“UM NO.”

^^An exact quote from my daughter as I tried to show her some ideas I had for her updated big girl room. To be fair, she’s sharing with her sister, but it’s still going to be a *GIRL* room, and my ideas? She was not here for it.

Even so, I loved listening to her ideas and moving and changing my own to make it HER space (their space, really).

Designing my daughter’s room was an experience that brought so much joy and fulfillment. I aimed to create a space that was not just visually appealing but also deeply personal and representative of her character.

And what better way to do this than by incorporating her very own artwork into the room decor?

My daughter is an avid young artist, her creativity and imagination spilling onto canvases in vibrant sweeps of color and form. She has an innate ability to capture her perceptions of the world around her, transforming them into captivating works of art. So, I decided that these masterpieces deserved a place of honor in her room.

The process was both exciting and endearing. Together, we sorted through her numerous creations, each one a reflection of a particular moment or emotion in her life. We reminisced about the stories behind each piece, shared laughter, and in some cases, a few sentimental tears.

Choosing which paintings to frame was no easy task – each piece was unique and held its own charm. However, we finally managed to select a few that truly stood out. These pieces were not necessarily the most ‘perfect’ or ‘polished’, but they were the ones that best captured her spirit – full of life, color, and whimsy.

We then paired the chosen artwork with beautiful frames that complemented their style and color schemes. Arranging them on her walls, they became the room’s focal points, adding bursts of color and personality. Every painting told a story, adding layers of depth and meaning to the room.

Now, each time we step into her room, we are greeted by her artwork – a constant reminder of her creativity, her passion, and the memories associated with each piece. They have transformed her room into a gallery of her journey and growth as an artist and as a person.

This personal project was a profound reminder of how art is not just a visual pleasure but a vessel for self-expression and storytelling. Just as we’ve filled my daughter’s room with her artwork, you too can infuse your personal spaces, and even special occasions, with your unique artistic touch.

After all, it’s these personalized elements that truly turn any space or event into something uniquely yours.

This experience made me realize how we can infuse personal and artistic elements into any aspect of our lives—and that includes one of the most special days in our lives: our wedding day.

Just as we adorned my daughter’s room with her unique masterpieces, we can also add distinctive artistic elements into our wedding day. One of the most profound and personal ways to do this is through live painting.

Live painting is a beautiful fusion of art and real-time storytelling. A talented artist (me!) attends your wedding, sets up their easel, and captures the essence of the day through their own unique artistic lens. Imagine a painter, their brush delicately stroking the paper (I paint with watercolor!), encapsulating the love, joy, and celebration of your wedding day in a one-of-a-kind piece of art.

This isn’t just a keepsake; it’s a living memory, a tangible reminiscence of your special day. Every brushstroke is a moment of laughter, each color a testament to the love shared, and the finished painting a vibrant reflection of the day you said, “I do”.

Just like my daughter’s artwork that brought her personality into her room, a live painting brings your love story to life in a unique and artistic way on your wedding day. It’s not just about making the day look beautiful—it’s about making it feel uniquely yours.

So, if you’re planning your wedding and want to add a touch of personal flair, consider incorporating live painting into your celebration. It not only adds a unique entertainment element for your guests but also gives you a stunning piece of artwork that will forever remind you of your special day.

Remember, your wedding is a reflection of you and your love story. Don’t be afraid to add personal and artistic elements that resonate with you. After all, it’s these unique details that transform a beautiful wedding into an unforgettable experience.
