So sorry I didn't manage to get a post together ready for my normal Wednesday routine but we were still in a state of upheaval here at Chez Magpie. We pretty much have everything back where it belongs now and we're glad of it. We're really happy with how the painting job turned out and were surprised that the painter and his helper managed to do the entire thing in one day - two coats. That's what happens when you hire pros!
- I don't know if any of you are interested in wet felting, but perhaps THIS would be of interest.
- There's a really nice quilt-a-long for a lovely Christmas project happening and the information can be found HERE.
- If you have a bunch of t-shirts you hate to part with, perhaps THIS project will be just what you need.
- THIS and THIS are for the littles in your life that might be fans of the Bluey tv show.
Today's quote...."A fact is objective information. An opinion is a personal belief. Ignorance is a lack of facts, and stupidity is a rejection of facts in favor of opinions"
I'm glad the painting went well. This is a tenant responsibility? I had thought management did that. But it's a long time since I was a tenant.
ReplyDeleteManagement only paints when a tenant moves out - they don't otherwise. If we did manage to convince them to paint , the job wouldn't be a good one and it wouldn't be in a colour we wanted. I don't know about other apartment buildings that have other ownership but here they don't do much once you're in.
DeleteOh how true is that quote; and unfortunately, these days we find ourselves in the "stupidity" wars!!!:((((
ReplyDelete....Glad your painting got done so quickly--that's a nice bonus...hugs, Julierose
Yes, we were expecting the painting to be a two-day enterprise but with two of them painting it went much faster than we thought.
DeleteA good quote.
ReplyDeleteI liked it!
DeleteIn one day is fantastic! I'm glad y'all are pleased with the results.
ReplyDeleteYes, one day for all that painting was a pretty impressive feat we thought.
DeleteSo glad you've got the painting behind you, and that you're really happy with it!
ReplyDeleteWe're glad it's done after more than two years waffling over it!
DeleteGreat quote. I am glad that the painters finished so very quickly.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I'm glad they did too! Took us more time to get things ready for them and then put it all back than it did for the painting itself.
Deletewhen we get to the basement, I think we're going to hire decorators, as I like that your guys were able to get it done in one day.
ReplyDeleteWe certainly don't regret hiring someone and would do it again if we ever decide we need anything else painted.
DeleteI must have missed you were going to paint the interior. Indeed, it's a mess when work is on, glad they finished in one day. What color did you choose? I'm sure it looks nice.
ReplyDeleteWe chose a nice soft sage-y green which is quite different from the mid-toned taupe we had before. It certainly looks a lot brighter.
