Master bathroom reface

 

I'm not sure how the real world tackles painting rooms. My family growing up never painted. My parents were anti-painting. If it involved painting, it wasn't getting done. That or it had to be meticulously planned but executed really crappy. 

The day before my birthday I was off from work, was bored around 3 pm... And just sat up and said I was going to work on the bathroom. We hopped in the car, went to lowes, and it took off from there.


Everything in this freaking bathroom was beige. Walls, tiles, vanity, shower, you name it, it was beige. Something had to break up the beige, and it was going to be me. settled on a color we both didn't hate, brought it to the dude to mix, dude screws it up the first time and does a completely different color than the one  circled, succeeds to complete the order on attempt number 2 and away I go home with a gallon of blue paint and a dream. 

And then my dream was put on hold by the tape monster. I taped everything I could reach. I'll leave it at that. Took an hour and a half and I almost gave up there. Taping's a cold biotch. Painting is taping's bitch cousin.

I only had a few hours to admire my new paint job before I came to the realization we took most of the lighting down. Light project was second. We found some indoor/outdoor wall sconces and wired them together and secured them to a wooden base to make a giant light feature. It looks awesome. So much cheaper than buying something similar. Then adding trim around the shower door, and handmade towel hangers were a must and finally adding the moulding around the mirror and gel staining the vanity was a must. Bathroom is coming along. Still a bunch of stuff to do, but I'll probably update you with a part two later.  And I know everyone just probably wants to look at the pictures. :)

Still have some work to do, but loving it more every day! :)
