Shari’s Backsplash

February 8, 2011 by Bethany Sy

As it turns out, we have a backsplash or two that never got posted before the girls made their abrupt appearance! This particular one was painted back in June… Shari is another one of our color-loving people. She loves fiestaware and everything about her home screams “I’M NOT COLOR-SHY!” So why stop at the backsplash! Here’s what her backsplash looked like when we arrived.

While the bright rainbow-y colors may not everyone’s cup of tea, we’re proud that our backsplash painting can be so versatile and allow our clients to get what they really want, instead of being limited to what the local tile store has in stock. Shari’s kitchen is so cheery and bright now! And it shows her personality instead of being just like the Jones’s. Touche?

Shari was kind enough to let me take several breaks and collapse on her couch to catch  my breath. It’s hard to believe that Paisley and Adelyn were both really in there! And that I was painting backsplashes at 9 months pregnant with twins. For the record, next time we’re only putting ONE embryo in.

We’re getting ready to jump back into backsplash painting, so stick around!

    It looks lovely! You guys did ger work!

    I have a 3 month old, and I look at her thinking the same thing, you were in there? Then I look at my belly, and yes, that’s what caused that look! 🙂 So precious and lovely.

    Congratulations on your girls! and great job keeping up with the blog!
