Pink Bathroom

OK, remember how I asked for some advice for my mom's pink bathroom.  Well, you can see from the pictures that I was not stretching it in the least.  I have to say the floor is what is in the worst shape, and it's pretty small so that shouldn't be too hard for us to do.

That's Mr. Wonderful (he's working on the toilet).

I am standing in the tub to take this picture.

I am thinking that we should just paint the top part (the one that is burgundy, now) a lighter color.  That is because it is small and we will probably go with a light colored floor.  I would like to frame out the mirror and either get a  new light fixture or paint the one she has.  I would love to get a new faucet, but not sure if it's in the budget.  I will definitely get new hardware for the vanity.

Any suggestions?

Ready for the weekend!

They are finally calling for a nice weekend and I am going to take advantage of it and possibly work on my coffee table.

If I do, then don't worry, I will take lots of pictures for you.  Also, I could use some suggestions for help with a bathroom.  My mom has pink and burgundy tile.  Yes, I said pink, and it's on the wall.  This bathroom needs a new floor, and we want to update it, but our budget is very tight.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  I am going to take a picture of it and post it so you will see just what I am up against.

HELP!!!!

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!

Things I did. . . . . .

When it FINALLY decided to snow, we just had to go out and play, right?

Sweet BG stayed out all day sledding, and this lump is what happens when you keep running and jumping to get on the sled. 

OUCH!!

While the kids were out playing this is what we were doing.

We still aren't quite finished but at least it is starting to look like it should.

We still have a few more coats to put on but I absolutely love it.

When we get the crown molding up I will take more pictures, but I was just so happy to see it actually look this good.

  PS. I linked up at Thrifty Decor Chick.

New Year, New. . . . Bathroom!!!

Over the Christmas vacation, I decided to take a few days off to spend some time with my sweet, loving family. Not only that, I had a few projects that I needed a little help completing.

I had been wanting to paint the kids bathroom for a while, but I just hadn't decided what color I really wanted. While I was looking around in the paint department, then I found a color that I thought would be great!!! I got it in the mis-tint department.

Here is the bathroom before we painted.


Yes, I did sponge it, don't judge it was the happening thing when I did it.

It really didn't take that long once we got started, it was actually a pretty quick process. The color is a tan color that someone had mixed up and didn't like.

Goody for me, because I really liked it.







It looks kind of gold in the pictures but I think that is just the lighting. In person it looks more of chocolaty color.

So, what do ya think?
