Our Mural

A Mural Update:In June 2011, we moved to a new office location on 2nd Avenue in downtown Decatur. Having served as one of our greatest conversation pieces for almost four years, the Marilyn Monroe sticky note mural had to be taken down. The Red Sage staff will miss Marilyn and her eye-catching appeal.

Faced with blank grey walls that could not be painted, Red Sage decided to brighten up their conference room with a  brightly colored wall mural depicting Andy Warhol's painting of Marilyn Monroe. The medium we decided on for creation of this mural? Sticky notes. Over 1,878 sticky notes in eight different colors to be exact.

A lease agreement prevents us from painting the inside of our office space brighter colors than the existing neutral grey color. “We were a bit limited by not being able to paint when decorating our new office space but really wanted to create a bright and memorable space suitable for brainstorming sessions,” said company president Ellen Didier. “One of our employees found where a company in another state had created an Elvis mural out of sticky notes and thought it would be a good way to solve the decor problem in our conference room. We are all Andy Warhol fans and decided to go with one of his Marilyn Monroe paintings.”

The mural took about five hours to plan and about eight hours to complete. Originally only six colors were used but two additional shades of pink were added to better define the lips. The staff at Red Sage plans on keeping the mural maintained as sticky notes fall off. It should certainly provide a vibrant backdrop to meetings and brainstorming sessions with clients.
