So, you all (or "Y'all" for my friends down south) are aware of the mess I've made of our front entry! First I painted it a yellow that would peel the skin off your eyelids, then tried to cover it with a layer of venetian plaster then looked like a bad 90's sponge paint... Oh the horror! Thankfully I can't get our front door open so everyone comes through the garage. Anyway, I was debating sanding the 1st layer of plaster off when the Mister shook me violently (just kidding) and told me there was NO way I'd ever get that wall smooth and that I should put the next 2 layers of plaster on and SHUT IT! I spent the last 2 days leisurely slappin another layer of plaster on the walls. I'll say this: IF I had the option of redoing this, I wouldn't, BUT... it does look better with another layer! The splotchy yellow is gone, wish this mess was!
Of course, I ran out of plaster, so now we must invest another $40 in a bucket of crap we aren't thrilled with...
I also spent the day cleaning this giant bowl chandelier (that I did not pick out), it's the perfect shape to catch dust and dead bugs! Lovely!
Ahhhh, yes, there is a GREAT shot of the spongy looking plaster disaster! The yellow looks very day-glo in the pictures, which it isn't, thankfully!!
In other news, I don't like my fireplace wall and will soon be repainting it a different color.... NO, I am not available for hire!!

You crack me up!
You poor thing! I hate painting and I can't imagine having to deal with the plaster - especially on those tall walls -- they look taller than normal at least.
I suggested getting plastered while you do the plaster. Happy to help!
Lol. You are a mess, but a good mess. :) This is why I'm afraid to pick out new paint for my house.
