ok, i know i have this picture in 2 other areas, but i am so psyched that it's together and that the home show started! i thought it was a little much, but whatever, it was worth it... this is my first ever home show, it started today, and it's in morristown. i just wanted to come out shooting big guns if i was going to do anything!! i wanted to add a coffer ceiling for the back half of the room, but ran out of time... maybe next time
tell me what you think... is it too much? i have more pics and the whole process in my profile gallery... check it out if you can and please give me some constructive feed back. thanks

nice work,painter musta been cranky though with the tri tones, company i use to work for had a similar thing going only blue yellow and white. none of us would go near the pain unless to move the cans

That looks really nice - until I saw the table, throw a red sheet or something over it
FYI - The signs, don't look right to me & your name is hard to read on them

You might think about adding a window in there to show how those are handled (with a picture behind it of course) or mount a flat screen in the center & have it loop through pics of your work with your logo on it

the window sounds like a great idea... we are already trying to figure out how we are going to handle this for next year. i ended up placing a sample board in front of the table, next time i will just build and paint a matching table.

How successful are you with those home shows?

Looks very nice and professional. I do agree with cover up the table.

Were you able to set the whole thing up yourself? The last trade/home show I was involved in we only got thirty minutes to set up. After that the union had to be used.

took about 20-22 hours for set up including 3 trips for the walls and stuff and the top walls got 3 coats including stripes there. also all the caulking and trim and floor and touchup and crown and.........
