Coni B, every time this post pops up with updates, I love it even more! You ROCK! And I agree with Susan S that the one thing about paint is that it can be changed! Sherrie S, post photos of your projects as you get them done!
Susan S, I made the first big step and primed and painted a large trellis bright Red,
then I primed and painted 2 trellises bright lime green. Keep in mind that the only color I I loved is white but it is becomming boring & I am trying colors thanks to the people on hometalk. Jeanette S, I only did the color and now have to decide where to put the pretty things. Pictures will be posted soon.
Sherrie - are these the trellises you posted a long time ago w/a question about how to use them or something along those lines?? I think now that you've made the big jump to using "color" you're going to find more and more opportunities! The world is not black & white so don't be afraid of color!!
Sherrie S have you posted pictures yet???? Have I missed them?Coni BJeanette S yesI agree every timei come here, i love it more too. I think it would look good even in the winter ! Our winters, not Florida's .
SheilaG, Plum Doodles I just read your post on HOme tutor about spilling the paint, the ladder, guest bathroom.......too funny! I can just see you with this! hmmm Have you posted your oops moment here on Hometalk anywhere? We should start a thread of oops moments!
Bernice H on the trellis issue I only posted the Red one and the Purple thing. I have the 2 lime green ones done & a bunch more to do. I'm wayyyyy behind & still have the sinkhole thing to deal with. More to come very soon.
Bernice H hmm, I'm gonna have to be careful about my confessions online- they have a way of finding me! :) Having an oops thread is a good idea- you start! :D
Hey folks! Here's one! A few years ago when we were younger and more agile, we were gluing down some beautiful hardward flooring in a small area. Of course I have to be in the middle of everything! But I did not expect to glue my butt to the floor! Thats right, sat down in a wet spot and got it all over my behinny and down the back of one leg. Well, if you have ever worked with flooring glue, you know it is VERY sticky. Let's just say it was not a fun ordeal to get those shorts off! Hubby

almost got brained though...he did not HAVE TO LAUGH THAT LOUD!!! IT WAS PLAIN RUDE TO LAUGH WHEN I WAS STANDING THERE WITH TEARS IN MY EYES--it was much like pulling off tape...you know, it gets all those fine hairs that hurt just as bad as non-fine hairs!
I have the gauze curtains from Ika right now. Keeping a look out for outdoor fabric on sale. Gauze will not stand the high winds we get here off the Gulf for tong. but look so utherial Love the purple deck. Have purple trim on my home. Keeping in mind when do the backyard walkways.
Judith...people put grommets in fabric drop clothes and hang them outside! The most economical fabric for the price. You do not even have to hem them unless you want to. Can press on ribbon and use same ribbon for tiebacks! You can put them on a rod if you sew in a pocket! I have even sen where one poster painted wide navy strip at bottom and made curtains for her living room! Beautiful.
Coni B I just returned to your posting today & then looked at the colorful things I have done since your posting. Color changes ok to exciting. You are really exceptional at putting colors together. I'll just put my colors all around the yard until I learn how to put them together. I love the new look.
