PAINTING A BLACK DISTRESSED FINISH ON LORI'S NEW WET BAR

Lori wanted to change her wet bar area.
  She had a new cabinet built and had beadboard installed on the wall under the bar.  Also, she added new tile on the back splash.  She showed me a picture of the special finish she wanted on the new and old cabinets.  The original cabinets were the pickled/white washed finish.

She wanted black distressed.

(She's having walls and ceilings painted and she said the other painter could touch up my messy lines.)

This wet bar is kind of in the middle of her living area and the new wood that she added and the black distressed finish look just wonderful!!  

Black is such a good "accent" color and for this wet bar, such a great choice. 

Remember Panda Lu?

  When she was tiny, Lori taught her to ring that bell when she needed to go out and it's the cutest thing!  She will keep touching and ringing the bell until someone notices and lets her out.  Her sister, Buffy, is a senior doggie and doesn't think much of ringing the bell.  But, when Buffy is standing at the door to go out, Panda Lu will ring it for her.  I was working right there by the door and it tickled me to watch Panda Lu managing all the "going out" time.

Selfie of my leg :)  

I always sit on the floor to paint the baseboards and bottom of whatever I'm painting and since the floor is cold in winter, I wear long socks and they're so warm.  I have colorful socks to match all of my paint clothes.

 I'm really colorful, but I'm good with that!!

I just love the black contrast with her lighter floors and walls.

Lori planned, very carefully, the design of her new wet bar.

So glad I got to paint it for her and she's very, very happy.

 This sweet message was in an email she sent to me.

                                                                                                 Lori

 That makes me feel really good!
