Paint Decor Studio

Paint Decor Studio is the home of Denver mural artist Michelle Frances and, on occasion, a few of her awesomely talented friends. Michelle's art includes murals, decorative paint effects, faux finishes and decorative plasters in addition to portraits, pet portraits and custom fine art pieces. Please take a few minutes to browse this site and don't miss the archive (as there is more photos there than anywhere else). If you are using Explorer and having trouble viewing pictures go to the archive and you should be able to see images there.

Oh the stories…..

I spent a great evening with a good friend and fellow decorative painter. She decided that we could write a fairly entertaining book about all the trials, tribulations and random mishaps we have had in our careers as painters. I think they should just be blog posts….

My favorite story of her’s was the time she as working late at a client’s house (who was out of town) and the client’s cat ran through a paint tray…. down the stairs (white carpet) and across the back of the couch until it was finally cornered in the kitchen. Sometimes we have to do things that are, most assuredly, not in the job description. Bathing a cat in the kitchen sink would fall into this category (pun intended).
