A few months ago I launched a designer series of stencils. I have found that stenciling is one of my new favorite things to design with! What’s so fun about it is that you can stencil just about anything from fabric, walls, furniture, place-mats, lampshades and even create a new look for your kitchen backsplash! Below is a pic that just might inspire you to redecorate your kitchen in less than an hour!
For more information and some great how-to videos on stenciling visit http://www.cuttingedgestencils.com/kathy-peterson-inspired.html

Flashback! Here’s a design I did for Plaid Enterprise’s a few years back for The Christopher Lowell Show. This was a fun project and timely so I thought I’d bring it back to life. I used Plaid stencils and paint but put a spin on it making it look hand painted.
The technique is pretty easy—first stencil white for the background then stencil over with color….add some outlines in black and there you have it!

So many of you know that I adore anything that exudes COLOR. So upon my return trip from the quaint but lovely village of Pittsford, NY this past week. I snapped this colorful window box. What a great accessory to “colorize” outdoor living! Enjoy…Kathy Peterson Inspired

Yesterday was so much fun. I was interviewed on the radio show Project Improvement and got to talk about my new outdoor furniture line. 
P.S.
The show host, John, just happened to be a Tennessee boy–from Nashville and I grew up in Chattanooga.
Every day is a good day!

Design My Adirondack blog hop is LIVE!
Today’s post can be seen at Pat Sloan’s blog
Pat usually paints with fabrics making beautiful quilts for her books, etc—but this time she “painted” a quilt pattern much like a quilt block on a barn for her adirondack! Plus she shared the whole process of how she acheived her design! Way to go Pat! Now all we need is a cowboy to go with that chair! Yeehaw!
P.S. Please be sure to visit the hop each Tuesday! You can check the schedule on the previous post.
