super graphics

Ken's Parents have been doing a remodel at their home. It was a pretty big undertaking for them. It took most of October and November to complete but it looks great. new windows, new carpet, new paint, new lighting, new tile. It looks Great!! Way to go Chris and Kirb!

Kirby is an architect and an artist. He has done some really interesting stuff over the years. I just love to point out his buildings and say "my Father in law designed that". His artistry carries into their home. Their artwork is awesome and each one has a story behind it. They also do super graphics on their walls. What is a super graphic?? It is an accent paint color that is a stripe or an oval or...the possibilities are endless. Theirs goes across the ceiling and a down a wall or two.

Before the remodel, they had one super graphic in the front room. It was light grey. It started in one corner of the room, went up the wall, across the ceiling the the diagonal corner and down that wall. it was pretty cool.

The new super graphic is much more detailed. They chose three different colors, Red (their favorite color), medium grey, and light grey. here they are intersecting in the middle of the ceiling.

You can see that they don't actually tough each other. They stop just inches away from the other stripe. Each super graphic highlights a painting or piece of art they have on the way. here they all are.

There are three more in the entry way. these are smaller but they continue the colors and tie it all together.



This last one has been dubbed the mike and ike. It is roughly 4 fee tall with a giant can opener inside in it. It is right over the stairs so it took some serious balancing to get just right.
I think it all looks great! Way to go Chris and Kirby!!
