Ask the painting contractor chickie.

Finally done here.

Whew! That job was a pain in the ass, but I'm happy with how it turned out. I have never done so much gold trim at once....that was Ralph Lauren metallic paint from Home Despot. Normally not a fan, but I must say it was nice paint to work with and comes in a huge range of metallic colours.
Lisa did all the fancy stuff - the stenciling and marble effect...check out her site, she does some very fun work.
Other jobs finished in the last month:
The purple Oprah bathroom, same house. Also some of the exterior.
A great big great room, foyer, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Mostly a pretty taupe with white trim, except for the hall bath which was wild green.
A kitchen - blue walls and previously dark wood cabinets painted high gloss white.
Dining room/living room in a nice older house, rather staid but classy. Going back to do foyer & master.
Absolutely wild teen bedroom - fuschia on the ceiling, pink walls, & a sky-blue bathroom. Going back to do much of the rest of the house, and they have a lovely Great Dane too. :)
Another foyer. Foyers R Us.
Another foyer, how about that! And living room. That's where the nekkid guy was sunning himself and, umm, stuff, next door in full view.

Tomorrow? Staining a big-ass deck in full sun. Woo hoo.
