Crowbar

I helped my mom redo the Crowbar's floor at their main location. Obviously you won't be able to see the fine detail so it probably looks like crap. The floor was fauxed and holds a striking resemblance to the table tops, and the 'dance floor' is fauxed with a lighter color and sealed with slut dust in the top coat. In other words it sparkles :)

This week

This week at work our new friends are getting ready to move into their new home. It was previously owned by the owner of fright done or whatever. Gorgeous house. They wanted all the oak in the house redone to a toasted almond look, of which I am the master. There was an oversized kitchen, a banister with spindles that will soon mimic the chandelier, another taking on the second set of stairs, powder room, downstairs bathroom, laundry room, all the cabinets in the hallway, jack and Jill bath, and finally the master bath. We had it set for eight days, but we knocked it out sooner than we expected. These are all untouched, but since it's from the phone you may still have difficulty making out how precise the work actually is. All of it is done by hand.

fun week at work!

This week we were at a friends house, helping out with some things the previous owners messed up. They ripped off the wallpaper so we could do skip trowel on the top part of the wall. To get the look we use joint compound. Once that's dry a soft faux goes over the top to create warmth and depth. I also had to fix the front door, which was horribly stained. The befores are the pictures of the door a funky orange color, durings are a solid base, and the final has a glaze, which was still wet when I took the picture, to give it that wood grain finish.

Below are some before and during photos. The afters are going to be the square photos. Sorry I can't reorder them, blame the app >.<

So if you're in the Spring Valley area

You should check out Crowbar's second location! It's located where Fat Katz used to be off Rainbow and Flamingo by the 7-11. Finally finished the painting here.. The front door was hand painted to look like wood, and the outlets were meant to mimic the brick inside of the place. Unedited photos:

Camera Roll: Paint And Pictures

this week at work we painted a doctor & lawyer's home.

the drive up there was really pretty,

considering las vegas is in the middle of a desert

and there's normally dirt and rocks around for landscape.

obviously a camera phone won't do it justice, but i'll still share :]

you don't see shit like that everyday here.

if you didn't know, i paint for a living with my mom. she owns her own design company, and i'm an artist, along with my little brother. this week we painted the master and master closet, and did an accent wall. texture & faux finish. here's my mom applying the joint compound:

and here is the almost finished product:

looks pretty neat, huh?
and our friend redid the master bath.
it is rainforest marble over bamboo flooring. there are benches in the shower and a gorgeous chandelier over the bathtub. and the faucet in the sinks are amazing!!

such a gorgeous work setting this week!
this is my not-so-gorgeous return home:

paint EVERYWHERE!!! i'm allergic to the latex gloves and the non-latex gloves bother me. and the hair obviously wanted to paint. that's what i get for not wearing my hat.

back at home, i had the entire house to myself. well, not really, i have four minions running around, but that's what it felt like. my husband went to seattle for a couple days. he shared some pictures with me that i'll share with you!

he drove around and sent me some pictures..
i saved my favorites and played with them on instagram-

i am so excited that he's home! i was so anxious to pick him up from the airport last night, worried i wouldnt look good enough for him, so i took a shit ton of pictures. he doesn't give a shit what i look like, but i was just excited! here they are, and yes, i had to play with tons of filters!

no filter

and don't forget! tomorrow is NO PANTS FRIDAY!!!!
