Spattered with beauty

Long, up and down week...lots of drama, lots of sadness and lots of joy. Life in a nutshell.

Friday night painted the shop ceiling with Jay. Took so long I thought I'd fall asleep on the floor. Trying to find extra paint cuz Home Depot underestimated absorption..Evil Walmart at 10:45 p.m. with sweet Michelle. Thank you so much dear , for running around in the rain and snaow with me, And, thanks to Erik for finding an open business even if it was evil Walmart) to get the necessary paint...

Hours later,( 2:30 a.m. to be exact ) poor tired work-horse Jay finished spraying. I had a lot of trim painted and it was so good...clean and fresh, light... just that allowed me to see in my head how the rest of the shop would spring to life with the coming colors.

Sunday. Oh dear. Closed at noon to start hauling out furnituren so Jay could prep before painting walls...three hours of prep...jeezuz. Kudos to Jay for the most impressive work ethic I have seen in years. Precise, determined, perfection... flawless in execution....

Damned if he wasn't dead on regarding wall colors and the black trim. It is beautiful and makes me smile everytime I look at it. Customers love how bright and open and pretty it is. They want the art and books back yesterday tho...I'm working on it.
Can't wait to get the fabric baffles done. They will not only decrease sound pollution, they will add dimension and beauty.

I guess that if I get past the physical exhaustion, the rest is all beauty and painting perfection...

Special thx to a painter extraordinaire. One who's technique is perfection, but who also gets the fact that beauty matters; that color can make you react emotionally...that beauty saves...

Thank you.
