Groovy Green Designs

Thinking about a green Christmas.   Less electricity, less consumerism, less traveling... What can you do differently to make the world a better place this year?   Our earth is crying out for change, but can we? Some green suggestions: Give time not things Buy local if you do buy Recycle your unused items by re-gifting Don't put up so many lights this year, it really isn't cool anymore to be so wasteful. (this one was from my wise 15 year old son, who sees his planet disintegrating) I'm not trying to kill the joy, just re imagine it so our children's children can have some joy too! PEACE, Kelly

BEFORE: Actually this is after priming, it was beat up wood originally.  It is a very nice sturdy piece. AFTER: This was a three step painting process.  After priming it got two coats of vibrant red. Introducing:  The Tree of Life: A sponge off effect with a gorgeous Aubergine gave this piece it's final paint effect. A Gustav Klimt print over the large bottom drawers made it even more unique and special.This is a unisex piece that could appeal to most any one looking for a piece with personality. A true center point for many rooms: Bedroom, entryway, guestroom, office, etc etc...                                                                     Stay Groovy!  *    Kelly

BEFORE:  I love the front of this sideboard buffet.  Look at the carved detail. It was a stunning piece before I laid my hands on it.  Pretty cool right? AFTER: Some paint, antiquing and some awesome Zen Buddah collage give it a unique look and now he resides in our local yoga studio  indyyoga.blogspot.com Thanks for your visit. Peace Kelly

BEFORE:  The large box to the left is the one that received this makeover.   AFTER: Is she a material girl?  prim and proper? lover? fighter?  A combo of complex mystery and nervous energy. Sound like any one you know? Live loud and proud!  The inside was rough and gutted.  It is now plush for your baubles. Thanks for your visit. Peace Kelly

BEFORE:   This box had good potential.  I thought it could use a bit more personality. AFTER:   A bit of color and cool pattern along with some glamour gals... This pretty glass knob finished the look. Thanks for your visit. Peace Kelly

BEFORE:  While this is actually another box before her makeover, you get the gist of how average and unexciting, uninspired and plain this piece was.  I guess I spaced out on actually taking a before shot.  I must get better at this.  I just get so obsessed with getting to work, I can't wait sometimes. AFTER: The makeover was extreme.  All sides got a groovin' new look ala' Mucha and other deco inspired Diva's The paper had a big role in giving this box some bling.  I love the pattern on each side.  It turned out rather beautiful.  What do you think?  Too Mucha?  Too little?  Just the right amount of wrong? Thanks for your visit. Peace Kelly
