DANSKO LOVE | Walk About Shoes

Here we have it! Where do I begin? Most who know me, knows my obsession with shoes, exspecially DANSKOS! It all started when I got distracted on the way to a client's house, and had to stop at Walk About Shoes in Westminster, Maryland, to see what they had to offer. I ended up with an amazing pair of Merrell sport/dress shoes, and a chance to paint at the store!

I ended up painting a landscape around the top 1/2 of the store. I then added in Danskos that have wings. I have to say this is the first time I made an object fly! I also have some Danskos with trees growing out of them. I figured if I'm going to be out there, I have to go all the way!

If I've done painting for you before, you may have noticed my 2 pairs of Danskos that I paint in . . . and they might be changing! I got inspired while at the store, and I figure that they are covered in paint anyways, why not make them look like they're suppose to be painted! I paint murals on the walls, why not shoes! I walk around in the faux leopard print Danskos, so what's the difference?

If you would like wonderful shoes, contact Walk About Shoes . . . walkaboutshoes@aol.com, attention Marty... he can order any shoe you want, and ship them to you! (Merrell, Dansko, SAS, Naot, Born, New Balance, Spenco, Earth...and more)

Leather Faux

Here is a picture of 1/2 of a wall that I fauxed. I wanted to show how you can handle color and texture in an open floor plan. It is a wonderful leather look, which matchs the sofa which is in the sitting room, not show in the picture. I'm always disapointed in how faux finishes photograph. Hopefully you can make out the Faux, it's stunning in person!

Lake Front Stairway

Secret Garden Walkway

What a wonderful treat for your overnight guests! We thought painting the room a solid color would be a bit to boring and we knew that it needed something special. So I painted the walkway around the room, and a picket fence for the headboard! you're guests might never leave, sleeping in this room!
