Bathroom Redo....again!

Alrighty, so although I really, really need to be working on finishing the basement, I spent the afternoon repainting my bathroom. I know I just redid it recently, but that was when I thought we'd be selling the house. So I set it up to look all home-stagey and normal. It was very pretty, and the farthest thing from anything even close to my aesthetic. When we decided that we would renovate instead of sell, I knew that colour had to go. It was a nice Robin's egg blue, but it just seemed so out of place (because it was...) that I had to start again. Frankly, I'm surprised I waited this long. Then again, I'm incredibly lazy. So, here's Bathroom Redo Number Two. Haha, NUMBER TWO! And it's a bathroom redo! Get it? I totally went there! (In addition to being lazy, I am also immature. I am quite a catch.)

First the "Before" photos (i.e.. Home Stagey)

"Aerial View" paint. (A CIL colour that I had done in Behr Premium Plus Ultra paint.) I still like the colour of the cabinets, but if I were to do it over again,  I'd never get a flat bottom sink. It gets soap scummy very easily, and I'm always cleaning' that thing.

The tree shower curtain, while really pretty, was a little too bleak for me, so I replaced that too, and am passing on the tree to a friend for her future bathroom update.

The floor (Allure Trafficmaster) has held up very well, and I love the grey.

If you know me, you understand how ridiculous it is for me to have anything so pretty. Passing the Laura Ashley (Yeah. I somehow own Laura Ashley items) baskets on to my cousin who I think will like them.

The faux art AKA  "Faaaaaaaaart" is long gone. The cabinet is IKEA. This is the best photo of the former colour.

And now for the "After" shots! (MUCH more my speed.)

That's a heck of a blue (Gem Turquoise, Behr)

Gringo likes it, but he likes everything.

Purple tub!

Crazy shower curtain (from Bed, Bath & Beyond a few months ago. I don't think they have it anymore.) IKEA chandelier, that my husband just noticed. ("That's been up for a year, dear." "Oh. Well, the blue really makes it pop.")

Now I'm happy.
