The event was actually a "Monopoly"-themed party and I designed this bar centerpiece for the
"Waterworks Bar".
Wood Twig Shelf
This was a one-off (a gift actually) to someone with tropical-themed decor. I made it with driftwood I collected on the coast. It is serves as a hat rack and also a shelf.
Artful Gift Wrapping
Fun wrapping makes the gift that much more exciting to open! Three of these were wedding gifts I wrapped and the Nutcracker was for a contest sponsored by Scotch Tape via the Ellen Show.
For the basic wrap, just use inexpensive white craft paper on a roll.

Nutcracker Gift Wrap Video
This was actually created and entered in the contest for "World's Best Gift-Wrapper" sponsored by Scotch Tape and promoted on the Ellen Show. Not a winner, sadly, but I thought worth the smile to share the video and the artistry that went into this wrapping using all different kinds of Scotch brand tapes. The decorative papers that were used, had two-sided scotch tape to adhere it to cardboard and to the box, and Many of the features of the Nutcracker were the decorative/patterned Scotch tapes that you see at the beginning of the video. It was a fun project, none the less.
A giant beanstalk
I made this for a fairytale themed event, the bar had this bean stalk going up the middle of the tent-16' high.
Leaves constructed of foam bought at Joann Fabrics and stitched and supported with wire.
Refinished Furniture
An old sewing machine cabinet repurposed into a cabinet/end table and a thrift store coffee table find given a new shabby chic life.
Wedding Box and Signage
The raw wood box was purchased at Michael's and signs cut from thin plywood.
Trombone Lamp
With the help of a brilliant electrician and friend, we created this trombone lamp. The light dims when moving the slider. All the parts are pieces of broken things or purchased at a thrift store or were in a junk pile. I love giving things new life!
Fundraiser Decor covering Basketball hoops
These colorful giant paint cans were created for an "art-themed" school fundraiser. They needed to cover the basketball hoops in this particular area of the event.
Underwater Coral-Look Centerpieces
I used polystyrene for the bases and bought plastic plant stems from Michael's which I painted and glittered to give the feel of underwater coral.
Bathroom Mural
Bathroom Mural I painted in the powder bathroom of a home outside of Nashville, TN.

The Three Little Pigs flats I painted for a company picnic with a Fairytale theme. A relay game to finish building the houses was created by various pieces that would velcro to the surface of the houses.
Faux Country Wood Plank Stage
This faux look was painted on thin plywood to cover a temporary wenger stage.
