Today I had a productive day, thank goodness. Plus it is amazingly beautiful outside, the sun is shining and it feels like spring. One downer though, I got paint on my favorite pair of jeans. I am usually so good about not dripping on myself. Any tricks to getting paint out? I always joke with my friend Molly that I need to get a big doctors coat to have in the studio so I can still wear cute clothes but cover them with my "furniture doctors coat". This might be weird, maybe this is only funny to me.
Anyway, back to the store.
I sold a dresser today but I also added in a new one. The color is a very light grey almost white. It is the same color that I am doing a couple custom pieces on this week. I will need to get back to you with the exact color {I can't remember} but it is a Martha Stewart paint. I still need to wax it, but it should be ready to go tomorrow.
At one point today I had five people in my shop today. A client and my shop neighbor and her friends and it felt really cramped, so I opened up the shop a bit and made it bigger. Now there is more room to mingle.
I will be at the shop early tomorrow doing last minute touchups and tagging more inventory.
And if you come visit me tomorrow {and I hope you do!} be kind, I am winging this shop girl thing!
I have heard that you can use laquer thinner or acetone to get latex paint out of clothing, but I haven't tried it myself. I'd test it on a junk pair of jeans first, just in case. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Wish you the best.
ReplyDeleteWow everything looks amazing! I also need to wear a big coat because I dont like changing my clothes to paint but also dont want to get paint all over my nice clothes.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!!! Everything will be great!
ReplyDeleteI have read that hairspray will take paint off of jeans. The cheap kind! I bought a bottle and am waiting for my oopsie.
ReplyDeleteI lent my paint eraser to a friend who had drips that needed to go. I picked it up next to the paint thinner at HD. It's meant to lift drips off of floors but I've used it on clothes, sink surrounds, finished wood floors, mouldings, hands and fingernails :) CAN'T WAIT to hear how it went on your opening day!!!
ReplyDeleteWow love your treasures, wishing you every success. Thanks for sharing. This is my first visit to your special space, I will follow on my way out as I am sure I will enjoy engaging and supporting your special place now I have found you,I hope you will find the some time to come visit me some time. Cheers SpecialK XoXo
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the grey dresser but live in Mill Creek and am only in the Tacoma area on occasion. How much are you asking for it and is it still available?

ReplyDeleteYou could try VINEGAR to get the paint out. It made soften it up enough to scrub it out. Good luck! You should definitely get the coat for painting. It would make you look all official in your beautiful store.
