Growing Corn

This week I had the privilege 

of working on an interesting paint job.

The house had been owned by a local 

family that decided to rebuild.

Instead of demolishing their 

previous farmhouse, 

they sold it to a nice couple 

just starting out.

The house was moved over 40 miles 

in just a matter of hours.

Amazingly it survived 

the relocation with just a few cracks

in the drywall.

Included in the damage was

a beautiful mural of a cornfield

painted by a local artist in 2000, 

whom had since relocated.

The new family decided to 

keep the mural in the 

nursery for their upcoming

baby girl.

Being Pioneer Seed 

loyalists,

they had the corn grow up

in front of the  

Garst sign and 

around the corner.

After:

On an another wall 

the family chose lime green

to match the nursery bedding

We added some butterfly details.

I had a wonderful time getting 

to know this mamma-to-be,

and wish her and her 

growing family the 

best in their new home.
