31.8.10

So what have I been doing the last few days. I've been helping the girls in the shop next door transform the exterior of their store front. The exterior for the past several months has not reflected at all what these gals are all about.......and what they are all about is transforming furniture into beachy-cottage style little gems.
Here's before.......quite stark and uninviting.
Generally speaking it is not a very attractive building in the first place and its age is showing, it was built in the very early 1900's.
With best intentions this is the sketch I prepared for them. I had them pick the wall color, a color they consider one of their signature colors used in their furniture.
And trying to get this done between rain showers, here's where we are so far. Can't wait to get rid of that final band of mustard yellow across the top, and to begin the artwork. We'll have our neighbors upstairs paint their window sills white, hopefully tying everything together.
