Another auction item for the Moving Fund...

I've wanted to put this up and had to wait until I took new pictures of the bathroom.
This item is for a custom faux-finish paint job for a room no bigger than 10'x10' (if a paint job for a bigger room is desired, an additional fee will accrue, to be discussed at time of the job.
I am willing to travel to do this, with the understanding that the winner must pay my travel expenses and lodge and feed me while I'm completing the job. Also, the winner will provide (as in, pay for, the paint and supplies. I have my own brushes, rollers and tools; what will be required is the paints, glazes and anything else that might be required once the specifications are determined.
The pictures of the guest bathroom in this house show an "Old World" layered color finish. This sort of finish took about 12 different layers of paint, including glazes and washes and took nearly a week to complete on a 3'x 6' room, partly accounting for drying time between coats.
A job like this would normally bid out at about $1500 for labor alone. This is a phenomenal deal, partly for this auction and my needing money to move and partly to launch the painting business I want to re-start once I move back to Kansas City.
Ok, so...starting bid is $300 and as I said, the value of this is about $1500.
This auction will end December 15, 2009.
(Please do not bid here, but over atrescue_rowan so that AmberBob can keep track of the bidding.
Thanks, and please look at the other items while you're there, and please pass the word. This may be tacky of me to promote for myself but moving and legal fees are huge and seem a bit overwhelming at times.

The back right corner.

Sounds interesting...just not sure I can afford it.

You're lucky to get me to do a coat of primer and two coats of paint. And even them, I'm aggravated to say the purple accent wall I did two years ago in the living room is showing "stripes" and patches where the hand brushed edges are aging differently than the rolled fields. Le sigh.
This is gorgeous.

Thanks...I'm hoping this business will launch pretty successfully when I get to KC.

There's no real hurry; not like I'm dropping off the face of the planet or something.
