Good morning, everyone!
How are you?
I am so glad to see you!
I'm meeting you in my bathroom today.
LOL! Weird place to meet, I know -
but I wanted to share some befores and afters with you for Metamorphosis Monday!
(Meet us all over at Susan's at Between Naps on the Porch here.)
I fell in love with this room the first time I walked in to it. The beadboard. The high ceiling. The beautiful shimmering glaze over the white paint. A pedestal sink.
The original clawfoot bathtub!
It was love at first sight.
I originally brought in some seaside inspired treasures to try to brighten the room up a tad,
but quickly discovered that it was just not enough.
Hmmmm...something was still wrong.
Ugh! Like the icky brown window trim.
(All right, stop drooling over my tub. I know you are...)
Ugh! And the icky brown Victorian-looking linen closet.
So dark and gloomy.
Now take a look at the afters....
After a weekend of serious 9-5 painting, the entire 'feel' of the room was changed.
Lighter. Brighter. Very much more coastal beach house.
Very much more to my liking.
Amazing what a little white paint will do, huh?
From dark Victorian...
to vintage coastal!
Actually, I even painted the bottom part of the tub, too. The original color was dark green. Double ugh!
The bathroom door trim was on my radar, too,
so I primed that next.
Ta da!
(Yes, I can read your mind, and yes, I really really wanted to paint that door - but I didn't want hubby to have a cow. He was already going to have kittens over the fact I painted that linen closet.)
I added a beachy wire basket to hold the rolls,
and the transformation was complete!
You like?
Cheers to white paint!
{And hugs to you!}

(Oh, and before I go....do you think I should paint that little cabinet over the loo?
Would love to hear what you think! :) )
