On the way home I was looking at country houses pondering the green I had picked out for the house (when Jeff lets me convince him to paint the exterior) and decided green might not be the color! I immediately called him and said, "honey, I don't like green. I'm thinking of grey or blue." Jeff responded, "keep right on thinking." Classic.
From exterior paint my mind made the easy leap to the white walls of our master bathroom. I've been saying that I was going to paint it and even bought the paint several weeks ago, but never actually began painting. I decided, today was the day. Or rather, tonight was the night. My brother, who is currently living with me, helped me remove the bathroom mirror. Josh removed the screws to the clasps at the top of the mirror and it came right off! Two little screws (not even into studs) were the only things holding the mirror to the wall. Amazing. There was a random hole about 1 inch in diameter behind the mirror which will require patching. So, short story long, we ran to Home Depot to grab some drywall patch materials, texture, stain, and sand paper. I got home and started prepping for tomorrow's painting.
Overview of the Master Bathroom - Phase 1:
- Remove towel bars (all four non-matching)
- Remove wood 2x4 with toilet paper holder
- Repair walls with drywall patch and texture
- Paint Reinstall mirror (or if we find cheap framed mirrors at the outlet malls tomorrow replace)
- Sand and stain cabinets
Here are some pictures of the action.
This blog is great! It will be an historical account of your little farmhouse and what it evolves into through the years. You will be glad you kept a record of the before and after so you can look back with pride on what you have accomplished! Love, Houston Mom
