NOW what are you doing??

This is a question my dear husband poses to me on a regular basis. He will come home to find paint samples taped all over the walls or the tub of spackling paste sitting out or when he drives into the garage he sees this...'Hmmm, interesting...that looks like our bathroom sink.'

'Why yes dear, it is!'

The 1/2 bath on the main level of our house was fine. Nothing really wrong with it, except it was ugly. Not like UGLY, ugly...just ugly enough to bother me. I knew it could be so much more.

Here is what it looked like less than 2 weeks ago...
Lavender with all the contractor specialties....ugly white towel bar

standard crystal faucet

brass light fixture with tulip glass
and this mess...whomever did this sealing job around the toilet base was either drunk, blind or possibly both.
So I did this. Wow, this looks 1000 times better! Why stop now??
So I tore off the towel bar and the giant mirror. Along with the light fixture...and vanity top. Oh, and the faucet too. Bye-bye!
A fresh coat of paint, some elbow grease, a dozen or so trips to Home Depot and VIOLA! A new bathroom!

It's hard to get a comprehensive photo because the bathroom is so darn small. But you get the idea. It turned out great & I love how it looks! Next time you're over, stop by and use the facilities. You'll love it, I promise!
