Fee-Fi-Fo- FOIL!

Yes, Foil. But not the kind you use in the kitchen. This fun foil finish (top) was custom created for Anytime Fitness in Madison, AL. They wanted a funky finish for their tanning rooms and we knew just the product. These foils come in over 10 colors to mix and match. They also look great on furniture, as seen above in gold.

Durable Wall Finish for Commercial Use

Another product Average to art specializes in was featured on ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition. This amazing product can be tinted to match your décor and durable enough for commercial settings. The picture above is in the lady’s restroom of Anytime Fitness in Madison, AL. Our client wanted a finish that will hold up to the wear and tear of everyday use and cleaning. We tinted the product with different shades of silver to match the gym’s overall industrial feel.

Backdrop vs. Centerpiece

We often ask our clients if they want their walls to be the backdrop or centerpiece of the room. Either way, wall treatments/decorative finishes/faux finishes are a simple way to add class, elegance, charm, or any feeling you are looking for. The possibilities are truly endless. Check out some of our samples on-line. http://www.averagetoart.com/samples.php

"Yes, I am Smiling" by Alissa Murnane

A little 2007 inspiration. I wrote this 10 years ago when I made a significant life change... Wishing you a great new year filled with many SMILES. Enjoy!

Yes, I am smiling

I am smiling because I want to.

I am smiling because I can.

I am smiling because I am happy.

I am smiling because I like to.

I don't have a reason right now.

I am smiling for me.

I am smiling because I choose to.

I am smiling with you.I am smiling at you.

I am smiling to feel good.

Yes, I am smiling.

New Year’s Resolution: Make Every Room Your Favorite in 2007!

Resolutions = Goals and we love goal setting. The way we like to approach goals is to visualize the desired end result, then work backwards for what you will need to do every month and/or day to achieve that goal.
Feeling inspired and comfortable in each room of your home is essential for your wellbeing. "Make every room your favorite," is not only a slogan, it is a way of life and a goal you may set for 2007. Looking at all of the “improvements” you wish to have may be overwhelming. Instead, a fantastic goal is to complete one room per month.

Simple ways to spice up your first room of choice:

1. Choose an inspiring paint color OR apply a decorative finish on your current color

2. Fall in love with a fabric and splurge on accent pillows

3.Dress up your windows with window treatments

4. Refinish your furniture
