This school moto is approximately 18" tall and 40' long.

It is painted above three built-in display cases

that line the main hall at this elementary school.

CUB cafe'

Welcome to the Ivy Creek Cafeteria!

These murals are approximately 2.5'x4.5'

and are over the double doors at the

enterance and exit to the cafeteria.

This Ivy was added freehand to a wall that had
been previously stenciled with the school's mission statement.
It served to unify the pre-existing lettering on the
wall and add a more personal touch to the crisp text.

Ivy Creek Scroll Mural

This Helen Keller quote is the 4th quote for

Ivy Creek Elementary. The students were

so excited to read each new word as the

mural was painted over several days.

The scroll has a 3-Dimensional feel as it

seems to unroll on the wall.

This mural is approximately 5'x4' and serves

to brighten the 3rd floor stairwell.

The writing on the wall...

No stencils...The text is hand lettered on the wall.

This text wraps throughout a stairwell landing

and is visible from multiple vantage points.

The color chosen is simply a shade darker than the

existing wall color and makes the quote unobtrusive

and very subtle in the neutral environment.

Painted Signs

Girl's Bedroom

This girl's room is surrounded by alternating

stripes of yellow, green, pink, and cranberry.

The cranberry stripes even have white polka dots!

These are floor to ceiling, approximately 14' tall!

The window treatment and canopy valance

echo the cheerful color scheme.

Metal pots with flat backs in colors of

yellow, green, and white fill the wall over

window up to the vaulted ceiling. They

are filled with varying clusters of silk flowers.

An inexpensive recycled chandelier takes

on a new look when wrapped with a string

of iridescent pearl beads and adorned with

individually covered lamp shades!

The result is a fairytale lamp for a princess!

These lampshades are adorned with

beads, small flowers, and bows!

Boy's Skateboard Room Design

This room is red, blue, and khaki. It sports

a skateboard theme and utilizes them

throughout the room. There are

exciting things to see from

floor to the 14' ceilings!

Skateboards cut in half are mounted

around the room and appear to be

busting through the walls!

Skateboards in silhouette are painted

high and low around the entire room!

Skateboards are fashioned as floating shelves

and sheet metal adorns the valance

to add to the industrial look.

Skateboard truck parts are mounted

on the wall to serve as hanging hooks!

Boy's Car Room Design

Industrial shelving with labeled "tool" bins hold

books and steel garbage cans hold toys. The bright

orange wall is accent with "grease stained" areas,

and features hubcaps reaching to it's 14' peak!

The room was inspired by the blue and

orange miniature gas pump seen here atop

the dresser. The addition of street signs

and a caution light add to the car theme!

The orange and blue are repeated in the

comforter used on the steel loft bed.

Note the fan which was sprayed

silver and the flames painted on the blades.

The orange is echoed in the "road" across the vaulted

ceiling. It is then accented with more license plates

to match the dresser top! Finally, some out-grown

denim shorts are hung from a simple rod to

form some casual window dressing!
