Today I began Day 1 of what will be, approximately 5 days at this new job site. This condo is my 3rd at this 55+ condo complex. The owner of this unit is a very pleasant woman who normally lives alone, but currently has one of her adult son’s staying with her. I will be doing the Powder Room, Den, Master Bath and a Hallway. This job is a nice break from the Commercial Job I still have to complete. No scaffolding, very limited finishes, mostly freehand and stenciling. The entire condo, as are all in this complex, is painted with Ben Moore’s Decorator White, flat. That alone, would be torture for me! Today, I began in the Master Bath, where I will be doing one accent wall. I just taped out and rolled on the base coat, so nothing exciting to post about. I also began work in the Powder Room. In here I did a soft pale green glaze with a little pearl metallic glaze mixed in. I am putting in a trompe l’oeil window on one wall (no real window in this room), and lining that focal point wall with an assortment of flowers at the baseboard. I just realized, as I am writing this, that the stencils I ordered for this room did not arrive today as I had hoped they would. Oh well, I will go as far as I can w/that room tomorrow and then begin the stenciling I will be doing in the Hallway. I’ll post pics tomorrow when I actually have something worth looking at to view. I can’t go any further with the Master Bath until I can get over to Arlington to get the metallic glaze I need for that wall.
