Client Highlights - Michael and Mary Beth Readey

We asked and they answered. The Readey’s have been busy these past few months.

In their own words…

Mary Beth:  Last fall Mary Beth found a group of artists that would get together every week for a communal painting session.  That now being challenging, she has continued to paint in her new art studio (meaning the living room).  She is trying some new techniques that translate to beautiful paintings.  And while she can’t meet with her artist friends in person, they continue to do weekly painting “challenges” which they share online, keeping them all creatively engaged!

Michael:  With classes now over for the semester (Michael teaches at CU), Michael has a lot more time to focus on home projects.  One that he loves is working in the garden.  This year has brought a lot of experimentation on growing veggies from seeds and transplants.  He also started a fiber and dye garden, growing flax, indigo and a variety of other natural dye plants.  He’s not sure where that will all end up but so far it’s been a fun learning process! 

Mary Beth & Michael: It seems like every year the flower gardens expand a bit more with some new plants and moving things around, and this Spring has been no exception.  Mary Beth has made some visually exciting additions to the main garden in their courtyard, while Michael has tried to keep up with the endless weeding.  So far so good as the new plants have established well and the next two months promise a lot of color and texture that are sure to go well with a glass or two of wine.

The other project that has kept both Mary Beth and Michael focused and occupied this Spring is the renovation of a 1969 Riviera Camper.  It is a project that has required a lot of structural reconstruction up to this point.  Yet the last few weeks have transitioned to finish work – with a hint of the final look now possible.  With a vision of the final design and a project plan in place, they hope to take it on the road by early summer!
