Bathroom~before and after....

Hello and welcome to the post

that is linked to Donna at Funky Junk.

She is hosting a Saturday Nite Special

where anything goes so I'm

adding my bathroom redo.

Bathroom before...

after....
We used bead board wallpaper on the
front of the cabinets, trimmed
them out and painted them.
I'm very happy with the cottage
feel it gives them.

I spray painted some pulls,

the light covers, a shelf and the TP holder

with a hammered bronze spray paint

to match the new faucet.

Faucet before...

after...

Linen closet before...

after...

New window treatment made

from painter's drop cloth.

I love my new room.

Dishes I found to compliment

the shower curtain.

Painted the floor with

a "Hint of Cream" and

then sprayed it with

Spray Stone.

I love it!

We still have crown molding

and new hanging light fixtures to put up.

I already started putting up

some Christmas things in here.

It is always fun to have a

new space to decorate!

Thanks for stopping by!

Yes, you can paint a vinyl floor!

Before~ coat of primer...
2 coats of paint...


American Accents
Stone spray paint,
color ~ Bleached Stone
2 coats


2 coats of varnish....

After~
I love it!

It really looks like a stone tile!

I want to put on 2-3 more coats

of varnish. After that, I'm making curtains

out of painter's drop cloth and I'll be finished.

I am happy girl!

All work and a little play...

I've been working on the

bathroom floor today,

S L O W L Y !

Trying to give the coats of paint

plenty of time to dry in between.

That really tests my patience.

I just finished the last coat of

spray stone! I think it looks good.

I am going to let it dry really

well for a couple

of days before I varnish it.

This is a picture of the floor with just

a coat of primer. Check back later for

the final results in a couple of days. :)

I bought the bird toile shower curtain

from Target that so many in blogland

have loved in the past

quite some time ago.

Finally getting around to

getting this bathroom done!

I stopped in to a favorite store of mine

where I had purchased some small

pictures, wanting to get a 3rd one

to hang as a group in the new bath.

Well....Look what I found

and fell in love with!!

Bird toile dishes!

Well, I was in love at

first sight.

The plate will go above a shelf

and the bowl is wanting to be filled

with small blue egg shaped soaps.

I'm on the look out for soaps

so if anyone knows where I can

get some please let me know. :)

Perfect shade of brown toile!
While I was busy in the bathroom....

there was a whole lot of fun
going on in the other room!

Mini Chicken Pot Pies...

gutters cleanded out,

I gave Bryson and Tom haircuts.

Ugly 80's to Cottage style...

We're not quite finished with the

bathroom redo but thought I

would give you a peek at

some of the progress.

U G L Y 80's before shot....
Cottage style redo,
much better don't ya think?!

I have a coat of primer on the floor.

Tom has some trim to finish up.

Hopefully by Saturday or Sunday

I'll be able to post the finished photo's.

TriCk Or TrEAt....

Ugly bathroom redo begins today....

Yep...seriously one ugly bathroom...

80's ugly cabinets.

I've already started adding

the beadboard wall paper...

The doors broke the doors off years ago..

We built this home 27 years ago

and the wear and tear

of raising 4 kids will do that sometimes. :)

I am going to attempt a nice cottage style redo.

A lot of the hardware is going to get

a nice touch up with this....

I'm liking the hammered bronze all ready!

We had sulfur water for years and it really

damaged our faucets.

We now have great water

and I need to replace some fixtures.

I am trying to get brave and spray paint them

to see how they hold up.

The fixtures I picked since having good water

are outdated and need replacing anyway

soooo.....I'm thinking why not try out the faucet and

over flow and see how they hold up before tackling the

sink faucet and shower head.

Here are the drawer fronts with paper...

First off I glued the trim with gorilla glue

Tom is going to tack them also,

then I'll finish up with some putty

before painting them.

Don't know when I'll be all done,

Busy week already with school and clients

so we will be working an hour or two at a time.

I'll post updates along the way!

Blessings~
