The Enchanted Paintbrush

07/01/2020

The final reveal!!! I just finished up this fun mural yesterday! It's the theme for a baby nursery based on Van Gogh's Starry Night. I'm really happy with how it turned out!! The brighter color scheme and defined stars added some childlike whimsy to this classic painting. Loved getting to work on this sweet project! It made me feel like a "real" artist. Hope I get to paint more murals in the future.😊

Hey everyone! I'm finally organized and ready to start selling a few custom faux finished pieces of furniture that have been waiting for new homes. Check out this beautiful antiqued crackle bubble glass cabinet! It's the perfect piece for a farmhouse look or a rustic living room. Would be a cool place to store books, movies, games, decor, etc. Head over to my Facebook Marketplace or direct message me for more details! Keep checking back as I'll have more furniture posts to come soon!!

The final reveal!!! Super stoked about how my media center turned craft cabinet ended up! The outside has been re-stained, white washed, and clear waxed for protection. I replaced the hardware as well. The inside is chalk painted with some fun colors and also clear waxed for protection. I'm still adding some final details on the inside... including custom murals and some organizational touches like pegboard and baskets. But, as that part of this process could go on forever, I decided to call it "good" and post it for y'all to see. Feels great to upcycle and get organized for more crafting!😊

I'm always looking forward to future projects. Contact me if you're interested in me redoing something for you! Also be checking out Facebook marketplace for a couple of custom pieces I'll have up for sale soon!!

Hey everyone! Phase two for my craft cabinet is coming along nicely! I'm white washing over the dark stain to create a weathered look. Can't decide how many layers I want... It's so easy to overdo a piece. Here's what I've got so far! Loving how fun this piece is to work on. Stay tuned for more!! (More and better pics to come.)

Meet the artist…
Hi, I’m Caroline Henderson. It’s nice to meet you! Before I get down to business, let me tell you a little bit about myself. My family and I call Cookeville, Tennessee home. I am married to my best friend Bennett and am a proud mama to Caedmon and Baby Henderson #2 (on the way). I enjoy exploring creativity with both art and music; I also love hiking, backpacking, camping, traveling, gardening, and playing with my dog.
I started my working career as a registered nurse. I am a TTU graduate have worked as a hospice nurse. While I still love nursing, I’ve never let go of my passion for the arts. Painting, sketching, and crafting have always been fun pastimes for me. I began learning to redo furniture and faux finish in my high school years. So, many years and seasons of life later, I am back to practicing art!
I am starting a local painting business, focused on refurbishing, repurposing, and faux finishing. I would love to redo your tired furniture, cabinets/vanities, light fixtures, or walls. If it takes paint, my enchanted paintbrush and I have you covered! We can make old things look bright and fresh again, and can make new things look aged and weathered. Please check out my Instagram and pages for a gallery of my past work and updates of current projects I’m working on. Thanks for visiting my page! Hope to hear from you soon.

Happy Sunday! Just wanted to say hello and give y'all a sneak peak on my newest project. So excited about this piece I'm redoing right now!! It's the middle section of an old media center. I'm turning it into a cabinet to store crafting stuff. I've sanded it down and restained it so the base is a bit darker. I'm hoping it'll peak through nicely as I do my next layers. I'm enjoying the process! Stay tuned for the next phase... @ Cookeville, Tennessee
