If tree hugging is your style you will have your hands full on this 46 acre paradise

MONTICOLA (c. 1853) is a member of a very exclusive club.

This fully-renovated pre-Civil War plantation home sits high on a hill near the southern tip of Albemarle County.

The home boasts almost 7,000 square feet, including a gourmet kitchen, master suite, formal double parlor and billiard room.

Monticola

Original details, such as the heart-pine floors, 11 working fireplaces and two sets of pocket doors, were all retained during the renovation process.

The grounds feature a pool and 6 outbuildings. Two are original: the smokehouse and a larger structure that could be converted into a studio or guest cottage.

The 102-acre parcel with long stream frontage lends itself perfectly to equestrian or vineyard use. An additional 190 acres are also available.

MONTICOLA is part of Albemarle County’s rich history--let it become part of your history too! It is now available with 102 acres for $2,995,000. (190 additional acres also available--trades considered.)

The Parade of Lights Barboursville – Four County Players In our American culture, “It’s a Wonderful Life” has become almost as familiar as Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and this year you can share that tale with your whole family by taking them to see the Four County Players adaptation of this timeless holiday classic. This is the saga of George Bailey, the Everyman from the small town of Bedford Falls, whose dreams of escape and adventure have been

crushed by family obligation and civic duty, and whose guardian angel has to descend on Christmas Eve to save him from despair and to remind him—by showing him what the world would have been like had he never been born—that his has been, after all, a wonderful life.

Performances begin on Friday, December 2 and run weekends through December 18. Admission Fee: $16 Adults, $14 Seniors & Students, $12 Children 12 & Under - All Fridays Half-Price (Half off a regular adult-price ticket). Call (540) 8325355 or visit www.fourcp.org for more information.

uman beings have always been artists.

Cave inhabitants dabbed the first murals on their walls many centuries ago. Many, many centuries. In fact, the carbon dating of cave drawings found in France puts the time back at least 30,000 years! When ancient civilizations began building walls, it wasn’t long before people began decorating them, too. Some ancient Egyptian murals survive to this day. In medieval times, murals were often religious such as Michelangelo’s revered paintings in the Sistine Chapel created in the early 1500s. In

bedroom walls, later replacing them with dancing pixies when her daughter grew older and began dancing lessons. Other people, like Dell Erwin who lives in Albemarle County, turn to a professional.

“I love original art—in almost any form,” Erwin declares as she happily shows off her home’s special enhancements. “Instead of using wallpaper, I hired a local muralist to paint a bathroom area, matching the flowers on my towels.” In addition, muralist Wendy Custer (www. wendycuster.com) painted ceiling medallions around light fixtures in the foyer and dining room as well as designs around all the light switches.

“She also did a mural under a window seat, again matching flowers in

Flowers bloom year-round beneath the window seat in Dell Erwin’s home. the flowers echo the cushions and several feeders outside attract a constant stream of feathered visitors.

Colonial America, murals were popular for enlivening the décor, but were usually something only the wealthy could afford.

Murals are still being painted on interior walls and ceilings as well as outdoor walls and even the sides of entire buildings. Today they are available in a variety of methods and media.

Murals Many Ways Murals are popular for the way they can personalize the home and there are several ways to create a mural. First, of course, is painting directly on the wall. One talented Mom painted Winnie-the-Pooh characters around her daughter’s

process. Says Custer, “I enjoy the creative experience of working with my clients from concept to completion.”

On the other hand, custom work is generally more expensive than doit-yourself projects. Still, you don’t need to be an artist to create murallike effects in your home. For example, some wallpaper is manufactured in panels, often appearing hand painted. The designs can be classic, whimsical or contemporary.

An Internet search reveals many websites with pre-fabricated murals in a variety of themes, styles, sizes and shapes. Usually digitally reproduced on vinyl, high-quality photographic paper or canvas, they are relatively easy to install. Another advantage is that they generally can be removed intact

the fabric I decorated with,” Erwin explains. “I love admiring this art that is totally unique to my house.”

“My greatest reward is in seeing the joy people receive in my creations,” says Custer who recently painted the murals for Charlottesville’s new Martha Jefferson Hospital Nursery and Chapel. She had previously created murals in the old hospital’s nursery and was tickled when a nurse said that having Custer’s artwork at the new hospital was like bringing a piece of home with them when they moved.

Working with a local artist has several advantages. You can plan your one-of-a-kind mural together and changes can be made during the

One intriguing mural application is to mount a “window” or even a door in a windowless room. This sort of mural comes in a variety of shapes, sometimes with the door or window frame seeming to open out into the scene. Some websites, such as www. windowmurals.com, offer the opportunity for you to view such a mural using one of your own photos.

Stencils are another artful way to create interest on walls. Some—such as a Colonial American scene, for instance—may cover an entire wall while others provide accents around windows and doorways, above a chair rail (or in place of one) or along the ceiling. Stencils are available at many paint and building supply stores and the Internet reveals a variety of stencils in many price ranges with themes ranging from historically accurate Pennsylvania Dutch motifs to flowers and elves. With only a little practice, most people are able to effectively apply the paints.

So when you’re ready to give your home a cosmetic boost, consider murals to deliver a new mood to your room—from the whimsical to serene to dynamic.

and repositioned should you move or decide to replace one mural with another. The variety of images is virtually endless—one site brags that it stocks 60,000 different images, but we didn’t count them. Prices range from modest to hundreds of dollars depending on the mural’s size and material.

Themes include scenes with a hand-painted appearance as well as photographs ranging from the subtle to the spectacular. It’s even possible to have your own photograph reproduced as a mural if the resolution is sufficiently high. The designers at websites offering this service will review your photo to be sure it will print clearly at the size you desire.
