This morning we had the pleasure of painting someone else's stuff for a change, and I have to admit that painting with an actual color was really thrilling for me as the only "color" I've been using for the past few weeks at the shop has been white... Boring white... White caulk, white primer, white spots on my shorts and flipflops.
Our friend and Preservation Resources Project Coordinator for GHF, Matty Farragher runs the GHF Paint Pals program twice a year and it's a pretty great little operation. The materials are donated (paint by Sherwin Williams and that's some quality paint, y'all), the work is done by volunteers (ahem, nice job, Aggies and other friends - except for poor Mikie who, for a few minutes was forced to paint with the world's WORST PAINTBRUSH. EVER. See below) and the project basically lends a helping hand to a Galveston neighbor while helping revitalze some of our Island's neighborhoods one house at a time...
Plus, it's fun!
