Upstairs Bathroom

Wednesday, March 30, 2011


  So the main Guest Bathroom upstairs was in interesting condition when we first arrived.  Starting with the soft pink rose colored walls (pictured here), and a white/pink/gray colored linoleum tiles (bleh).

  I spent my very first day working at the house (literally DAY 1), taping off the bathroom.  I couldn't stand the pink, it had to be changed asap!

  Missy had not given us any of her color choices for the bathroom, so she left the decision up to me.  I knew that unfortunately the linoleum was going to have to stay (for at least the first few months, or year) until money-wise they could afford to change it.

  So with that information at hand, my Dad and I headed down to Henry's Hardware to pickup a Valspar paint.  I'd brought a picture of the tile into the store to try and match some kind of color.  I ended up picking a color called "Beluga Mist", which was a medium/light toned gray.

   My Dad was suspicious of my choice at first, but once it all dried he was very pleased with house it turned out.  It's a nice cool color, and it makes the weird linoleum.  Since it is such a neutral color, it leaves Missy plenty of choices for accent colors for the shower curtain, towels, etc.

I complained to my Dad about the stained cream colored toilet seat (pictured ON the toilet) that doesn't match the white porcelain toilet, so he bought a new one for me to install!  Yay for new toilet seats!

Also pictured above you may notice the white legs of the sink, (in previous picture they were a silver chrome color), my Dad had the genius idea of getting a white spray paint and it really worked out well!
