Not knowing how long she could stay in her apartment, Donna had wisely chosen NOT to paint.

The only small space we were going to paint was the entry hall, and I chose grey. It was met with less than enthusiasm. I still didn't know how much she loved vibrant colors.

When we learned she could stay for many years,we went wild and painted the whole place. We chose this muted blue over the grey, but before we could put it up, we had to strip off all of the old wallpaper underneath. Donna wisely left town, and came home two days later to this. Everyone HATED the purple square insets. I knew they would perfectly tie in the purple drapes, which no one knew were coming. Heh heh...

Donna just "had" to have these chairs from Kuhl-Lindscomb, and who wouldn't want them? They are stunning, dramatic and $6,200 each.

Here is what I created for Donna. The frames are a mixture of silver and pale blue. There are 4 side chairs and 2 armchairs, each costing $360.

Upon reflection, I think I DO have magical powers. How else would I have found this REAL zebra skin for $900 one hour after it got to The Guild Shop?
