Painters in Bella Vista
Bella Vista, Arkansas is the place to be if you love mountain biking. This city is home to a whopping seven golf courses and over 100 miles of 5-star single track. The trails are so great that they are a favorite amongst mountain bikers from across the country. While it is not the retirement community it once was, Bella Vista is still a nice little town to live in. Fortunately, there are some excellent paint contractors in the area to help you spruce up your home.
One of the better places to find a painting contractor in the area is in Northwest Arkansas. There are several companies you can choose from in the area, and many offer free quotes. When you are considering a new paint job, you need to make sure that you get a professional with the right credentials. They will be able to provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision.
A good quality paint company should also offer other services such as drywall, carpentry and deck and fence installation. For a small additional fee, you may be able to get all of these services. Many homeowners have an interest in renovating their homes, but it is not always easy to find the time. Painting the exterior of your home is a great way to add value and style to your property. If you have never painted the outside of your house, you might be surprised at the challenges that you will face. However, the rewards are well worth the effort.
You might not be able to afford a brand new home, but there are plenty of ways to make your current residence stand out from the rest. One of these involves hiring a painters Bella Vista. Painters will be able to do the entire job for you, or just the smaller tasks.
Choosing the best company to perform the task is a daunting task. You need to make sure that they are reliable, well-equipped and willing to work on short notice. You should consider the size of your project and the time you need it done. Having an experienced company to handle the details is an investment that will pay dividends in the long run.
The most important part of any new paint job is choosing the right company. Ensure that they know how to do the job, and you'll have a nice looking home in no time. Some paint contractors in the area are happy to come to your home to give you a free quote and give you a preview of the process. Whether you are getting ready to sell your home or want to improve your home's aesthetics, hiring a good quality Bella Vista painter will ensure that you get the job done right. Using the right painting companies will not only make your house look good, it will save you a lot of hassle and frustration in the long run.

Tag Game
Thanks for tagging me, @baronessblixen~
Favourite painter: @opentheskies, unironically. Very evocative.
Favourite writer: I have two types: my favorite mood writers (Gabriel Garcia Marquez, T. S. Eliot, William Blake; Charlotte Bronte and David Duchovny at their best) and great all around, never-missers (Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Daphne Du Maurier, Jules Verne, Alexandre Dumas, and others.) Currently it's T. S. Eliot.
Favourite band: Don't have one!
Favourite meal and drink: Gotta steal BaronessBlixen's answer (hamburgers)-- just can't be beat.
Favourite outfit aesthetic: Black dress, red lipstick. Don't have a black dress currently; but I will someday~.
Favourite singer: Currently, Dan Vasc on YouTube-- insane range and tone (he's a metal singer that was also classically trained; and perfectly executes the operatic Nessun Dorma. Recommend this vid reacting to and explaining his cover.)
Favourite item I own: My computer and journal. Used to be my camera; but it was so old it died.
Favourite possession: I'll turn this into a quality I possess-- my favorite quality about myself is my balance between skepticism and optimism (more so than I let on, often.)
Favourite perfume: Chanel's Gabrielle. That or musky scents work well with my skin (better than other "professional" perfumes, imo.)
Tags (if you want~): @dd-is-my-guiltypleasure, @welsharcher, @agent-troi, @suitablyaggrieved, @amplifyme, @living-in-unreality, @spidey-is-tired, @ibringyouasong89, @deathsbestgirl, @virtie333, @aloysiavirgata, @slippinmickeys, @cecilysass, @justice-for-queequeg, @xxsksxxx, @redteekal, @demon-fetal-harvest, @myassbrokethefall, @writingwell, @sixhours, @kiivitaja, @wexleresque, @thatfragilecapricorn30, @opentheskies, @carrie11, @tennant-the-tigger, @freckleslikestars, @teenie-xf, @pennyserenade, @unremarkablehouse, @tossingmyglossymane, @sagan-starstuff, @lesbianagentofnothing, @catharsisxf, @nachosncheeze, @ragnarockz, @thescullyphile, @nimlurks, @captainsugarcane, @samucabd, @storybycorey, and anyone else who wants to join!

