After sanding all of the walls, it was time to paint. I figured it would look good to lighten the room and painted the walls the same color as the walls in the living room and kitchen...may help with the flow of the rooms and make the place seem a little larger, so that's what I did. I added a coat of primer first, then followed through with Lowes Valspar Paint in Homestead Resort Cream. Afterwards I taped off the ceiling lines and primed and painted it a bright fresh white. It looks a lot better than having the metallic pewter color.
It started to look pretty good, but I wanted to add a little personal flair to the bathroom and decided to go with beard boarding. I went to Lowes to get some advice and to get the sheets of bead boad (pressed board with a striped pattern) and to use the gift card I got for Christmas that's been burning a hole in my pocket since I got it. I game my dimensions to the guy at Lowes and he looked at me like I didn't have a clue. So my math's not the best, but come on and help a sister out! Finally a lady came around the corner (wish I caught her name) and she came to the rescue. I purchased 2 sheets of the bead board, had them cut down there, trim, finishing nails and a jigsaw. It made for an interesting ride home...Friday night, cruising on Peachtree Rd., convertible top down with sheets of bead board hanging out of the top. Looked something like Sanford and Son...literally people were laughing at me. Took a while unloading and getting it into the house, but was psyched to get started with the installation the next morning. Till next time. Love.
