I've been lucky enough to work in the homes of some ridiculously wealthy folks.
Some were really nice. Most were not. Example - Made us 'work people' (I was painting the columns in their home to look like marble, something I'm pretty good at.) & we had to go to the nearest Publix to use the bathroom.
Along with this comic from this morning, I'm attaching an example of my painted marble. This was part of a wood archway into a wine room.
@VictoriaLandis1 I used to have a tiny catering company shucking oysters at people’s houses. Lots of weird instances, but once I had a gig and they had a terra cotta warrior - a real one - which they had bought from a museum auction in Mexico apparently.
That's pretty cool. I've read that originally, all the soldiers were painted/brightly colored.
