the sincerest form of flattery

gumby's dining room

I am just TICKLED to have provided the inspiration for gumby's beautiful faux-painted gold ceiling in her dining room on Rate My Space!

The main reason I started this blog was to share my DIY projects in detail, which is near impossible on RMS due to the limitations on comment length.

I'd email people my instructions and then later wonder if I'd forgotten anything! And then I'd worry... "What if they actually do it the way I told them and it turns out crappy or something?" Then I'll have people I don't even know HATING me. Bummer.

I'd also wonder, after sending lengthy emails, "Did I just do all that typing for nothing?" I type fast, but how do I know these folks are as nuts as me and will actually take the time to do this messy work?

So what a treat it is to see gumby's finished product. Please visit her space, rate it and leave a nice comment!

If you're in the mood to put a golden glow on your ceiling for the coming holidays, here's the complete faux painting how-to.