Favorites Meme!
I've been tagged by @cynic-view-ahead! Thank you!!!
Favorite painter: I am uncultured swine and apparently know nothing about art. I do know that seeing Gustav Klimt's work in Austria made me *feel things* so I'm gonna say Klimt.
Favorite poet/writer: Not a fair question, I have 792 favorite authors. I love Oscar Wilde a lot, John Steinbeck, and Charlotte Bronte. I guess I'm a classics kinda girl.
Favorite band: I have a pretty intense obsession with The Staves. Foo Fighters come in at a close second, though. Mainly cuz Dave Grohl.
Favorite meal & drink: Meal? Probably that one bowl of ramen I had in NYC 11 years ago. I will never, ever forget that ramen. Drink? Coffee all dayyyyy.
Favorite outfit aesthetic/style: Dress and boots with long messy hair. Make of that what you will.
Favorite singer: Tie between Florence Welch and Brandi Carlile.
Favorite item you own: Probably my ukulele? Hm. Maybe my wedding ring. That's important. I'm pretty minimalistic!! I guess my laptop, too, because without that I wouldn't write nearly as much as I do.
Favorite perfume: My husband got me Le Labo's Bergamote 22 and I'll never wear another scent ever in my life.
I tag anyone who wishes to participate! I'd love to get to know you!!

Supplementary info:
My heroine is from the early/mid 1800s; she's from England, and has an English mother, but her father was a French émigré, hence the French surname. Her first name is Maria.
Vernet
meaning: habitational place name, referring to a grove of alder trees
pros: like it a lot, it's also the name of several French painters, including Horace Vernet, who painted a very famous version of The Ballad of Lenore, so there's a subtle gothic connection.
cons: it's a version of my own last name. This seems potentially weird to me.
Varenne
meaning: habitational place name, referring to either arid and barren soil, or conversely, very rich and fertile soil (go figure 🤷♀️) a common place name used in multiple locations in France
pros: the first name I thought of and probably the one I like the sound of best
cons: sounds suspiciously like Adele's name in Jane Eyre. I don't mind a subtle reference, but I didn't have that in mind at all when I thought it up, and I don't want to look like I'm straight up yoinking shit from Bronte.
Lenoire
meaning: "the black" or "the dark" referring to someone with dark coloring
pros: I like it well enough, and it doesn't have the hangups of the other two options
cons: I don't like it as well as either of the other options lol
#I've been debating between the first 2 for literally months#I can't keep calling her Miss X I need to settle on something#gothic novel#gothic heroine#also why is the longest I can ever put a poll out for a week and then other people are dropping ones that end a century in the future???#ye olde werewolf gothique

Wallpaper Removal Service Near Me
If you've been thinking about re-papering your walls, you may want to consider a wallpaper removal service. Wallpaper can be difficult to apply and remove. You need to use the right tools and technique to get the job done correctly. A professional can help you do the job right the first time.
Depending on your location, removing old wallpaper can be a fairly expensive task. Some contractors charge as little as $3 per square foot, while others go as high as $10 for a larger project. This will depend on the size of the room, the amount of wall coverage, and the type of wallpaper that needs to be removed.
There are many things to consider before you start a project like this. First, it is important to make sure the area is properly prepared. For example, the adhesive on most wallpaper has to be removed before the wall can be painted. In addition, you'll probably need to use specialty ladders in some cases. Lastly, you'll want to check for outlet covers that will reveal the edges of your wall.
Luckily, there are a number of services available that can perform the aforementioned function for you. They offer everything from a quick consultation to a full scale wallpaper removal service. Whether you are looking to update your home, or you are trying to sell your property, a reputable professional can give you the best results.
A wallpaper removal service near me is the best way to go. The process is fairly simple, but you'll need to have the right equipment, and you'll need to be patient. Removing old wallpaper is a difficult task, and you will need to take your time to do it correctly. Once the old wallcovering is out of the way, you can easily paint your walls a new color.
While you're at it, you'll want to be sure to take a good look at the other design elements in your room. You'll also want to take a few moments to evaluate the best way to approach the project. That means finding a wallpaper removal service that will fit your budget. Ideally, you'll be paying less for a complete service than you would for a quick fix. Ultimately, you'll end up with a much cleaner and better looking room.
The cost of removing wallpaper will vary, but you should be able to find a quote online. Many companies will give you an estimate based on the size of your room. Of course, it's possible that you'll need more than one quote. Generally speaking, a professional can give you a better idea of how long the task will take and how much it will cost.
It's also important to know the difference between a good and a bad job. A poorly executed wallpaper removal job can lead to unsightly walls, and the costs involved can be as high as the removal itself. By removing the wallpaper in a timely manner, you can have a smooth, wallpaper-free room without breaking the bank.
Offering quality services in the best possible pricing is the motto of Salma Painting and Decorating Services. Having started out in the year 2003, over the years, we have grown our clientele and engaged in a range of painting and decorating services for commercial, residential and industrial segments.

