Rug Matches the Drapes

Muralist Kristen F. Davis

From burpies to binkies, you like it all perfectly pulled together. You even have a soft spot for mommy and me outfits (don’t worry, we won’t tell).

If your coordination craze carries into your ragamuffin’s room, call up decorative painter Kristen F. Davis.

A multifaceted muralist who specializes in painting pint-size pads, Davis custom designs for any motif, whether it’s a refined monogram or a riot of polka dots. For true details devotees, she’ll even work from a fabric swatch or quilt, putting your print or pattern on plaster.

Refreshingly affordable, Davis offers an alternative for those looking to give their kiddos’ rooms something different.

But not anything too off the wall.
