Making It Our Own

One more room to change from the previous owner's colors to ours. The master bath, oh wait there is only one bedroom so it must be the bedroom bath, was a dark color.Lots of gold glazing on the walls. Pretty, but not what we want.

This is the dustiest room of the house. How can an interior bathroom need to be dusted every week. I am talking the light fixtures and the top of the tile ropework need to be dusted. Hm-m-m maybe it's because of all the holes in the walls.

 Why would you be willing to live with a hole at your light fixture you would see every time you went into your bathroom?






The house has settled so you should fix a crack; right?

When taping the walls I find dozens of little holes all around the room. Why would he have tried to hang something 6 inches down from the ceiling? It was above the head knocker that I the majority of the nail holes. Perplexing questions that you have when you buy an existing home. Wonder what kind of questions and head shakes the buyers of our last house have had.







Got the holes filled, towel racks taken down, taped and started painting.

Had to get creative on how to paint the walls on the backside of the shower enclosure. It is plastic so you can't put any weight on it to lean over. So I taped a paint brush to a towel rod and just threw paint up on the walls. It is in the shadows so you can't tell the paint job is haphazard. When we change out the shower I'll fix it.

This is the base coat and Bill panicked on this color like I did on the powder room color. He sees fire engine red when he looks at this color. We had never realized he is slightly color blind until we opened the rock yard and discovered he shouldn't help people pick out stone for their house. What he sees and most of the world sees are two slightly different things. Pictures being pictures you can't tell but this paint has a cinnamon cast to it. That's where he gets the red.

The glaze made it beautiful. It picks up the bronze from the hardware and our painting of the view from our favorite lunch place in St. Marteen.

 

It's amazing that even though this is a dark paint the room is so much lighter than before. The other paint absorbed the light and this paint reflects it. I think we are going to paint the cabinets the light color of the tiles at a later date.
