New Job Begins

August 1, 2011 //  by Paint It!

I started a new job last week, that I hope to finish by the end of this week. This is also a new client for me, a young family (husband, wife and 2 yr old boy) who I have never worked with before. They just bought this house, but are still living in their former house for another 2 weeks, while some work is being done in this new house.

Breakfast Typically, I have my breakfast in the car. This commute is about 40 minutes each way, but can be a little longer or shorter, depending on traffic that day.

MailI’m already loving this route for two reasons: 1) there is a drive up mailbox along the way and right next door, an ATM for my bank, so I can take care of two errands without even getting out of my car.

Better blank dr Sample drI will be doing an allover repeat pattern on these walls in this kitchen/dining area.

I’ll be using this Alloverscroll design from Royal Design Studio that you see on my sample board here. I love this pattern. In fact, I’ve used it so many times I finally had to break down and order a new set of stencils. I ordered the large pro size as well as the smaller version.

Blank canvas:lrIn this Living Room I will be doing two different finishes.

Better lr sampleThis diamond pattern will be done on the top portion of the walls. I have yet to work out the brown color, which is why you see two tones here.

Leather sampleThis leather sample shows the finish that will go inside each of the panels.

Kit ceilingLastly, I will be doing a little something on the ceiling above the island where these two pendants hang.
