Well, the interior season has kicked into full gear, and this year it only took 4 jobs to come across the first "nut". While the customer was actually quite pleasant, and the job went rather smoothly (ie. profitable!), she did have what we might want to call.......odd taste in colour. Here are some "after pictures....... (never mind the touchup tags on the walls though...quality first!)
The woman had a number of children, one of which was shall we say "rather high-strung"..this is her bedroom.....she picked the colours........the child will never sleep.......ever again!
I shouldn't be complaining though. Job after job, we paint "normal" colours like taupes, and tans, and beiges etc. And while they all look very nice and contemporary and modern. It is kinda cool to do some fun stuff like hot pink and lime, and as you can see in the next pic, blood red dining rooms and powder rooms.....(ps - Carina, my powder rooms only take me 40 mins to do!! :-) )

Ha, Scott! We should have an international painting race LOL. That is very, very nice, lovely colour.
I hope this comment appears - I've left other comments on your blog that never showed up...?
Oh PS, that was a woolly-roller finish in the bedroom, done with the double roller thingie, two colors + glaze.
Most of the faux finishes on my jobs are done by my friend Lisa who does beautiful work. My repertoire is fairly limited compared to hers! She does murals and decorative and marble, leather, stone...I don't do those, I probably could but just refer her because she does it so well.
I did that one though, it's an easy finish to do and always comes out really nice.
