Hubby. Hates. Painting. So, I don't even talk to him about it, I just do it.
I was sick of the color of our half bath right off the kitchen. When we first moved in it was a deep dark mauve. In a tiny little space. It made it feel even smaller. Then I painted it this tanish green. Not bad, but not what I was looking for, but it stayed that way for awhile.
This was the mirror I put in because I didn't like the plain oval mirror that the builder put up.
This was a big ol' antique mirror that I found for six bucks, painted it white, decided I didn't like it white and then painted it ORB. It stayed that way for quite awhile.
Then I changed out that mirror a few weeks ago to this smaller white one (of course I painted it white, it used to be just a basic wood.)
So this is what this bathroom has looked like for awhile now.
Gus apparently hated the color of the bathroom.
I also took some 1 x 4 and quickly nailed (with my pneumatic nailer) it into the wall at a random height. I did use the laser level to make sure it was semi-straight.
And here's the result so far.
Tom came home and the first thing he said was, "Wow. I like the bathroom." So, in my book that's a good thing. When he actually notices a change, then I know I've done good.
I'm on the hunt for a new cool light fixture, as this one just doesn't fit the space anymore. It's actually a rusty brown color. I'm looking for a brushed nickel or something, i think.
And, I'm thinking of hanging some hooks on the trim and putting some pictures or jars or something on them. It just needs a little more detail. Otherwise, I'm enjoying it.
And, off to paint trim. I have a deadline of having it all painted by Thanksgiving. Slowly but surely. Slowly but surely....
Me likey. Me want a pneumatic nailer thing. And your cutey patootie son.
ReplyDeleteLooks great and I think hooks on the trim will look awesome, and also give it some added touch of character.
ReplyDeleteI get bored with our decor very quickly!! Things are always changing around here. I love the addition of trim to your room.

Looks great! Your bath looks to be the same size as the one we just put in. I used a blue above also. Great minds think a like! http://goingalittlecoastal.blogspot.com/2010/09/finallythe-bathroom.html
