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. |

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. |
