I cannot wait until weddings get back up & rolling, but in the meantime - beautiful baby showers will work! Shout out to Jenny & the team for creating a special setting for Makenzie & Scott’s baby shower (she made those flowers by hand 🤯). Check out their page and venue in historic Knightdale if you haven’t had a chance. Look forward to many, many more projects here.

Had to take advantage of the beautiful weather this weekend! Beebs requested a hopscotch of her new favorite show - StoryBots! (Charlie enjoyed it too 😂 ) Rain canceled so many pieces in February but March is looking up! Stay tuned and let me know if I can make your outside time a little more enjoyable.

🌊 When my friends asked me to do an accent wall for their son’s room - I was like “oh sure, I’ll knock that out - no problem!” 9+ hours over 2 days later, I was ready to never visit the ocean again. 😂 In the end, couldn’t be happier with this labor of love piece. Can’t wait to see the finished nursery but was too anxious to share. Hang ten 🏄🏽‍♂️

It’s a me, Mario! Hard pressed to find a more iconic character from the Nintendo realm. Was excited to do my first Mario this week for Bradley’s birthday surprise. Who is/was your go-to Mario Kart player? Hint: there is only one right answer and it’s Toad. Don’t @ me. 🍄

Finished logo for the talented , who is slated to open their brick and mortar location in the upcoming weeks! Do yourself a favor and check out the charcuterie masterpieces Courtney curates. Also, check out her post about our former friendly rivalry 😂 From one artist to another, it was an honor to get the nod to hand paint her logo. Looking forward to her continued success with her new location and also eating my weight in meat & cheese! 🧀 🥩🫒

New year, new followers, (thanks ) new goals. Allow me to reintroduce myself (Jay Z voice): I am Austin Bagwell, artist & owner of AB Chalk + Designs. Originally born in Asheville, my family moved to Gastonia where I was raised until moved to Raleigh, where I attended and graduated from NC State University. Go Pack! I am husband to and father to Olivia & Charlie. I am the youngest of 5 talented siblings, one of which who runs the cookie scene here in Raleigh, . I am a Realtor with , so get at me if you know anyone wanting to sell or buy 👍🏼. I make shoe contact before I make eye contact, as anyone who knows me knows I love sneakers. I hate even numbers, so much so that I’ll set the tv volume to an odd number even if it’s too quiet or too loud. If I could do something every day it would be golf. I am a huge Carolina Panthers fan, along with the Canes, Pack, & Arsenal. Thanks for following along and I promise to be better about posting more in 2021!

Check out my stories to see how the business was basically started by accident at my wife & I’s wedding at The Stockroom in 2013 😂

This , head out to Fairview Garden Center and get decked out for the holidays! They have the best Christmas trees around, beautiful handmade wreaths, and pretty much everything else that you could imagine. Not to mention some cool coloring page chalk drawings. 😉 It’s the best garden center around with even better people.
