Ok....this is what caused the repaint. The top picture....I was goin for a rug look....never got to the flower part...because the more I looked at it...the more it looked like Christmas. So I painted yellow over it (when the spill occured) And then got busy again today on it. I like it a whole lot better now!!!


Here's where all these different paint jobs join up. It's on the side wall....where the roundness stops. LOL


Where the turquoise stripe is....there's gonna be a booth.

Ok the last painting I've done. Yes Spots...leopard spots!!! But most of them will be covered up by a table/booth area in that section. I've only got the upper cabinet doors left. But will wait to do those because one whole side must come down while the lower cabinets are rebuilt. I think I can rest for a while now on the painting front. Maybe get started on the couch reupholstery job. :) I'm ready for something other than painting for a while.

Ok, that is just fabulous!  Can you come paint my office in my house?  Hal would die if I put that in the rest of the house but well, my office is my kingdom.  Well, I am the subject/maid the cats are king, but I digress.  Anyway, you rock girl!!  Love it, love it, love it!!! 
But I can't help but wonder how in the world did you keep your eysight and paint those spots?  Did you have a template, or just "eyeballed" it?  I bow to the queen of painters!! woohoo!

LOL Katy.....the spots are free hand. No stencil on those. I knew it would get me seeing spots literally while painting...so I just kept my focus on one area at a time. Don't look back at the others....

But once I got the black outline done...I had to go back and paint the brown inside the spot.....good thing that didn't take long. LOL

And ya know...when I told hubby, "I think that yellow wall right there......I"m gonna paint.......leopard spots~!" He just looked at me and said, "Coooool" I so love him. He's such an easy goin fella.....and doesn't care what I do to it. Long as I'm happy he's happy. And he doesn't act like he'll have a problem staying in it once it's finished at all.

But I'm not done FREW FREW'n it up yet !!!  ;D

Started in round midnight taking the upholstry off the couch cushions last night. Got them all off...now to rip seams apart so that I can use the old as a pattern to cut out the new stuff and sew together.

Good job painting. I know the spots would be a little too much for me. Looks good though

LOL Bob....but once the booth/dinette is in place you'll see very little of the spots. So it won't be so overpowering.

Not ALLL of em....but picture a dinette/booth like in the horse trailer....with the two seats and the table. It'll cover some of em up. But I had to paint the whole wall...because we haven't gotten to the part where we build the seats and table. LOL Ok...goin back to the sewin machine....sew a lil longer before Gary gets home.
