“Hey, sometime when your crew has some down time, I would love to get them to paint the dining room”
My son, HHjr, owns a residential remodeling company, specializing in tile installations, but his guys are fabulous at everything, including painting
Sometimes when their schedule gets messed up, due to weather or tile deliveries, he sends them over to our house to do various things that need doing…quite a perk!
“What color?” he asked
“Black” I said
“BLACK??” he questioned
“Yes, black. Just the wall below the chair rail”

“Hey mom, my guys are going to paint the dining room tomorrow and install that new cooktop you’ve been wanting”
😳
“Okaaaayyyyy,” I said, thinking Yikes! 22 people are coming for Christmas Eve brunch in 4 days
The dining room was sort of a hot mess anyway, the centerpiece was done, but I hadn’t set the table yet
But the thought of emptying the china cabinet was the stuff of nightmares
Crystal stemware, fine china, silver…
😱
“I might be able to just slide it out away from the wall” HHjr said
😵
He is a very strong guy 💪🏼
Of course when the black was finished the creamy tan walls looked awful
“I think we should paint the walls too Mom,” he said
Ah, the artist in him emerges…
“That would be wonderful!”
at this point I was all in
The trim work in this room is so pretty but it had never been showcased properly
and the electrical outlets were an eyesore
With black socket covers they disappeared!
Ahhh, the magic of paint!
Now this wall is screaming for a big painting
I would love to do a large black and white modern abstract
or I could hang Summer Burst in here
What do you think?
I am crazy about the way it turned out, and it actually makes the room look and feel so much bigger!!
And of course, now I want to paint the whole house…

“Hey Mom, my job got cancelled for tomorrow so we’re going to paint the kitchen,” HHjr texted, “Look over those color samples I gave you awhile back and let me know what color”
😳
Yikes, I’m 300 miles away!
Stay tuned…
Thanks for stopping by~
