Lucky me...

I am very lucky it seems...

in all my years (and it's been quite a few)

I've had mostly wonderful jobs and clients to go right along with them.

It's been a very, very rare case when I had a client I didn't like!

This week was a fine example!

I met my client in her La Jolla home

(names are withheld to protect the innocent)

and painted the master bathroom pocket door 

for her last August...
in her room with a view!

I painted the pocket door with the water closet
WC
and crescent outhouse moon added for fun!

This adjacent cabinet (on left) needed a readjustment in color...
so the old faux was painted out and repainted in reverse wood grained colors
to match cabinets on the other side of the room.

So...

I painted the base color, taped off the design , and got to work...

lots of tape...

layer upon layer of wood stains.

Five layers later + 2 rolls of blue tape...

this is what we got!

Old cabinet faux on left with new improved wood grain on right.

Large oiled bronze cabinet door handles and a few decorative details still to come...

though of course my client and I love the WC and crescent moon the most!

You gotta have fun and a good sense of humor...

and my client does...

Lucky me!

Enjoy!
