Master Bathroom Phase 1 Finale!

Hey guys! So sorry I haven't been writing lately.
My little Etsy shop has been blowing up for the holidays and seems like the stomach
virus is running through my house like a streaker!

I finally finished my master bathroom phase 1!
I painted all the trim, walls, AND even the floor!

The previous owners had painted the hardwoods before but they were badly in need of a touchup!
Porch and Patio paint to the rescue.

Let me refresh your memory to how we started with it:


And here is how things look now!!


Walls: Behr Admiral Blue
Trim: Waverly Snow White Chalk Paint
Floor: Porch and Patio Paint Tar
Drawer Pulls: Hobby Lobby Clearance
We also spray painted our claw feet gold!



We've recently hung silvery silky curtains over our closet area!


Love it!!

Hallway & Butler's Beer Pantry

I couldn't believe we found a house with a butler's pantry!
Stainless Steel Baking Surface
Glass Display Cabinet
*SIGH*

But then it's lime green. 
With a black and white polka dot curtain.
Mmmmk.


And a random board - is this holding our house up??
Eh - what's the risk? Walls collapse?
Spoiler Alert: It didn't 😃


I painted it Tower Bridge to flow from the kitchen.
It holds my punch bowls and china. 
And the drawers hold koozies and board games haha
P.S. I call it our Beer Pantry because opposite this beautiful masterpiece
is the ugliest beer fridge with brewery stickers all over it 😂
It also used to have a swinging door...but it fell. 😢


HALLWAY!!!
My daughter in her walker - this is the race track to her. 


Lime green & turquoise. 
Deer head.
Brass 3 Foot Tall Chandeliers (BUY THEM PLEASE)

Not going to lie. 12' ceilings. 
They are freaking tall. I'm only 5'3.
This means to reach the ceiling, I have to stand
on the next to last step!
So for about 2 months, this wall was painted up to 6' lol


I cannot get over the dark wood trim against the white.
Makes my heart soar!



Please disregard my leftover spiderweb from Halloween decorations
I couldn't reach it LOL


Cat Photo Bomber - Pennywise my October Kitty



Still have lots of work to do 
Lots of artwork/pictures to hang
New lighting FOR SURE!


Master Bathroom


Did you think you were in a mental institution?
When I first saw this picture - I was like WHOA!
But then I realized it was the before...before MY before.

Here's my before - 
No shower | Child size pedestal sink | No mirror
Weird layout...oh and if you don't shut the door, any passer-bys in the hallway 
can see you on the lou!
And the "distressing" on the white trim? Ew.
Honestly, in person, it looked like a kid played with poop in here....






This room is still in progress. I didn't have the ladder. 
Then I ran out of paint.
So it's in progress. 

I have to finish painting the trim and walls
I am going to repaint the floor and stencil.
I have shelves to hang up and need to get towel racks lol


Our closet. I installed two bars and it worked perfectly.
M keeps his folded clothes in the left cabinet and then my bathroom towels and 
random necessities are in the right cabinet. Bottom right drawers don't have knobs yet so we can't open them lol


This room has a Phase 2 as well.

This wall will house a double vanity with antique mirrors.

Something like this. 

I plan on moving the toilet to where the pedestal sink is. 

Keep coming back! I move a little slow but next post is Butler's Pantry and Hallway.
Then I'll post a full inspiration only post since you'll be all caught up on current projects.
