paint my bathroom

Even since we moved into this house, I have really disliked the wallpaper that is in the downstairs powder room. (Truth be told, I am notmuch of a fan of wallpaper at all!) As time has gone on, it is starting to peel off, even. I have been intending to paint this room for many years, but I really hate removing old wallpaper.

But now, my hatred of the wallpaper is exceeding the hatred of removing it, so I am going to do it. It’s going to look so much better when the wallpaper is gone and there is nice fresh paint in there!

I want to paint it a dusky purple. I will achieve this within 4 months!

I did it but the yellow I chose was a bit too pale. Ah well.

I hated the rustic colours in my bathroom, the overall affect was that it never looked clean and shiny. Couldn’t do much about the beige fixtures or the stone tile (mixed with mauve walls and pink and blue shiny foil borders). I decided to paint in a shade of blue green that I’ve seen in mineralized mountain rivers and hot springs. It’s a colour that always says “clean” to me. Even though such a colour should probably not be used with my fixtures and tiles, I figure if people are wearing clothes that mix turquoise and brown, I can probably do this.

I’m quite happy with the result! The colours go together OK and the whole room looks bigger and fresher. Yippee!

After about six months of thinking and not doing, I finally painted my bathroom. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I went for big, bold colors for an energizing, warm room. It was a long process, but so worth it!

I bought the paint and supplies. a lovely benjamin moore pale yellow. I’ll blue tape today after I do the dishes.

are so friggin ugly! Must change!!!

I’m going to buy the paint this week.

Mom did most of the work, and I don’t even live there anymore, but hey, it’s done!

So I finished about a week past my original deadline, but at least I can say I’m now done! It was a long, grueling process, but I’ll say it was worth doing because it looks so much better now. I painted it antique white because I wanted it to be bright and white, but not too plain. I hope I don’t have to do this again for a long time. For now I’m happy with it!
