A Fresh Coat of Paint



Posted by Jamie

There are times when I am convinced that Stefanie has no fear. She will climb to the tops of ladders and stretch her body as far as it will go to hang a piece of art near the top of 55's 20-foot high walls. I've seen her lift huge antiques by herself, while grown men watch and decide whether or not to offer their assistance when she's doing just fine by herself.


This week, she decided it was time to add some fresh paint to the outside of her two-story shop. Without a moment's hesitation, she bravely rode a boom lift 26 feet into the air and got right to it. In about 24 hours time, she had added a rich golden color to the large wood window frames and bold magenta to the enormous back doors.


This building is gorgeous, and Stef continually finds ways to reinvent and reinvigorate all of its decorative details.
