Another Repair

October 10, 2011 //  by Paint It!

Lately, I’ve been getting an unusual amount of calls for Repair Work, on walls I did quite a few years ago. I also love returning to a home to see how my finishes have held up over the years. Recently a client called me to repair a Lusterstone finish in her dining room where a thermostat had been replaced, and a glaze finish in her entryway where some water damage had occurred. I did this job back in 2005 and had not been back since. When I pulled my client’s file, thankfully, I had kept meticulous notes about the finishes, but I could not recall the house or even doing this job. I thought when I got to the house, I would surely remember being there. Well… I did recognize my work, but that is all I recognized! This was a beautiful Victorian, a very unique house, so I am a bit worried about my lack of memory. I asked several of my decorative painter friends if this had ever happened to them, and was relieved to hear they all had such similar stories! Maybe it is because we have all been doing this type of work for so many years and have been in such a variety of homes. I may up the Ginkgo though. When I checked my photos, I am not finding the dining room repair, but here is the front hall:
