I have this problem and basically not knowing how to say the word “NO” and once in a while, you wish you had said NO.  This was a project that I thought – no big deal, this will be easy to paint!  HAHAHA

My client wanted to replace her pull-down shades with a fabric she fell in love with – but, the fabric was discontinued.  So, she asked me if I could paint the shades to match the fabric that she so loved.  No problem, it’s just stripes of colors………..SO MANY STRIPES!!!

There were three shades to paint and it just seemed like it would be so easy – just mark them off and paint…….well, it was a whole lot of blue tape.

Just what was I thinking – after many days of taping painting and re-taping and painting and re-taping………I just thought this would never end!

It never fails for me – when I think it will be a quick and easy project……well, it just isn’t!!! 

Client loved them – matched fabric perfectly and looked beautiful in her home!  Never again!!!  LOL

This was a fun project that I had the opportunity to create for Pam Nelson/Owner of Spectrum Salon. Pam had been updating the entire salon with the assistance and direction of designer Kris Enzenbacher. I was brought in for the artistic touches that needed to be added here and there. This is a wonderful Salon that has been around for many years and I also get my hair cut there……

Kris provided her ideas and drawings and I went to work on putting them into place. The Salon was getting a make-over with a more contemporary feel…….and I was to create some fun large swirl designs on several walls.

I love it when designers have creative ideas and energy to work with……great fun painting!
