A few posts back I was going over some options for my dining room. I couldn’t decide between wallpaper or just paint or using Metallic Plaster. After much deliberation I finally made up my mind.
Ta Da!! Metallic Plaster!

Fall Wallpaper Picks
October 11, 2010
“Wallpaper, Wallpaper! Where for art thou, Wallpaper?” — A quote from Juliet after having too much time to contemplate her naked castle walls while waiting for Romeo to show up.
I myself have lamented on the rather un-adorned state of my dining room walls and wondered what in the world to do with them. The problem lies not in the lack of choices but in the abundance. Shall I faux finish them, use metallic plaster? Shall I just paint them? Ahh…”Tempt not a desperate man” or woman!!
Art Prize Pianos: Play Me I’m Yours
September 20, 2010
I promised I would take pictures of the piano painting. I stopped by West Michigan Piano to take a few photos and meet the creative people using our paint to create their masterpieces.
Various groups were in to work on several pianos including a group from Byron Center Christian Elementary, Steelcase, Lakeside and Dutton Elementary. Thornapple Kellog had been in a few days prior to paint a couple of brilliant works of music and art.
The creativity and the paint were flying as the students took over the warehouse area and loading dock to work on their art projects. A couple of kids were playing songs on them while everyone was working. I am still amazed by how great these kids are…

Accent Wall or Feature Wall
September 7, 2010
Long, long ago in the age of beige, people were craving a little color. Because the idea of painting an entire room anything other than beige or off white was too intimidating for most, along came the Accent Wall. A section of color painted in a room was the solution– a tentative way for homeowners to dip their toes into the color pool so to speak.
Remember walking into a home and seeing a bold color kind of standing on its own looking lonely and heavy in relation to the rest of the room?
Remember the strong reds, blues and greens that covered a single wall in almost every room? What was once an unpredictable pop of color is now, well…sort of predictable.
Welcome to 2010 and the introduction of (drum roll please…) the Feature Wall.
Feature wall? Sounds like a marketing gimmick. Just a new name for an old concept. Well no, not necessarily.
Modern Masters Metallic Plaster
July 6, 2010
It has been a while since we have had a decorative paint worth getting excited about. Recently we have been training on the cool effects and techniques achievable with Modern Masters Metallic Plaster. Because decorative painting is a passion of mine I am very excited to tell you about it too.
Many of you have tried some sort of decorative paint project in the past, some with more success than others. Long gone are the days of sponge painting and rag rolling! (Thank you very much) In are the days of texture, metal effects, shimmer and depth! I know that sounds like a lot to expect from decorative products but you are truly limited only by your imagination!
