The Long List

The bathroom with three doors has been on the restoration list since day one.  Since we had a plan, we’ve been living with ‘it’.  ‘It’ being an aged white on white, with holes everywhere from old screws that had been removed, tired and forgotten room, except this is ‘the’ complete and working bathroom for all to see and use.  I walked through there the other day (yes, through, because one must go through it to get to the laundry room) and was mildly horrified that we’ve been living with it this way for so long.bath beforeThree years into this massive restoration, I’ve finally realized that the long list could take some time.  Off I went to the paint store, because this just had to change….even if it does still have three doors.bath before 2With paintbrush and roller in hand…a light grey-blue was applied by me, Chief Painter of All.  bath afterI have something of a love/hate relationship with painting.  I hate doing it, because doing it well is hard, but I do LOVE the difference it makes.bath after 3My favorite part is the water heater cubicle, with a repurposed shed door to hide it and the steamer trunk for storage.  The room is not done or off the list, but it is better and I can enjoy it every time I go to do the laundry!bath after 2

    As my friend Ellen says “It’s only paint!” … which inspires me to paint without worry. Love your creative make-overs.

      Thanks Dianne!

      It is from Sherwin Williams, (sign up for their membership and they almost always have discount coupons and excellent paint). I think it is North Star.

      Thank You!
      New paint is always so nice! The shed door heightened to cover the water heater just makes me happy.
