Spring Cleaning Projects Begin!!!! Master Bed and Bath




Hey y'all! I have been so busy I haven't had time to swat a fly. I told you last time I was working on a little master bath spruce-up. Well, it took forever but I am finally done. Here is the list of projects I had on my spring cleaning list I was able to mark off.
      1. restain 2 small dressers in my bedroom. They were just old and beat up and looking dated

  1. paint antique dresser from sad yellow to go with everything black, also paint mismatched mirror to match
  2. put down new vinyl flooring in master bath
  3. restain vanity from ugly orangy oak to chocolate brown, paint hardware from brass to ?
  4. clean every inch of entire master suite
  5. new light fixtures over vanity
  6. clean carpets
  7. wash, iron and rehang all sets of curtains and 
  8. scrub blinds, window tracks and vacuum screens
  9. paint and clean inside closet
    paint accent wall behind bed
So here are a few before pics and then I'll give you the “BIG REVEAL” lol


now this “lovely” flooring was in both upstairs bathrooms when we bought
the house 3 years ago.








 this is the ugly oak vanity and brass hardware








ugly builder grade light(this one is actually in the hall bath cuz
I forgot to take before pics) as you can see it is broken and is also on the
list, just haven't gotten to it yet








AND NOW THE BIG REVEAL!!! DANHDAHDAHDANHHHHHH!    
OMG!How much better is that? And these aren't even high end lights!
But such a improvement over those horrible gold toned hollywood
hideous ones! And you can see the beautiful new paint color too!
It's the shade of a fresh praline! Mmmmmm....speaking of that,
makes me think of the delicious fresh beignets my husband brought me
from New Orleans recently. Sooooo gooood!

                                                                 Back to business,lol, ok onward. I changed the flooring to this
ok, so I should have swept the floor before I took this
picture but you can see the dramatic change! And I did it
all by lonesome in just 1 evening. First time ever removing
baseboards or laying flooring!
And this is the redone vanity! No more ugly orange oak.
The entire room is changed with the 3 little projects I am showing you!
New lights, tile, and vanity redo. Those are even the same brass knobs.
Just with 3 coats of spray paint and clear sealer!






And this is my coffee bar, champagne and cool whip
fridge right next to my vanity. I love this!!! I can live solely
in my master suite the whole weekend without leaving!
(Not that I ever have gotten the chance to do that but I could.lol
















And this is the soaking tub(which we swore we would              
use and rarely do)














Now on to the closet!
Yes, I painted the inside of my closet bubblegum pink. It was leftover paint already
in the house when we bought it and there was a ton of it. This is the
color the entire back of the first floor was painted when we bought it!
(I primer'd over it the day after closing on the house)
But it is cheerful and girly in the tiny amount you see inside the closet:)






And on to the bedroom-                                              
ok, ignore the ugly carpeting, it is on the list for
next year:) but check out the warm beige on this
wall. And this is one of two restained small dressers we
use as nightstands.














 
Here is the antique dresser and my mismatch mirror that now all match!
It is so awesome what paint can do!














So that is mostly what I have been doing for the last few weeks.
And I am happy with the results. Still some projects I want to do(like framing
out that giant builder mirror over the sink) but for now I am on to another
room to clean and repair and keep marking things off
my spring cleaning list. I do love to mark things off my list, lol, I get such
a sense of accomplishment!
