<\/a><\/p>\nIt feels so very good to be writing a new blog again- it has been a patchy affair in recent years and on this fine day in March, I am here to let you know what has kept me sooo busy…<\/p>\n
After working for so long helping people choose colors for their homes and project managing re-models, I decided I needed to take charge, get my own contractors license and run my very own House Painting company –\u00a0\u00a0rolling the color consultancy and painting into one glorious package -Green Plum Design House Painting!<\/p>\n
I have been working as a painting contractor for over a year now and know more about lead paint and sanding techniques than I will ever need to know\u2026<\/p>\n
I was the only woman in my contractors license exam and again in my lead certification course – there must be other women contractors out there but I have yet to meet them.<\/p>\n
THE most important thing is that I have an incredible crew of painters who all have years and years of experience and to whom I daily take my hat off to for their fabulous hard work, diligence and creativity. \u00a0They are all a—mazing.<\/p>\n
Here’s a little glimpse of some of the work we have done over the last year…<\/p>\n
This gorgeous house with the lovely clapboard siding took quite some sanding..<\/p>\n
but blossomed so beautifully for all the careful prep work.<\/p>\n Here’s is another beautiful home with painted shingles that came up so well…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And of course stucco – a surface I am appreciating a little more these days as it stands up so well over time…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the things that I \u00a0love about this new direction in my work is that I get to see this one week…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And a couple of weeks later\u2026a whole new place…<\/p>\n Yes, there was power washing, sanding, patching, filling, more sanding, priming, and finally painting somewhere in the middle but what a beautiful transformation to witness in a fortnight.<\/p>\n And for me, all the little details…<\/p>\n and final touches…<\/p>\n and painted hinges…<\/p>\n So now you know.<\/p>\n If you need to get your house or office painted, \u00a0look no further.<\/p>\n And that is what has been filling my days for quite some time…<\/p>\n Up to my eyeballs in painters tape, HEPA vacuums, primer and beautiful, thick, gloopy paint in colors I could get lost in\u2026<\/p>\n Back soon with more transformations.<\/p>\n Ros<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi All, Spring is sprung, the daffs are out and the days are getting longer… It feels so very good to be writing a new blog again- it has been a patchy affair in recent years and on this fine … Continue reading <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>and mailboxes…<\/p>\n<\/a>are just as important as the bigger restoration work and painting. \u00a0Those all important finishing touches.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
