bridesmaidzilla’s revenge

August 1, 2011 by Mrs. Jones Admin

you know that saying “always a bridesmaid…never a bride”? well, while mrs. jones truly loves her work, and is always gratified to be part of making her lovely clients’ spaces into happily-ever-afters, it is now (finally!) her turn for a reallymajorproject.  it’s true!  the cobbler’s children will have shoes!

working from a master bath and laundry room plan design by selena mcadams, frank herdzina and his crew have just begun demolition on the built-in-the-1940’s, badly-remodeled-in-the-’70’s core of our little pink house.  stay tuned for a very long-awaited set of afters – hopefully by labor day – that will feature cabinets done up in annie sloan chalk paint, killer hardware, sconces, fixtures and tile that selena hunted down for me, walls sporting farrow & ball’s cornforth white (or blackened?  hmmm…samples are on order) and all sorts of bathroom & laundry goodies.

we have fun projects for clients cooking on all burners, too, so there will be lots of before and afters to share with you soon.  please check back.

    I keep checking in to your blog. Have been disapppointed that your paint “how to” technique postings have dwindled to so few, so infrequent. Can we all look forward to more posts , more often after the summer season closes? Hope so , we enjoy your inspiration.

      dear m, (that is so james bond-ian…i love it.) thank you for checking in. yes, lots more is to come. if you have specific questions, just let me know and i will try to address them. though my little journal is not meant to be a how-to guide, but rather a “snapshot” selection of my favorite current work and inspirations, my goal always is to share as much as will be helpful and/or of interest to my readers. i truly appreciate your feedback.
