Oooo oooo Oprah

A few words of wisdom from the woman who so gracefully does it all…  oprah-guest-kitchen

” Maintaining a gorgeous home or apartment is about respecting the very important person who lives in it. YOU!” – Oprah Winfrey

I love love LOVE how she had her guest house kitchen ceiling painted.  It really gives the room a very cozy and humble hug.  I have stenciled many walls in my day, but never a ceiling to date.  I can just imagine how labor intensive this project must have been.  It makes my neck ache even thinking of it.  If I were to do something like this I have a feeling that I would have to get creative in my efforts to save my neck from the pains of staring upwards for hours on end. I’d probably try to  break the project up into a few different days… or, perhaps I could stencil from scaffolding that is high enough so that I could lay down. Maybe that is just a tad too lazy for my industry.

Stenciled Stair cases Oh my!

I stumbled across this picture today and have become instantly inspired.  Firstly, It makes me desperate to rip up the yucky carpet adorning our stairs and get to stenciling.  But, alas, we are currently renting, and I question my landlords desire to have a chic set of stenciled stairs depsite her brave bold choice of  grape juice purple painted walls.

So now I am looking for a brave, bold client, who is ready to take on a whole new arena for painting.  Any takers?
