The cool half bath

Huh. Should have taken before photos, & there aren't great. The walls were deep blue with light stained trim and a beige ceiling before, took me three days to repaint everything! Graham ceramic matte on the walls, awesome paint but $45 a gallon at my cost (60% of retail.) Yikes.
The funny thing, three years ago I painted this room deep red and just about when I was done, minds got changed and we did the blue. Now it's red again. I've painted almost the entire house over the last few years, check out the cool half bath.

I've been a painting contractor since 1979, with forays into other ventures along the way. I have painted shopping malls, Victorian mansions, new builds, striped parking lots, thousands of homes and businesses, freeway retaining walls and underpasses...pretty much anything that stands still long enough to be painted. I've run crews and been a foreman (forewoman, I guess) and taught many people the craft.

Dogmuse is recently reincarnated. In my 16 month absence, it continued to get a fair bit of traffic, according to sitemeter. Oh dear, another abandoned blog? Nope. I am 50 and live in Michigan with two Rottweilers, a Nottweiler and three accidental cats. I do agility and paint houses and write sometimes. My favourite icecream flavor is peanut butter. I can probably beat your ass at Scrabble. How's that for succinct?
