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!
OMG—Gracie in a painters hat—how appropriate!!! Love the colors—what a change it will be. I bet it’s wonderful being able to sit back and watch the progress!!! Loved it when our house was sided by someone else:)
Very Cute! 😀
Awwwwww Jan you are so wonderful!!!! Gracie sends a special smooch to you and Tom today!!! We miss you both so much!!! 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!!
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!!!
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?
An orange Gracie !! That won’t be too bad… I had a white — black Doxie once
I’m waiting for a ”real photo” of Gracie in the orange paint. Bet it happens!
Sandra, its looking good I love the soft colour of the netsuke it will contrst so beautifully with the richer colour, won’t it look great all finished!
