Debbie's HGTV That's Clever Segment 1 & 2

I finally figured out how to load my HGTV video appearances onto my blog and website.

The first segment is above and the second segment is posted below. 

Hope you enjoy these paint techniques. 

More painted walls

Here is an oversized chair rail design that I came up with for a teenage girls bedroom.

The purple and green color palette was chosen from the girl's new bedding and I thought that it would be fun to pull this pattern into the room to enhance the whimsical quality of the fabric. 

The white gives a nice break from the vibrant colors and the shading in the swirls really ties the colors together.

 I used painters tape to create the white border

and then took white chalk to draw in swirling pattern around the room. 

This was another fun free-form design.

I love working in this way.

I think it gives a wall treatment more of an artistic feel.

Bathroom wall art

Here is a botanical wall painting that I created for a small bathroom. 

This was fun to work on because it was so free form and loose.
