I FINALLY got every speck of it removed from this 1979 built house. My master bath had huge palm leaves in various shades of chrome and greens in a very tiny 3/4 bath. The hall bath had chocolate brown, vanilla, and chrome daisies, with stems mind you. A guest bedroom had chrome outlined terra cotta and navy blue silhouettes of bearded irise, with matching drapes and bedspread - minus the chrome outlines on the fabric - it's a good thing I had an open mind when I looked at this house and I could see past all it's beauty. LOL <BR/>Now you just hang in there and another project will come along. You are a very talented guy. ~ Robynimjacobsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00842267107516241617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948862230201694042.post-69223607981306895172008-11-10T19:33:00.000-05:002008-11-10T19:33:00.000-05:00Glad you have maintained your sense of humor!Glad you have maintained your sense of humor!Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07344585487350196621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948862230201694042.post-60887993223336380202008-11-10T19:31:00.000-05:002008-11-10T19:31:00.000-05:00Great way to tell a story, you're too funny! ...Great way to tell a story, you're too funny!
