{Bathroom Makeover}

A few months ago we gave our main-floor bathroom a much-needed makeover.

Let me just give a disclaimer that this room is nearly impossible to get decent pictures of...it's a tight, weird space with bad lighting and a huge mirror. The new color of the walls is quite a bit duller in real life than it looks in these pictures.

When we moved into this house in 2003, I had a momentary lapse in judgement and painted my bathroom yellow. I'd always wanted a yellow bathroom for some reason, even though I've never been a huge fan of the color. I almost immediately regretted it, and THEN...I had another lapse in judgement....that lasted seven years.
It wasn't that I was lazy and didn't want to do the work to re-paint it. Well, maybe I'm a little lazy. But it was mainly because I'm stubborn.
I wanted yellow, I painted it yellow, and I'm darn well going to live with the yellow.
I wonder about myself sometimes.

Anyway...onto the visuals:

Before:

I'll bet you agree...the yellow and blue had to go.

After:

We painted the walls in Behr's Mother Nature:

(I told you the pictures don't show the true color!)

We added beadboard wainscoting and painted it white,

changed out the shower curtain,

and added some fun accessories.

I found this metal clock at a thrift store...it was white but I spray-painted it glossy black and added a new timepiece so that it actually works.

We made some very simple changes over a long weekend and we are loving the results! I should never have waited SEVEN YEARS!
