The Funshine Story

In 1999 Julie offered to paint a room in her cousin's house as a gift for her new baby. Little did she know that with that one room, she would be embarking on a whole new career. Word of mouth travelled fast and people who had seen the room asked if Julie would do theirs as well. Funshine Rooms was formed in 2000, and before she knew it she was painting everything from living rooms and bathrooms, to bedrooms and playrooms, as well as wood furniture and ceramic sinks. When Julie had her own baby, she naturally painted her room as well. From her fine arts background and her experience with children, Julie has a knack for making a room feel special.

My daughter is having "our" first grandchild so I contacted Julie about painting some flowers on the baby's wall to match her bedding. WOW! It was beyond our expectations...she is so creative...we have butterflies too! Julie is also delightful to have around... and is very neat in her work. Whoever hires her won't be disappointed.

I showed Julie the linens I had bought for my baby girl (due august 2004) and shared some thoughts I had but she did the rest. She took the flowers from the bedding and scattered them all over the walls, adding one large flower and some beautiful vines. She then added fabulous butterflies all around. The room is warm, girlie and more than I ever could have hoped for.
Thanks to Julie, you're priceless!

"We are the proud owners of a Julie Schantz Mural. We had complete faith in Julie, but we did not know that 5 years and 2 children later we would still love the room she created more than any other room in our home. My favorite feeling has been nursing my babies in the wee hours of the night and morning, and actually smiling as I looked at the adorable scene surrounding us. When it came time for our 2nd child, nobody wanted to change the room."

Wow! I love what you painted in my bathroom. The way you picked up the pattern of flowers to match my duvet cover is great. It's the perfect "pick-me-up" for a not so exciting room and it makes me smile every morning when I'm in the shower. Thank you again for sharing your talent with us.
