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)
The one thing that's been tough living in the Mid-Atlantic region has been the lack of snow, which means a lack of playing in the snow, AND playing in the snow is the best thing in the world... so this decorative painter got her fill on playing in the snow. 
Michael always gets the really dirty jobs, or stuck with cleaning.
This is what it looks like for now. Just the beginning...
Me fauxing the fireplace, with an off-white glaze. We like green, but this hue is way to intense, so we thought by adding a neutral color the intensity would soften, and it did. I really should have been in bed, but things like this keep me up at night.
This picture is hard to see. I re-did the painting about the fireplace to add more color and texture in the house.
This is a better view of the painting. Oh, and that's my dress making model
Michael took the hard job and spray painted the cabinets.
I painted the 1st of many coats of paint to touch these walls. The space is so small that dark colors intrude on you, you'll see what we ended up with!
It was worth a try! I sampled a faux on the back wall!?! What was I thinking! It was late.
In the process of laying down the floor.
Bamm! This is our new kitchen floor! Notice the wall color! Looks good with the floor, but to dark!
