Painting a Kitchen.......

Time is running out.......Quick Paint the Kitchen....LOL.

I'm just painting the inside so there is time for it to cure before moving day....will go back and paint outside and walls later.....the wallpaper is coming down behind me....LOL. I hope you notice I am moving my MacKenzie-Childs already.......full day of painting......Have you ever had to deal with flakeboard? Well...I am giving this shelf 3 coats of paint and flooding it with a thick high gloss latex enamel.

I'm a good painter but Oh so messy...I am covered from head to toe....you should see all the paint in my hair from bending into this cupboard. Flakeboard is not one of my favorite woods to paint on.......ARTIST TIP: Always make sure your first coat is heavy.....if not the "flake" will swell and then will have way too many bumps. I have been laughing all day......the last time I painted rooms at the Barn it seemed a lot easier......the difference a few years make......

Thank you all so much for all your thoughtful words of encouragement.....for those of you who have no idea what is going on this is my post to the JODY DESIGNS Needlepoint Group on Facebook yesterday ~

~ Happy CRAZY Exciting news.....!!!! I have "11" yes...I said "11" days to move!
I am moving the studio into a wonderful new house.....Moving day is July 12th....so I am swirling with packing....I had hoped to be able to juggle mornings for painting Jody Designs orders and then move in the afternoon.....although my dear friends......I'm wiped out...LOL..as soon as the drawing boards are moved I will open back up and continue your orders......You may still continue to order through my Etsy Shop so everything goes into the painting line up........I just will not be physically painting until after the 12th.

Thank you for your forever kindness and understanding......I am just a one woman operation here wearing many hats and juggling OH so many balls in the air....and if one drops.....well you know....LOL. I will still check in here and if you like I'll keep you up on all the goings on........Much love to you all.....I am thrilled to have a STUDIO again!!!! .....xxxx

So many of you have asked me to post pictures as I go along so I thought I would post some of the events here as I re-create a new studio.......Things may become a bit crazy although I will pop in here as often as I can.......Enjoy your 4th of July week...I will be painting...LOL and soon I will be back.......

In the Studio........

~ Jody
