Teen Artwork: Before And After

**UPDATE FOR KELLY'S CORNER...
I have been painting wall murals and canvas art for a few years...and absolutely LOVE it! Recently, I have added painted furniture to my list of art love (see an example in the post below)! Please look on my side labels titled CHILDREN'S ART , ARTWORK, PAINTED FURNITURE! It's always wonderful to create a one of a kind piece! Comment or email me (puffy1@centurylink.net) for interest and prices!


Last month, my sweet neighbor asked me to create some artwork for her daughter's birthday (which was a few days ago...I had to wait until mother gifted daughter with the goodies). Mother and daughter had just finished redecorating...from a young girl's room to a teen zebra/hot pink room!


My neighbor found a wonderful plain white letter Z for less than a dollar, and I worked my magical paint brush. It was fun to take it from blah to ta-da! Next, was a lovely jewelry box.



Daughter had it in her room since she was little.






Here is the BEFORE.



This is without it's handles (They were soft pink rose pedals.)...I had hubs knock those babies off just seconds after receiving it. I bought new knobs. And here's the AFTER! Our neighbor, Karlee, loved her new bedroom artwork! I had so much fun creating these pieces for her!



Paint+ ribbon + a bit of creativity = divine !






And just to keep it real at our home...
This is the beginning of my grocery list.
I'm thinking that a little 7 year old must have added something! Happy Monday!
