The wonderful thing was that I could paint it in my studio, always a bonus not having to travel to work.Sandi Billingsley doorway to Venice 010  Sandi Billingsley doorway to Venice 002

After I hung it at the clients house, I added the grout.

Stove Hood to fit

The goal of this job for the designer was to keep these existing new cabinets while changing out the stove hood.  The cabinet guy made the hood to fit the space left by the previous hood.  The client needed to use her kitchen while the work was being completed, so, I painted it in the basement, let it dry for 2 weeks, and then the cabinet guy returned for the installation.
