At 50" L x 19" D x 32" H, this statement piece offers generous storage while making a bold, sophisticated impact in any room. A modern heirloom, reimagined for today’s interiors.

Custom Purple Growth Ruler


Recently I was asked to make a purple growth ruler, purple is not as easy to find in the chalk/mineral paint world but seeing Pantone had purple as color of the year, Fusion Mineral Paint created it using 3 of their colors;  liberty blue, cranberry & little tea pot.





Using this recipe I mixed a batch and painted my pine board both sides. The gal wanted a stained look so I used a wet brush to apply but even with two thin coats it was just to blah so a 3rd full coat went on for a pretty base.


I hand paint all my rulers so each one is unique. The customer chooses the font style and size then I print out on my printer and trace onto the board and paint with artist brushes.


For the markings, numbers and the little girls monogram, silver was chosen. Fusion Mineral Paint's metallic silver was the perfect choice. 


And here it is complete, ready for years of height marks to record her as she grows.
Here are a few more rulers I have written posts about; Disney inspired, old school ruler look, and original hand painted.
