WIW 10/1: Painting Party with the Property Sisters

I have been going at a dead run since my plane touched down on Monday! I wore painting clothes all day yesterday, and today I painted all morning and just barely got myself dressed in time to get to my Rotary Club meeting. No time to take an outfit pic, but when I got home my design/build team was there and look! We were all color-coordinated! So we had to take a triple selfie, which will have to do as my WIW, too.

Orange pants: Banana Republic
Navy blouse: AT Loft (from SSIF -- go, Team Wear!)
Striped blazer: AT Loft
Brown pumps: Jessica Simpson
Brown belt: Target

It's not in the photo but I carried my espresso brown tote. Let's hear it for Angie's fab tried-and-true navy, peach and brown combo!

House update: allow me to introduce the Property Sisters. Marilynn, the designer, is in the middle, and that's Allison, the general contractor, on the right. It's been two months now and I'm still head-over-heels in love with both of them! Marilynn and I have been hard at work for the past two days painting my late-80s pecan dining room chairs silver (pics 2-4), while Allison's crew has been putting actual walls and an actual floor in the master bath and getting the electrical outlets properly placed for the hair dryer, flatiron, et al. Oh, and my awesome super shiny two-oven range (a birthday gift from my parents) was delivered on Tuesday! Much excitement here at Queen's Landing this week!

Thanks for looking and for you input on (what you can see of) my outfit!

You three look so cute together! Have to love the reno team who shareds your love for color and clothes!
The chairs look awesome - what a transformation! And the oven is DTF!!!

Reneeb

You ladies look so cute. What a great ideal to paint the chairs and I love your fire pit in the previous post. You are busy and talented lady.

catgirl

So HGTV! I want to be there!

Neel

This is fun and a lot of hardwork! Awesome trio! Obviously you three think alike :). .... Good for the house

Firecracker (Sharan)

First, what a fab looking team the three of you make! And so skilled--wow!
I love your chair makeover. It's coming together to look like your inspiration photo--how exciting!
And I can't get over that amazing birthday present--good grief!
Queen's Landing--great title! What a riot.

CocoLion

The outfit is perfectly smart for Rotary!

Envisioning many chic gatherings in this home (hint). And thank you for introducing us to your design team, wow!!! Only in LA would you have contractors so camera-ready and competent to boot. I do sorely miss it there… Up here you're lucky if they have teeth.

Missey

You look great! I can hardly believe you have the motivation to look so gorgeous when you are so busy! Your house is really coming along...love the two oven range. I need to know if it's big enough to fit a turkey inside, looking for a new gas range myself

MsMary

Missey, it had better be big enough for a turkey! That's why I bought it! Turkey on the bottom, sides on the top! I read the reviews and this one seemed to be the biggest overall, given that I had only 33 inches of space in which to fit it. It's a GE Profile.

Karie

You look fantastic, but I am in love with that stove! I have the 2009 single oven (with warming drawer) version of it, and I love it. It's the best range I've ever owned, a real kitchen workhorse!

Aida

How cute are you three in #1!? Sounds like you had big progress on the house over the weekend. Love the idea of silver dining chairs. What upholstery are you doing with them? The (shiny! new!) oven should fit a turkey just fine

bj1111

i love that you have a woman as a gc. she's really put your house in order--literally.

Joy

Now I see how you are using your inspiration picture for the dining room. Those chairs are so much fun! That oven looks like you will be doing some serious cooking. Love your outfit too

Nebraskim

I totally have range envy. You and your team look super cute.

AviaMariah

Fab! You three and the chairs. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Echo

From what I can see, your kitchen loos GORGEOUS! And what a fabulous thing to have friends help paint - fun! The chairs look great.

viva

Nebraskim has range envy -- I have complete chair envy. I want all three of you ladies to come help me transform my home. LOL! You look fab and your home looks amazing, Mary.

Thistle

You are all so gorgeous! And wow, your house is really coming along. I love the idea of silver chairs. Would have never thought of it, but how luxe when paired with sumptuous cushions in rich colors (imagining royal purple for some reason).

Ooh, Thistle! That's an interesting idea! We're waiting to see what colors we do in the adjoining living room before we decide on the upholstery. I was cracking up because Marilynn, the designer, kept talking about my "beautiful vintage dining room set." And I'm all, "Ahem. I bought it new. In, uh, 1988..."

Love the stove! I have a small kitchen too, so I've gotten used to trying to find the biggest/best of a limited selection whenever we have to replace something.

And the outfit too. The navy with orange works really well. Cute picture all around!

Suz

You're wearing my pants!! I couldn't be more honoured. (And wow, do I love the way they look on you. SOOOOO glad you have them because you love them as they deserve to be loved.)

What a fantastic photo of the three of you together. Your house is going to be just amazing. Love what you are doing to the chairs. And may I say that every time I see one of your house pictures I am once again wowed by the abundance of natural light? Everything is so beautifully bright.

Thanks Mary! I'm looking into that oven for my remodel next summer

dashielle (Ann)

Wow, you have been busy! It's looking great...you're looking great...it's all up from here Mary! (Double oven, what I wouldn't have given for one Sunday night!)

Jaime

The three of you could be the promo picture for the Property Sisters - home renewal and modeling agency.
