Coastal vibes and bright skys! We were thrilled to hand deliver these custom paintings yesterday to our sweet client. She recently moved to Wisconsin from Florida and wanted to have a reminder of the sunshine state in her home office. Paintings are a great way to customize your walls but keep things flexible if you need to move them- do you have any ideas you want to see put on canvas?

It’s Polka Days in Pulaski!

We’re on the other side of town though…

And while we somehow picked a weekend to paint on one where there wasn’t a single ball game the whole time…

Last night we found John Kowalczyk’s mural under Friday Night Lights.

Come to Pulaski this weekend for the music, dancing, parade, and of course, the polish food. We hear the local Historical Museum is even opened back up after months of renovations.

But don’t forget a stop in Memorial Park to see the brand new village mural. If you snap a selfie, tag John with …I’m sure he’d appreciate credit for your beautiful background.

Today we wrapped up on these beautiful custom murals for our clients home! It’s now the central focal point of their main staircase and 2nd floor landing. It was definitely a favorite for us and we want to sincerely thank our client for welcoming our crew into their home and trusting John Kowalczyk to bring your vision to life. We hope it brings you years of joy & happiness in your home!

And that’s a wrap on the first wall, on to the next one tomorrow! John Kowalczyk
