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
- paint antique dresser from sad yellow to go with everything black, also paint mismatched mirror to match
- put down new vinyl flooring in master bath
- restain vanity from ugly orangy oak to chocolate brown, paint hardware from brass to ?
- clean every inch of entire master suite
- new light fixtures over vanity
- clean carpets
- wash, iron and rehang all sets of curtains and
- scrub blinds, window tracks and vacuum screens
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
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
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,
from New Orleans recently. Sooooo
gooood!
Back to business,lol, ok onward. I changed the flooring to 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.
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
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-
next year:) but check out the warm
beige on this
wall. And this is one of two restained
small dressers we
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!
