Girls’ Bathroom redone

I’m excited to post the first pics of our remodeling project!  This bathroom belongs to my daughters, Amanda and Brittany.  Here’s a Before shot, which I forgot to take until after the wallpaper had already been stripped off. (Yes, Brittany will kill me if I don’t mention she spent 6 hours scraping it off the walls herself.)

After I patched the walls, I put on a base coat of green.  Don’t worry, it won’t look like ‘Attack of the Leprechaun’ when I’m finished.  :)

I had fun with the next step sponging the wall.  I used a sponge roller to put on the purple, then used a small craft sponge to add the yellow and blue-green highlights over that.  Then we finished it off  with fairy border, a new mirror, metal switchplates, soap dish and dispenser, and one nifty garbage can–look closely and you’ll see little pink glass heart-shaped beads hanging from it, all nice and girly.  I took the picture before we added the towel hanger sort of over and between the switchplate and the mirror.  Here’s a couple pictures of the finished project:

We could use something on that big empty wall, and we’re going to put in a new toilet after the new tile is installed, but other than that, we’re done in there.

redecorating the house

We are starting to redecorate the WHOLE house.  Yeah, I know, quite a bit of work I’m signing mysef up for, but I’m warped enough to think it might be fun. . . hopefully….until something screws up.

I want to give a room-by-room update, to show how it’s coming, what works, and, probably the things that drive me into a cussin’ fit.

My personal computer is in the shop right now, being operated on by Tony, our computer man.  As soon as I get it back, I’ll start posting pics what we’ve done so far.

Pesci with his doll

That’s Pesci, our mini-lop bunny with the doll he got for Christmas.  Cute, huh? 

I added some of my favorite links to the sidebar today, and I’ll probably add a few more tomorrow.  I’ve been kinda busy lately but I’m trying to to finish setting up this blog.
