Painted Ladies
The scent of perfume, Havana cigars and burning cherry wood wafts through the air,
and the sound of laughter and merriment is distant.
This cavern glows with an irridecence likened to an underwater glow of moonlight. You stand and gaze, confused but mystified, about you.
You hear the glasses softly clinking as if in a toast to some unseen joyous occasion.
Your curiousity is peaked and you step forward.
I wish to inform you now that *giggle* you've been brought here under false pretenses.
This page contains no painted ladies or bottles of wine!
Cheap perfume and cigarette smoke perhaps,
as I sit here and bang away on the keyboard typing this page.
*giggle*
I have been known to paint anything & everything that doesn't move and here is where I will share the pictures of my 'painted ladies'.
I have had some excellent results in painting objects that normally don't get painted
and some rather humourous results thereof.
I, of course am a firm believer in the use of latex paint, only because you can immediately wash away any mistakes,
it dries quick, doesn't smell up the house forever, and clean-up is just soap & water.
With the advancement of paint technology, latex is just as good as, if not superior to oil-based paints.
This first pic is of our bathroom window. Yes, just about everyone has one of these in their shower stall,
and what do we do - hang a curtain!
I didn't like the idea of fighting not only the shower curtain but a window curtain too so........
I popped the windows out and proceeded to paint them for privacy.
This pic isn't the best but you get the general idea.
Next we have our garden shed. It was in desperate need of a face lift!
It was covered in red roofing shingles and was just butt-ugly,
*lol*
Now, I've even the painted the floors in our home.
First the laundry room floor was given a faux ceramic tile look that really fooled a few people.
The side door entrance was booooooring!!
*giggle*
This paint finish has been walked on with skates, rollerblades,
muddy shoes, snowy boots and soccer cleats.
Bathroom facelift
WHOOOOOHOOOOOOOO
I remembered to take before and after shots of this paint project.
Unlike all my other previous projects where I just took the after shots.
O.K. now here's the before shots,
notice the really gross brown tiles and floor
in fact the whole bathroom looked like someone finger-painted on the walls with diarhrea:
The "during" stage was YIKES
*giggle*
'cause everything was such a stark white that ya need sunglasses to walk into the room.
Now here's the after shots
those are tulips stencilled randomly on the walls, and the floor was done with a feather-duster:
