A Little Bathroom Project Begins

Hi! If I have misspelled words in this post, it’s my stupid laptop. The keyboard is not working right. It is under warranty but what a lot of trouble!

Mike and I are going to be working on our house again during the next 6-9 months. We’re getting the hardwood redone, redoing the kitchen counters, and fixing up this and that. I’m still working part-time for a few more weeks but I’ve already started one of the projects. Our “powder room” is dated, and we are starting there. By the way, when did “half bath” become “powder room?”

Here’s the room tonight…

Half Bath

I’m changing the light, the mirror, the spigot and the paint…maybe some of the cabinet hardware. I still enjoy Lisa Snead’s painting…but I can’t keep it and change the paint. Here’s a glimpse of her work…

Three Walls

Here ‘s the brassy spigot…I had wondered about painting it, but I just went ahead and bought new.

Spigot

Tomorrow we’re removing the mirror which is glued to the wall. Guess who gave me instructions on this? My True Love…

I hope this works!

    You are lots more industrious than me. “If it ain’t broke–don’t fix it”–my motto!!

    I love the writing on the wall…have you thought of leaving it and just changing the paint below it. You could leave it as a sort of border and paint another more pleasant color you like below. Also if the mirror removal gets to be impossible you can always buy cool picture framing and glue onto the mirror!

      Gayle…I’d thought of that too, and the writing on the wall is a BIG reminder to me as I like to plan and control things to make sure they have a good outcome…and you know how will THAT works!!! However, except for a bee, I think I will cover it up because I have MORE stuff painted on the kitchen foyer and it might be too much. I thought I might do a needlepoint with the same message and put it in the bathroom this winter. The room is going to end up with gray/blue walls, white trim, black trimmed mirror, yellow and white towels, and a pop of red.

    “. . . when did “half bath” become “powder room?”

    I don’t know, but it may have something to do with the fact that the room does not contain even half a bathtub.

    Eva,
    I can hardly wait to see the results when you’re finished. I know it will look as great as the rest of your house. Good luck!