It's a bit hard to articulate it because it's just a hunch that I have. The thing with Jane Eyre is that the main character (it's a first-person pov) is a painter and she has these very vivid descriptions when it comes to nature and the passing of time. For example this is how she describes summer:
"It was not a bright or splendid summer evening, though fair and soft: the haymakers were at work all along the road; and the sky, though far from cloudless, was such as promised well for the future: its blue- where blue was visible- was mild and settled, and its cloud strata high and thin. The west, too, was warm: no watery gleam chilled it- it seemed as if there was a fire lit, an altar burning behind its screen of marbled vapour, and out of apertures shone a golden redness." (chapter 22)
and this is how she describes the winter/spring transition:
"Spring drew on: she was indeed already come; the frosts of winter had ceased; its snows were melted, its cutting winds ameliorated. My wretched feet, flayed and swollen to lameness by the sharp air of January, began to heal and subside under the gentler breathings of April ..." (beginning of chapter 9)
those descriptions can be characterized by these three features:
personification of nature, emphasis on the agency of nature (nature is not passive in any sense)
description of nature and time is used to bring attention to the narrative and to the mental/physical state of the character
description of nature and time often happens at the start of the chapter, to set the scene
those 3 features are pretty specific to jane eyre; i haven't read all of 19th c british literature but those descriptions are really representative of charlotte bronte's style compared to, say, charles dickens for example (another writer jkr has obviously read and drawn inspiration from)
and those 3 features also characterize the way JKR uses descriptions of nature/passing of time in HP. this quote has it all:
"October extinguished itself in a rush of howling winds and driving rain and November arrived, cold as frozen iron, with hard frosts every morning and icy drafts that bit at exposed hands and faces. The skies and the ceiling of the Great Hall turned a pale, pearly gray, the mountains around Hogwarts became snowcapped, and the temperature in the castle dropped so far that many students wore their thick protective dragon skin gloves in the corridors between lessons."
but that's just how she generally describes the passing of time, even when she uses less words. for example: "As a dull March blurred into a squally April, his life seemed to have become one long series of worries and problems again." (that quote goes so hard) (both of them are from ootp)
both jkr and bronte use descriptions of nature work as a narrative device in the exact same way. i don't think it's too far-fetched to assume bronte influenced her writing style as i'm convinced jkr has read jane eyre (it's jkr, come on, ofc she's read it) (i'm also convinced jkr has read wuthering heights and you can see this in hbp. i should re-read wuthering heights but in english this time cause maybe there is some stylistic influence too idk)

#i've been pastiche-ing jkr's writing style for my fanfiction#because i think fanfiction is only good if it's an actual pastiche that resembles the og writer's style as much as it can#and i have a whole doc where i compile hp quotes about nature and time passing#also i'm sorry for late reply i got covid and then i started a new job o7#for example this is how i pastiched it in chapter 3#'October came; rainy and covered in mist; dragging in its trail the rumblings of dead leaves;#the roarings of the wind and a remarkable sense of thrill as their first visit to Hogsmeade drew near.' (just replace the ; by commas)#<- i'm writing it in both english and my native language because i'm a nerd and this is my idea of fun....#i also compile her dialogue adverbs and the way she writes about feelings#she often combines a sound + a feeling (for example 'the whince of terror that echoed in his mind' - ootp) it's a very holistic perspective#it's like the opposite of mind/body dualism because her point is to show how a character's feelings become embodied#and impacts how they physically feel (instead of focusing on feelings as if they were some kind of ethereal ideas floating in the nether#like what the Romantics did)#what she also does with feelings is combine two of them so it creates movement (example: 'feeling of mingled defiance and relief' - ootp)#i think her writing style contributes to the general message of the books. because the whole deal with voldemort is that he is the literal#embodiement of mind/body dualism (in his action - he has shattered his soul into horcruxes + destroyed his body in the process)#(in his goals - to beat Death itself (superiority of the mind over the body))#while harry's journey (as the MC of a coming of age story) is precisely about learning how to process his feelings and accept them - both#the good and the bad#you can see this in how spells work in hp. spells like the patronus or the doloris ones require a strong hold over your feelings#(respectively love and hatred)#also! so cool that you're buying count of monte cristo. i'm currently reading the three musketeers myself

If you are a house owner that is getting ready to paint your home, you must first consider removing the old paint from the walls first. Why? If you don’t prepare the walls and add in a fresh coat of paint, the expert Painters Bronte say that there are many chances that the new paint will chip off and flake quickly. For more details, visit https://brushworks.com.au/do-you-need-to-remove-paint-before-painting/
