Last night I went to the first meeting of a faux finishing class that the Community College offered as part of its continuing education catalog (also known as: classes for people who have nothing better to do in the evenings).
I had a blast. I’m so excited to go to the next class. I’m going to learn how to so colorwashes, striping, marbling, plastering (including Venetian plastering) trompe l’oil bricking and tiling, and rag rolling. I’m so excited. I can’t wait to go to Lowe’s and get all of my stuff.
I warned Dimitri that I would want to do another room once the class is done. (Remember how much fun I had redoing my guest room?) I’m thinking that I might call on Kat and Lindsey to help me with another room, maybe the guest bathroom or my book room (or the loft, or the upstairs bathrooms… hell, maybe I’ll want to do all of it)
Today was spent house hunting with my mother-in-law-to-be (found nothing we were looking for – poo.) and tutoring two children, one of whom was 30 minutes late and didn’t apologize for it-grrrrr.
W. David Faulkner, who you might remember meeting at my surprise party, is a very accomplished faux painter. Wish you could have seen his place while you were out--very Pottery Barn.
