COLOR, COLOR, the POWER of COLOR....and more!

Talk about transformation!!!  

Our accent walls were painted (mostly - another coat coming) and the power of the color is huge!!  Here are some pics about it (and the other excitement that was yesterday - why does everything happen at the same time???  Murphy's law?):

Before the painters put color on the wall, our beautiful new periodical shelves arrived:




Mike and John oversee the excitement







And in a cosmic coordination, the shelves were left unattached to the wall so the painters could...



Do their job and...paint - they don't use ANY tape and the edges are amazing!  





First coat of Aged Wine completed and on to...

Robust Orange!!! On the front wall:


(see those edgers...no tape!!)
By the way the names of the amazing painters are Ken Hall, Jack Mongold and Wallace Perdue.  Thanks, so much you guys!!!




And I could not resist MK's cool dress with the wall - talk about colors - Wow!!







And in the meantime...

The new photocopier/scanner needed work...


And we had to choose new fabric for the comfy chairs because our earlier choices are on back order - THANK YOU, once again to Patrick Lucas for helping out with that (and so much more)!!!  


Oh, yes, and teach a class (thanks to MK, for going to the meeting in the big house I could not make - not to mention everyone working to keep our operations going busy week 2 of the semester) and here comes the back wall:









Check out the cool sunset-like reflection on the shelves which will calm down some when the paint dries, but...cool or maybe...hot?












and some second coats:



drying:


And notice how David cleverly changed the signs on the kiosk to blue (from orange - way to go, David!)


Just amazing, the transformation!



WOW!  What a delicious day in the Harold Schiffman Music Library!
