If any of you have seen the half bath, you would know it's pretty much the most embarrassing part of the house. If we had guests we would pretty much hope they never had to go to the bathroom during their visit. Luckily we could laugh at the ridiculousness of it and kept thinking about the day it would be transformed into something we'd be proud of. I'm happy to say that day is TODAY!
Again I didn't get a picture of the real before. One day I was deciding between taking a nap during rest time or being productive. I decided to start ripping the bathroom apart. If you remember the medicine cabinet I took out from the girls bathroom, that's also what was in this bathroom (and in the master bath, must have been a sale that day). And again with the gigantic box make-up bulb light fixture (also in the girls' bath and the master bath). You see, at some point someone was using this half bath as their main bathroom...remember they rented 7 bedrooms out in the house, including the living room that had been closed in.
The walls were (again) lime green and the ceiling is where the previous owners real artsy side came out. They painted the flat ceiling sky blue, then added white texture gobs, and then wee streaks of the lime green, I guess just to pull the room together.What I did- Pulled down the gigantic medicine cabinet, pried off the side splashes that had ridiculous amounts of glue and caulk, painted the ceiling white, primed the walls. Oscar took down the light fixture and put in a new junction box (he's a real pro at this now). Then I painted the red, and painted and painted and painted. Who knew red was such a difficult color to paint! Then Oscar installed the new light fixture and mirror. Now the room is fresh head to toe! The door got rehung last night after getting a nice new coat of paint and today the cleaned up and scraped off side splashes are getting put back on. It was hard to get a good picture of the bathroom, it's small and I just couldn't get the right angle, luckily the mirror is big and you can see most of it with the reflection.
