You know how some projects are bigger and more tedious than others?? Well the large and very tall green wall behind our moxie checkout counter is one of our big and somewhat daunting-to-tackle shop projects. Mostly because the walls are plaster and practically impossible to nail into and the 12 foot long wrap station is in front of the wall and can not be moved so you have to climb the ladder and hang on to it with one leg only while two others hold the ladder in place to keep it from kicking out from under you.
We've had the wall done up in black and white signage for the last couple of years. I knew I wanted to change it up but someone near and dear to me ( I won't name names but it might begin with a c and end with a y) was resistant to say the least. She made valid points about how difficult it would be and how hard it was to nail into the wall etc. etc. I did not disagree but I made up my mind we'd do it and do it we did.
Courtney, Maureen, Patty and I tackled the wall today. Courtney took one for the team and was the ladder monkey. Maureen and Patty spotted and assisted her and I was the bossy art director. Left two inches, right a tiny bit, up a little, down a smidge. Yes.... right there. We all had ideas about what should go where and together we got it done in about 3 1/2 hours. Not bad!
Courtney really deserves a round of applause because reaching off of the ladder and trying to hammer into super hard plaster is not easy! Maureen, Patty and Courtney are so very talented and wonderful to work with. I adore working with them all!!
Now you'll have something new to gaze upon when you are at our checkout.
Lots of gorgeous new pieces from Kelly Rae Roberts. Her art is beautiful and inspirational. We hope you like it and will pop in soon to check it out up close and personal!
Wow!!! Awesome work on a very tough job! Looks wonderful!
