Celebrate Life Events with Decorative Painting!
Just like repainting, remodeling, or redesigning, adding a mural or decorative painting treatment to your home, business, or community space often signifies transition, which means change.
Change goes hand in hand with transformation, and decorative painters are here to help you celebrate your life events with creativity, and make your transitions fun, beautiful, and transformative!
by Debra Disman, Decorative Painter
Working closely with you, the decorative painter can create customized pieces, finishes and treatments that reflect the important transitions in your life, business, or career. We support your journey in a unique, way, harmonizing our work with your particular environment, needs, tastes and goals.
Twin Bundles of Joy: Life Imitates Art, Two by Two…
The advent of the birth of twin girls inspired the lettering of a quote from a beloved children’s story which wraps around the nursery walls. The story, about a French girl’s school where lines of little girls walk two by two, (rain or shine!), set the theme for the twin’s nursery, where the lettering gradates from gold to copper. The space between the picture rail and the crown molding makes a perfect background for the iridescent text.
Doing something so special and appropriate for the room and the occasion helped the Client prepare herself for the transition of motherhood- times two!
Are You Ready to Recycle, Reuse, Recreate?
A treasured piece of furniture that has seen better days can be transformed into a one of a kind accent or even focal point through the magic of decorative painting. A console table, bought second hand, and beloved by the Client, was ready for transformation after a light sanding removed its peeling paint.
Since the house was being remodeled, the entry where this piece lives was being transformed. This set the stage for imaginative reuse of the existing furniture, with the Client as creative collaborator in the process. As is often the case, one change inspires another.
Restaurant Revamp adds a Unique Touch!
When Benihana’s Restaurant in Cupertino, CA underwent a remodel, it commissioned a graphic treatment on approximately 46” by 500’ of corrugated wooden soffit that wrapped the building side and front, 80’ in the air. The players involved came from the worlds of business, construction, graphics and installation.
The imagery, colors and design of the treatment is based on Benihana’s existing brand graphics, used in its interior wall coverings. The Cupertino location is the only venue in the US where this kind of unique exterior painting treatment can be found.
Close coordination with the highly skilled team was crucial to its success. As Director of Retail Development for the participating P+R Group Reed Larsen said, “We discussed the desired effect and Debra went to town and got it done in time & it looks great”.
Update and Celebrate with Decorative Painting!
New addition to your family? New space? Recreation of your existing space, room, building, business? Time to revision that piece of furniture so that it can live up to its aesthetic and functional potential?
Remember that transition = change = transformation, and transformation is the stock and trade of the decorative painter. The next time you find yourself moving through one of those all important life transitions, consider how a change of color, texture, pattern or image could support and reflect this milestone of your life journey, and offer you something expressive, lasting and yes, even transformative, in return.
