The original outlines of the plywood desk cutouts are still visible here.
While some repair work has begun, this image shows the project's starting point and the condition of the original mural.

Denae began by scraping away loose paint, filling holes with sealant, and repairing larger areas using brick grout.
She then sealed any spots that needed extra attention before applying the base coat.

Before and After of the Mail-Well text.

Restoration is well underway.
Denae’s skill in matching colors to their original vibrancy is truly invaluable.

An updated version of the original desk cutouts artwork is projected and traced directly onto the brick surface for accurate recreation.

Completed mural. Photos taken about 6 month after completion. Looking great!
