painted for 9 yr. Kelly Crook (Painting with Kimberly). The large scale, metallic silver, Baroque pattern painted on the walls is elegant in a 'hip and
edgy' sort of way. Last week I completed the project and wanted to share those photos too!
Adjoining the bedroom, is a well lit sitting area. A lovely little room that I'm sure Kelly will enjoy. At the initial consultation, I was asked to paint empty picture frames on the long wall, which is a great way to display
children's art, photos and memorabilia. Keeping the baroque design in mind, I decided the frames must be 'ornate and over the top'!
First I sketched them on the wall
and then painted on non metallic but coordinating base colors.
After they were dry, I applied a liberal coat of metallic paint to each frame. Next, I
emphasized the
faux ornamentation with darker colors, painted
faux shadows around everything
and before you know it,
you've got a wall full of fun & fancy frames!
Next up! Kelly's closet! Wonderful, by the way, with built-in desk and custom island on casters and plenty of storage.
At the far end, there is a little open area where Kelly will set up her Barbie houses. A perfect place for a mini mural!
I love the whimsical style of this project and had way too much fun painting it!
It is simple and sweet but full of little details, which are actually tiny but I took close up photos so you can see them! A pink park bench.
A leaping squirrel!
A bicycle.
A man with balloons!
A row of pink park benches.
The family's three dogs!
...chasing each other!
A birds nest!
Kelly, discovered a little additional space and declare it a 'Barbie
theatre'! So I gave her an outdoor drive-in. Which I'm pleased to say, she has actually been to a driven-in movie!
I'm so happy with the with the way this room turned out! I think it will be a lovely, transitional area, that will grow with Kelly and provide a beautiful backdrop for her story.
God's blessings to you Kelly! With your eyes on Him and your hand in His, you'll find love and peace at every twist and turn of life's journey!...and know that while I painted on the walls that surround you, I prayed for you, for your family and future happiness, for you all!
REGIONAL PLAYOFFS! 
Tonight the journey continues for the Cooper Cougars, as they travel to Aledo, Tx. to play the Denton Guyer Wildcats. Kick off is at 7:30 sharp. The two teams are evenly matched in many ways. Coach says, "It's gonna be a cat fight"! With the Cougars playing the Wildcats, it's likely to be just that!
Those you who live in the area can listen to the game on 1340 am and might be able to follow along at
