Awww, forget it...

I just don't think the Tuscan walls are going to happen for me.
For the following reasons:
1. The dude at Home Depot didn't give me the right paint.
2. After the base coat, the plaster coat, and the HIDEOUS gold coat I was sick and tired of painting.
3. The HIDEOUS gold coat of paint was a mistake by Home Depot. It was to be a one part metallic paint to 4 parts plaster mix.
4. My walls then looked like an homage to very bad 70s films.
5. I fell off the ladder too many times as it slid down the wall.
6. The last ride on the ladder pushed me and my piano into the wall.
7. There is now a fairly large dent in the wall due to the ladder ride into the piano.
8. I have too many bruises on the back of my legs from the aforementioned ladder.
9. I actually really like the brown color, and I can't take painting it again, since I painted it 4 times in 3 days.


This is the walls after hideous gold paint. This picture doesn't truly do justice to the hideousness of the paint. I can't even imagine what it would have looked like if the sun was up. I'm sure I would have burned out my retinas. Or been able to see it from the space station.

Almost Tuscan...

Going Tuscan

Started painting my front room this afternoon. This is the base coat of what will be a faux Tuscan finish. Stay tuned...
