bathroom 201: mission complete

good news friends!!!! remember how i had a little freak out about the bathroom in this post?? well, i got over my color indecisiveness and took the plunge. we painted the bathroom!!!!!!!

the colors i went with were from the disney collection at home depot.

first things first, let me just give you a little background on this project. when i had told will that i wanted to paint the bathroom, it was right after we had the living room floors laid and he was a little hesitant to begin another room. i promised him that i didnt need any of his help for the bathroom except for him to tape for me. well months and months went by and for one reason or another i still hadnt gotten around painting the bathroom. then one saturday morning i woke up and decided to bang this bad boy out. will was at work, it was hoopfest weekend, i was bored... it all made sense. so i went for it. and i stuck to my word, i did it all, except he did tape for me and he helped with the removal of the giant mirror, (that i broke while trying to take down alone). 

a few things i learned while painting a bathroom:

1.) they make primer for a reason, so use it.

2.) even though the room is small and there may not be a lot of surface area, obstacles are a pain in the ass.

3.) getting paint in your hair sucks to shampoo out.

4.) straddling a bathtub will get you to use muscles you never knew you had.

5.) when your husband says that he will remove a mirror for you, dont let your ego get in the way. 

anyway, here are some pics of the progress and mess. 

i sent this pic to will while he was at work to let him know that i was thinking about painting the bathroom.

its pretty dang orange.

all done.

i did the ceiling and all the walls except the big one in the lighter color, the big wall with the (RIP) mirror a darker orange and the trim bright white. i like it, will likes it, our friends say they like it. when it comes to sell the house, i dont know i will think it was the best move but hey, its just a bathroom right? how hard could it be to re-paint?? ha. 

here is a pretty before...

and that is that. next big job is going to be the kitchen. and then the kitchen and bathroom floors. eep!!! exciting!!!!
