An africa themed office from an old guest bedroom

No solid coating with the stain, this is all hand painted one streak at a time. It took 4 days start to finish. The whole project less than 160 hours

Don't be afraid of color - but light it correctly

A very vanilla room with 80's blue carpet, we transformed into a cozy nest. Replaced the omni directional bulbs with tighter spots & directed them to the ... »
walls. Added lamps with darker shades, to keep down glare. Floor is stock from Home Depot, but we cut off the corners of the vinyl tile, on the bias, and then added small white diamonds we cut from basic white tiles. Bordered the whole room with black tiles. We also took the couch & coffee table into the center of the room (not in pic) so the furniture wouldn't all be "under house arrest" (against the wall). Ideas to make a larger, sterile room inviting and warm. Just add the right music/movie & why go anywhere else for the evening?

  I used the technique I posted above 10 years ago over formaica in ... »
  the kitchen and ceramic tile in the bath. Every 2 years I add another coat to satin poly and my countertops look beautiful. My friends and guest cannot believe they're not granite. I scrub them just like I would if they were not painted. Just don't use brillo or comet as it is abrasive. But anything else I have used with no problem once the poly cures.

hanging from the branch. This room should stay relevant for many years and is very gender neutral. My tree is now available as a decal at my website in 36 different colors so the sky is the limit as far as variations on this theme.

  you can not buy new ones then paint those darker to match the bottom of your sofa, also can use a larger lamp more modern need bigger art pieces better not to fill with small art.
