Who has two thumbs and just used her lunch hour to paint her

upstairs bathroom?


THIS CHICK.  I'm feeling all hardcore, painting in the middle of the day like that.  Also, there's no AC vent in the bathroom, so with the door shut (to keep the dog out while there was wet paint) it got approximately 115 degrees in there, with 98% humidity.  It must be what painting a house in the jungle feels like.  Ugh.

For those who remember the debate, I was unable to sell R on a pink/orange color after all.  We went with SW Dewy, since we already had a can (it was an oops) in SW Duration.

LOL.  If you *really* want a photo, I'll take one.  But I've only done one coat so far, plus the toilet is in the bathtub, there's no trim, and the window is currently (klassily) edged with toilet paper because R is replacing the wood shower-window trim with pvc trim, but ran out of time to actually install it last night, so he just filled in the to-the-outside gaps with TP.

This is home renovation at its VERY best, yo.

I want a photo. I don't care if it is half done... I want to live vicariously. I can't wait to get to actually paint or do something myself. I am kind of going crazy here.

Ok. Here it is, the ugly reality of bathroom makeovers:



Honestly, I don't love the floor. It's too dark for what I'm going for. But it's not something we'll be replacing anytime soon, so I'm going to just have to get used to it. *sigh*

Excellent use of time! Love the color.
Just get a bigger rug and the floor will look fine.

[sierramist03]

Love the color too

[salliekate]

I am in awe. Way to be productive!

Nice color!

That looks normal to me. It looks like good things happening.
