It still feels like Valentines Day. Perhaps, that is all because of the bright red colored ceramic lighting fixtures which adorns and lights up the interior and exterior of the house. We wanted to restore it to its original color which is white. But mom wants to keep its current color. She said that we have too much white in the house including the wall, armoires, and doors. The red colored ceramic lighting fixtures break the monotonous color in the house. The problem is, dad likes the red color the least and so are the rest of the family.
Nevertheless, we agreed to compromise. We all decided to keep all the bright red colored ceramic lights in the bathroom and the patio and the rest of the lamps will be repainted. Then we tried what we could to repaint the ceramic lamps white but the white latex paint is only turning everything pink. We tried using the sandpaper in removing the bright red paint from the bisque but that requires Herculean patience as the paint cannot be removed easily without damaging the texture of the ceramic sconces and ceiling lamps. We cannot use solvent or liquid cleaners to remove the latex paint as these will be absorbed by the ceramic lighting fixtures. No wonder mom let us win so easily. Although dad, knew what is going to happen in the end he still insisted on repainting the ceramic sconces just to irritate mom.
I guess pink colored bisque sconces are better than the bright red colored ones since the color is not that strong. However, I will try again cleaning the sconces with water until all the red latex pain from the sconces is all remove. But I have to do it every two weeks just to make sure that the sconces will not be damaged because of too much cleaning.
