Busy project weekend~

We tackled many projects this weekend. Still working on the bathroom... we're almost there!!

Lot's of spray paintin' went down on Friday.

Here is trim for the bathroom~

Coat rack my mom gave me, I think she got it out of the trash~

Cute little deco shelf for my bathroom, resale shop $3.00

A shelf my SIL gave me. Painted black for my laundry room~
Plate rack I got at the resale shop for $8.00. Had Kevin cut some beadboard for the back and I'm going to paint it cream. What a joke. This thing is impossible to paint. I'm going to have to try and do it by hand! UGH! This will go in the dining room.

Came back outside a few hours later to do another coat on the hat rack. I'm spraying along and it starts to do this crackle effect! I HATE when nothing goes as planned. I don't know why it would do this, the first coat was perfectly smooth. Too humid I guess. Oh well, I'm going to go with it. I'll put a stain over top so it will look old.
I finished another project too, but you'll have to wait for that in another post!

Potty break!!

I'm going to jump out of the home tour line up and and show y'all what we're up to right now. We are working on our downstairs bathroom. It's right off of the kitchen. I believe the kitchen used to be one huge room, and this was sectioned off as the home needed another powder room. Having a potty next to the kitchen isn't the most appealing~ but with an old home you have to take what you can get!

Here are some photos from when we moved in. I hated that fish border. Sorry Sebastian, it's NOT better "Under The Sea" and this border and tile have GOT to go! Nothing like getting that song stuck in your head every time you went in there~

Buh-bye fish border!!

Got the border down and it looked SO much better already! Another issue is that the sink was butted up to the window, in which they "cut the trim to fit"... ugh. The sink should have been centered on that wall and it's been driving me crazy.

Here's a little video I took before we got too far along with the redo~
(I opened the medicine cabinet doors so you couldn't see me in the mirrors, *snort*)

My idea for the tile is to use epoxy tile paint. Then put up beadboard. Here's the paint~

Only trouble is, the humidity can't be too high or the finish won't be glossy. I really wanted to do this over Memorial weekend! But we've been getting so many storms the last few weeks! We got a good 5 inches the other night.

(It's hard to get our grass cut!)

Rain, rain go away! I want to paint my tile today!!

(Hear the sirens?)

I'm not going to share which color I decided on. You'll have to come back and see! I would like to be finished within a few weeks, and I hope you like the results!

Today I'm quite frustrated with painting issues, but I'll go more into that later...
