Board and Batten Bathroom


Here are the before's. 



Mr. Wonderful and I took everything off the walls and started getting our boards cut for the walls.









After what felt like a very looonnng two weeks, a lot of snow, a whole lot of prayer, it is finished.
Well, almost, we still have to paint the doors and the floor molding, but for the most part we are finished,








The light was a bright shiny brass, and I happened to have some spray paint that could only make this light better, so I couldn't wait to get it painted.

My top color is Honeysuckle beige by Valspar and the bottom is just a classic white high gloss.

I followed to same measurements as Domestically Speaking and I am
so pleased with my results.
I have seen the top board not a thick as this, but I really like how it looks.
We had planned to take our large mirror and have it cut down,
 but while we were at the home improvement store we
 found these, and while you can't really tell it now, they match the
light. 

 I absolutely love, love, love it.

What do you think?


PS.  I linked up at A Soft Place to Land for DIY day, and It's so Very Cheri!
