Hi all, decided to remodel my kitchen. I have a slate floor going in next Wednesday... so I had to have all my painting done.
The first night my girlfriend comes over to paint with me. We open a huge bottle of red wine and grab our rollers and brushes and go to work. Everything seems to be going smooth and we continue on with more wine and more wine (oh yea, and painting). It's 01:45 am, and the work is complete for the night. We sit down for our last glass of wine (as both bottles are empty) and look at the faux finish on the one wall. It looks like a wolf to Krystal, I think it looks like a lady's head with a big furry hat holding a dove. Nothing we can do at this time. So I go to bed (after we're finished the wine)...LOL
Dave gets up in the morning and say's nice rooster on the wall. I start laughing so hard...(all that work). Now I'm thinking this could really be a conversation piece...LOL Decide to repaint the wall and re-do the suade technique... PERFECT. Could barely lift my right arm after all the techniques I did, but the best part was jumping on last night and finding a full house on Barb.
So I woke up this morning and didn't like the trim. So I re-painted the trim in a new color and am currently waiting for it to dry so I can do a smoke glaze finish.
The kitchen is a disaster, had to order out last night...LOL.

Now I need new lighting and even looked at a new stove. (Only because I am having my backsplash done in slate as well)
Stay tuned for before and after pictures.....

LOL, Gene you are correct there is always something that needs changing from a woman's perspective. I love doing interior decorating and everytime Dave would go away, he would come home to something changed. The nice part is Dave always loves my work and is very proud when people ask him what interior decorater did our home. Dave does not pay a penny for this.... I have a good job and I do all my own work.

One of my friends has twin girls, when I went to her house I was in the twins room and it looked like a boys room. Since the room was small with green carpet and dark greeen walls I told her it looked like a dungeon and I re-did the entire room including curtains, paint and border for $75.00. The girls love it, they call it the princess room.

I think I might take early retirement and start an interior decorating business. But I can't retire until I am 50 so that will be awhile. I do stained glass work as well. Dave's laughs because every piece I make someone takes or buys. I used to make stained glass inserts for cupboards (for a cabinet maker)...but with working full time, I didn't like the dead lines....If I had a 15 hour day at work, I was not in the mood to work on the project. So now I just do it for friends and family.

Maybe I could start charging Dave....hmmmm.
