Paintin' the powder room

So, we have been working on painting my bathroom for…oh, about three weeks. And I know you are thinking, “Gee, didn’t I see your bathroom on MTV’s Cribs? It’s the one that is about 2400 square feet with the huge windows and the five walk in closets, right?”

No.

It’s not even that big of a bathroom. There are many reasons why it is taking three weeks (or more) to complete.

1. We have to work on it after my 17 month-old son goes to sleep.


2. It’s hot as hell down here – even with air conditioning.


3. The previous owners painted horrible beige and white vertical stripes on the walls. These stripes not only have to be covered with primer, but they leave a nice vertical ridge where the two different types of paint that they used meet.


4. We have to disconnect the toilet to paint behind it. Fun!


5. We have to sand, prime, and paint the vanity cabinet – not to mention replace the hinges and knobs that were a hideous brass finish and are now a dull, peeling yellowy color.


6. We have to take down an ugly light fixture to paint behind it because we bought a really nice light fixture that does not look like a bad dressing room at a strip club.
