I’m in the Final Stretch w/this Kitchen

February 21, 2008 //  by Paint It!

This morning when I arrived at my clients home, I could see the "deer in the headlights" expression on their faces. Although I had explained about "the ugly stage" of the walls when I left yesterday, showed them the sample board of how it will look in the end, they just did not get it. That always happens with my "newbies", bless their un-trusting little hearts.

As you may recall, this is what I left them with the previous day:

Today, I added the glazes and then went back in with a liner brush and added some detail to the grapes and vines.

Thank God for drop cloths…and the fact that I actually had one right underneath where I knocked over my container of glaze.

The homeowners now love, love their new kitchen and see the method to my madness.

They still have that "deer in the headlights look" about their fireplace though. 🙁 I will complete the finish on this tomorrow.

    Carol, the kitchen looks great. What are you going to do to the fireplace. It looks like there is metallic on paint on at this point. ……….Cathy
