Well, I said that I would show you the bedroom foyer progress today, and while I spent hours working yesterday, you can’t really tell a whole lot of difference in the photos. I always forget how long the whole process of sanding the wood filler and caulking takes. Those are big, important steps that obviously have to be done before I can paint, but they’re not really the kind of thing that make a whole lot of impact in photos.
But regardless, here’s what the bedroom foyer looks like as of this morning. It dawned on me yesterday as I was working that I can’t keep the doors on this bathroom (which will be a storage closet) painted teal. These will have to be painted, and white seems like the obvious color since all of the other doors in the bedroom are painted white. That’s going to be quite a change! I don’t think these doors have ever been white.
Way back when I did the original bathroom remodel, I painted those doors black.

And then I think it was a couple of years later that I decided to change them to teal. And they’ve been teal ever since.

So painting those doors white will be a big change, but it’s obviously the only color that makes sense.
And I have to tell you that after all of that indecision on how to finish out the doorway to the walk-in closet and fretting over how it would look to have this doorway be different from all of the others in the house, I am absolutely thrilled with how this looks. I just love how that trim looks wrapped around the door jambs.

Since it was going to be different, I wanted it to be obviously different, which is why I didn’t want to use any kind of standard or modified door casings around the opening. I wanted it to look very obviously intentional, and I’m very pleased with how it looks with the other two doorways in the foyer.

So that’s all of the progress so far. As I said, it’s not a huge difference from how it looked the last time I showed you, but I promise, lots of progress has been made!

I have more caulking to finish, and then I hope to get everything in the foyer painted by the end of the weekend. That might be an ambitious goal, but I’m going to try my hardest. I’m ready to move on to the bedroom trim!

And yes, it probably makes more sense to do all of the trim in the whole area, including the bedroom, before doing any painting. But when have I ever done anything in the right order? 😀 And I really need to see something finished very soon to keep me motivated. But I could always change my mind, also. Maybe I’ll decide to do the logical thing and finish all of the trim before I start any of the painting, but I wouldn’t count on it if I were you. 😀
And on another topic, Jonathon G. Wells is back. Remember him? I wrote a whole post about him because he’s a lunatic, in my humble opinion, and since he’s a business owner who presumably goes into clients’ homes, I thought people should know what kind of person he is. It’s been a while, but he has reared his ugly head again.
I’ve blocked him on all social media, and I blocked him from sending messages to my phone, but I guess I didn’t realize that he can still send me voicemails. And that’s what he did. I’m sharing this publicly because he made outright threats this time, and I want this information to be very public because seriously, if anything happens to me, to Matt, to any of our animals, to our house or property, etc., I want thousands of people to know who to point the finger to immediately. And while I got sidetracked last time and didn’t take out a restraining order against him, I won’t fail to do so this time.
So last night, I realized that it had been a few days since I listened to my voice messages. I don’t answer phone calls unless it’s someone I know personally, and I almost never listen to voicemail because they’re never important. So imagine my shock when I got this voicemail from Jonathon G. Wells:
Yes, Kristi, it’s Jonathon Wells. It is about 4:30 in the morning. I have been made aware of your egregious post. My attorney has already been contacted. Take it down by 9:00am this morning or you will not be happy with the outcome. And that is a THREAT. I’ve already contacted the Waco police department. I have contacted others. You have no authorization to use any of the screen captures or any of the commentary that you have made. Completely inappropriate. You are unhinged. You are unwell. I simply mentioned “dust” on your ridiculous post gluing Christmas ornaments to your bathroom ceiling. You are a fat, ugly, disgusting c*nt. I am not playing now. I am serious. I thought that perhaps you had wised up and removed everything and let it go. Cleary you didn’t. You’re a sick piece of f*ck. Now take it down by 9:00am. That’s my final warning.
Let’s all take a second and laugh at the absurdity of him saying that I don’t have the authorization to use screen captures of his website where he used pictures stolen from other designers for his portfolio. 🤣🤣 So he can steal other designers’ pictures and put them in his portfolio, but I can’t take screenshots of his website. That’s rich. And absurd.
The second one was sent at 3:37am on Monday, September 15th.
Subject: CIVIL SUIT
The text of the email said:
Get ready. To lose everything. All of it. Every last cent you have. This lunatic is ON. You Fat, Ugly, Dusty C*nt.
The third one was sent at 4:21am on Monday, September 15th.
Subject: FAT C*NT – TAKE THIS DOWN IMMEDIATELY. ALL OF IT. EVERY UNAUTHORIZED SCREEN CAPTURE. EVERY COMMENT. EVERY LITTLE BIT. EVERY MENTION OF MY NAME AND COMPANY. IMMEDIATELY. I WILL COME TO WACO, YOU FAT UGLY C*NT. DON’T PLAY WITH ME ANY MORE.
The text of the email said:
I HAVE YOUR HOME ADDRESS. YOUR HUSBAND’S WORK ADDRESS. I HAVE ALL OF YOUR INFORMATION. YOU SHOULD BE VERY VERY AFRAID. AFTER ALL, I AM A LUNATIC, RIGHT? BC I COMMENTED “DUST” ON YOUR POST. STALKER.
For the record, I’d be very interested to know Matt’s word address. 🤣 Anyway, I will be taking action this time, no question. These days, when someone says they have your address and make outright threats, that has to be taken seriously. Jonathon G. Wells is unhinged. And again, I want this information out there because if something nefarious happens to me, Matt, our animals, or our property, I want thousands of people to know where to point the finger.
