Muhren's work speaks for itself. I knew soon as I seen the pics who had done it. He did a water color/ink of my wife smoking a cigar that is just terrific. It hangs in the man room.

Very nice room BTW.

Mike is a great guy, really likes what he does and for me, what was really important was that he sells originals, not only prints. All 3 of mine are originals.

Thanks for the compliments Tony!

The other pieces which aren't shown much in these pics are just things we picked up at Hobby Lobby, that place is AWESOME! Wasn't hard at all to find things that fit the motif.

Great looking room!!!!

After it sets for 15 minutes or so and starts to get 'tacky' you use a dowel and scrape it around to break the beads. It gives that look when it dries.

3 walls were nice and smooth and real easy to get that 'rustic' look, but the 4th wall was textured already and MUCH harder to work on. Up close you can see the scrape marks themselves, instead of just the 'Faux' pattern.

But it all worked out in the end! My wife was in Peru when I re-did that room, she had no idea I was going to do all that, so now of course she wants to re-do other rooms in the house!

Always an issue with doing something so nice the wife wants it done twice or more in this case.
