A Weekend Makeover

The girls and I always tend to get into a little bit of redecorating mischief when John leaves town. Emily's bathroom had been driving me crazy for awhile with the depressing beige paint and the construction grade fixtures.

We painted the cabinet on Saturday.



We painted the walls and hung the mirror on Sunday.



A few finishing touches and the room looks a lot better. It's a much happier room now.

  14. Nice makeover. The blue is much better and I like the new light fixtures. Being the husband and man of the house, I have to know...did John know what was going to happen when he left? I'm sure if he didn't, it was a nice surprise when he returned home. It turned out great. Steve -French Cupboard

  16. Weeehooo, girl power renovating!!! Good for you and your girls -- you did a fantastic job making over this bathroom :-) The blue walls look so fresh and cheery, and the dark vanity & mirror frame stand out so nicely against the blue. Huge improvement with the new light fixture too :-)

  18. Big difference! I so much prefer a nice framed mirror to the huge ones they hung in the 80s. And how perfect did your cabinet turn out - you wouldn't know it was a builder basic vanity! Great job - good colour choices!

If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. No need to point out my mistakes, I have family for that.
