This isn't a garden thing at all, but I just repainted and re-stencilled my kitchen and liked the way it turned out.

It's kind of an Art Deco look with stainless appliances (the non-fingerprint satin finish stainless). The latin over the stove says "Food, Friendship, Wine".

Please ignore the mess on the countertop - that was my painting work area.

There is a glow-in-the-dark stencil paint (how cool is THAT?) so after I was done I went back and added dots of glow paint in several spots. As soon as it dried it absolutely disappeared so you don't notice it at all with the light on. But at the end of the evening when the lights go off, I have constellations!

It looks really neat. Also, the glow in the dark effects sounds really cool.

The kitchen looks great! I really like the stencils, and I love the type style the lettering is done it.

You did good!

Solstice,
That looks really great.
May i toss a thought your way?
The "designers" at Robb & Stucky have contacts with a number of artist who will do similar work to your photo.
Have you ever considered creating a portfolio of your work, and showing it around at decorating wholesale showrooms?
If you enjoy doing such creative things, and they turn out as well as your photo's may be a great "new" carrier for you.
I know what you mean about corporate carriers. I used to work with the chairmen of the board at Revlon- many many years ago, when the company was still on the top. I was good at what i did, but The cut throat environment is not what i ever called fulfilling.
When i left, and started to work for myself, i worked longer hours, had a lot more responsibility, but i had a smile on my face all the time, and i felt great about myself .
Perhaps your stars are giving you a possible alternative to the 9-5 routine.
Wishing you all the best,
Irene
