SORRY BOYS!!…Gracie beat ya to it. Orange you thrilled with her skills!

GRACIE LOVES HER ORANGE PAINT AND COULDN’T RESIST PAINTING HER OWN GRAFFITI ON THE WALL

Today was a busy day for the painting crew and Gracie too!   The guys came here early and finished sanding and patching then masked off all the windows so they could start with our trim paint.   The masking was so perfect.  Sooooooo glad I was not doing it this time around!!!!

THE WINDOWS ARE DONE BEING MASKED HERE ARE READY FOR 2 COATS OF THE “NETSUKE” TRIM COLOR

 

 

 

EVERYTHING NEEDED MASKING..THE GIRLS AND I WERE TAPED IN FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS OR SO

 

I’M SO THRILLED WITH HOW THIS OVERHANG LOOKS NOW.  THIS CREAMY OFF WHITE REALLY BRIGHTENS THINGS UP. IT WAS PREVIOUSLY SNOW WHITE

Tomorrow the real fun begins to see the color go on the house!!!! I still haven’t washed those storms yet, but have the weekend to get them finished.  I will update with more pix!

    Jackie thank you!!!! The trim color was the hardest to choose. I wanted to go with a more brilliant saffron gold like my bedroom trim but it was just too much on this smaller house. The netsuke was a warm toned color so the effect seems like it will be very uplifting and like you say a good contrast with that rich orange

    Claudia I guarantee it will happen!! She is such a busy body!!

    Mom I remember when you had the white dipped wiener dog!!! They really do love getting into the paint don’t they?

    Oh, Gracie!!! I do love you so !! In your little short life, you have started so many of my mornings with a laugh. Today is no exception. You look like me after many of my painting “projects,” but I do want one of those hats. Getting that paint off your paw isn’t going to be pretty, but after all, IT’S ORANGE!!!

The guys just got here to tape the trim so they can start the body color and I brought the laptop out to show them this blog post. They cracked up……I told them later Gracie needs to come out and meet them. Maybe I can talk them into a group shot!!
