Master Bathroom Update

The walls in the um toilet area are finished. It's impossible to get a good photo here.

First, before I forget--that is just a tablecloth tucked over the window. I was trying it out for color's sake. I want to have a clean neat look and I think I want to use white. More accesorizing will be coming. Do you think I can find a simple white valance anywhere? NO!!!!!! The one shot I finally had was Target where I stood and stared at the empty peg where the white sailcloth valances were supposed to be. I doubt Target is continuing them because the website has other colors in that style but no white. However, let's not get hung up there. Let's move on with what is done so far.

Mr. H used a wall finishing product by Behr that we do not recommend. We will not be using it on the other walls! It was messy and difficult to get even.

We put a new flush handle on. Amazing what small changes can do.

And in case you were wondering, here's the new TP hanger. Mr. H was really just kidding about the ones I showed you the other day. But hey, if he had a lodge in the woods I could go for one of those choices. We changed our faucet fixtures to satin nickle and brass a few years ago so we're keeping everything in that vein metal-wise. I have to ask, are you an over or an under? My TP has to go OVER!

Now before I do a big celebration dance I must remind myself what the rest of the bathroom looks like. I had to be careful I didn't spackle my face instead of putting my makeup on. Maybe I should try it anyway!

Let's see what I can point out in this next picture besides a giant ladder. The pink valance--gone since the photo was taken. The brass shower enclosure--getting estimates for a new one. I'll explain more about why later. The chandelier over the tub? We put it up a few months ago--need to lower it some. Ah, and the wallpaper stuck on like super glue? It's still there. Wait.......drum roll please...... Home Depot man says Behr primer is amazing and we can paint over the paper. We're going to try it!

Now, let me go on record here. If the wallpaper ever started to peel after it has been such a challenge to get off.......if that were to happen......I'm not stripping it. I will put the house on the market and sell it as is. Period! All you kindred spirits who also have wallpaper removal woes, please hold our hands through this part.

Oh, before I close let me be indulgent and show you a Chelsea video in the bathroom. You'll have to tilt your head sideways because I forget I can't turn the camera when I take a video. Oops. She's still just as cute sideways.

I'll never buy her another toy--she doesn't need them ;-)
