Out With The Old In With The New

When we bought our place the apartment being decorated with heavy dark colors made it feel less like a barn and more like a home. After 6 months we were ready to start changing out paint colors.  

First to go is the Texas Orange bathroom.

Of course, I decide to do this over Spring Break when the grand kids are with us for 4 days and I would prefer playing with them than painting. So the job took awhile.

 

Sutton put on one of my painting tee shirts and grabbed a brush to help. Mallory helped also but I didn't feel comfortable leaving a 2 year old alone with a paint roller while I went to get the camera.

OH NO It's White!

In fact it is almost a blinding white. Not the look I was going for in this room.

Keep calm and remember you are putting a Pearl glaze over top. "The swatch and the cans are much darker. It will be okay". I had to keep repeating that to myself through this process.

It's beautiful! The glazing is incredible. You are suppose to brush it on and then trowel off but our texture is heavy to use the trowel. So I brushed it on waited 5-6 minutes and then toweled it off.

The ceiling has a thing stuck on it that is kinda cool. Glazed it but not the rest of the ceiling.

Now it is a bathroom worthy of House Beautiful! We love it.

I would never have put black granite with a gold and copper sink bowl but replacing the granite will wait until we are getting our other granite.
