Value your opinion!

I'm loving the craziness of this yellow, pink and purple. What's your thoughts, should I make an entire table set like this? x Ruth

I remember my Mum telling me I had my Granny's stubborn streak. It felt negative, but today I discovered it can be a real positive! I'd painted a table set for a customer based on her choice of colours. I could tell she "liked" it but didn't have my usual "love it" response. So I stubbornly refused to settle and offered to paint again but this time with my idea of what colours to use based on her home decor. Well, this time she absolutely loves it!

Can't wait to varnish this custom made table set and get it to the customer!

Sometimes you try something but it doesn't really work out. The question is, have you learnt enough over the years to be able to save it and turn it around? I'm personally of the opinion that I succeeded with this one - do you also think I managed to turn it around? 🤔 Ruth x
