5-Day Art Challenge - DAY 4

Hello Everyone! Today is DAY 4 of the 5-Day Facebook Art Challenge. (But, why let Facebook have all of the fun? That's why I'm posting it here too!) A warm thank you to Debbie Lamey Macdonald, a Nova Scotia artist, for nominating me.

Today, my artwork post is all about transformations. In addition to painting, illustrating, and photography, I am also a decorative painter transforming old cabinetry and furniture to new again.  You can read an article that appeared in The Patriot News this past Fall, here: http://www.pennlive.com/living/index.ssf/2014/09/a_hummelstown_womans_home_is_h.html

So, the decorative painting projects I’m sharing are:
A Kitchen: transformed from stained cabinetry and grey tile floor TO a beautifully distressed white cabinetry and terra cotta floor. Yes, the floor was painted, too! I can’t say enough about the quality and adherence of Caromal Colours paints. But, please ask me about ‘em!

A Bathroom: transformed from blah, sponged, 80’s blue to a Zen masterpiece using Pure Earth Paints.


A Sideboard: Transformed from a primitive brick red to a gorgeous French Country cream with gilded highlights.

Find out more about decorative painting transformations on this page on my website: http://www.cherylkugler.com/interiors-and-furniture.html

Today I am nominating Evelyn McCorristin Peters to participate in the challenge. A talented fine artist dedicated to the humane treatment and placement of boxers!

"Yucky"ness to Rockin' Beachy Blue Kitchen Cabinets

These finishes ROCK!!!
(have I told you lately how much I love using decorative finishes by Caromal Colours?!)
 
Today, I reinstalled these beautiful babies for a client. 
 
A breath of life is poured back into this crazily outdated kitchen by decoratively finishing them with the soft, pale blue of Versailles. And, it gave my client the fresh, cozy coastal feel she was looking to achieve. 

 
 
Want to see them before? Well, here they are in all of their "yucky"ness...



 
The kitchen didn't need to be ripped out, nor did the cabinet doors and faces need to be sanded and stripped down to bare surfaces (forget that stinky mess!). The best part -- the client didn't need to buy a brand new kitchen!

We can bring your kitchen back to life. So, when do you want to get started? Let's talk!

Furniture Photo Shoot in the Garden


The "pink snow" falling from last week's blooming crab apples provided the perfect backdrop to photograph my latest decorative painting project: a fabulously French side board. (previously red). The Creative Director showed up to make sure the shoot was going according to plan... 
 




The Creative Director arrives.
