2nd bathroom progress

Me: "You have nothing to do? Well I have something you can do..."

So began Maddie and Ava's adventure today in spackling all the tiny nail holes in the upstairs bathroom.





Brian has almost all the tongue and groove put up except for around the built-ins. We also need to install the quarter round moulding where the ceiling meets the wall as there is no room for traditional moulding. Then on to priming and painting the paneling. I'm painting it all Polar Bear White which is a Behr color which I will have color matched in Miller or BM paint. Since there is no natural light up there, it should help to really brighten it up.



Before:



We also need to finish the countertop and I need to sew a skirt to hide the pipes underneath until we decide how to finish off that space. The fabric will soften it up in there and add some color.

I'm going to use Amy Butler's Fresh Poppies as I already had it in my stash and it goes perfectly with the pink paint I used on the mirror. I don't have enough so I'm going to see if I can find some cheap coordinating fabric at Joann's or Goodwill. Cheap is the word around here as we try to finish the bathroom using little to no money.


Here's that same angle a few months ago:




My cute mirror that I painted as it was hanging on the wall. I need to glaze it to tone down the color some. This is one nook we are building in. There are two more underneath.

I'm going to be working on stenciling the dining room and Brian will be working on finishing the built-ins. We hope to have it at least primed by Thanksgiving!
