This past week my FABULOUS sister-in-laws came to stay with us. They came to do me and my family a HUGE service. Our humble little abode needed their talents desperately for some updating. My wonderful sister-in-law Alicyn is an AMAZING faux painter and makes masterpieces on walls. She is a professional faux painter up in Utah where she lives. To my good fortune she had some avaliability this week to come and make miracles happen on our walls. Jakes other sister, Melinda willingly offered to come and help as well and came to visit all the way from Georgia to spend these 5 days with us to contribute her talents to the HUGE task at hand. Not only was she feverishly hard at work on the walls of our master bed and bath but she also offered her talents as our family photographer ( you will see her talents soon on my homepage but also in this years christmas card ). She knows what a priceless service this is to me. With her patience, love and amazing tools she helps to ease my stress of getting an annual family photo. These wonderful women will never know how much their services brightened my spirits. Each and everytime I look at my walls I think of their selfless service to us and their christlike qualities. My home looks AMAZING ! Ofcourse with these two fabulous aunties around Brooklyn wanted to get in on the action. She was right there at our feet much of the time asking when it was her turn to paint.
Unfortunately with faux painting textures there is not a lot of opportunity for childs play so I often had her help me paint the walls of my garage/ laundry area. It already has a rustic texture and I felt that she really couldn't go wrong as long as the paint got on the walls. It was such a great week and thankfully even with my motherly duties tearing me aways from consistently contributing, these wonderful ladies were able to get 3 rooms completely finished ! I am just in awe of the change these finishes make to my home and am excited to finish up the garage so that I can move on to the organizing part ! Such a great finale to a low key summer. Thanks Alicyn and Melinda !! (I will be sure to post updated pics once the final touches are completely finished... stay tuned).
