when nature calls.

don't worry. this post is simply about updating the blog on the hall bathroom progress...

so our hall bath is one step closer to being finished. when we moved in, it was looking like this.

you saw where we installed a new faucet {despite some plumbing obstacles}. then we got some pretty coordinating accessories from target. like these towels, a shower curtain and bath mats.

and i made cheery artwork.

and most recently, i painted the wooden vanity that was originally this light wood color

and now it's a nice navy blue.

wanna know the best part? the paint was free. zero money. cost me nothing. thanks to ace hardware's free paint saturday they had a few weeks ago to promote the new clark+kensington paint we picked up a free quart of their paint+primer in one {in a shade of royal navy that was a swatch from lowe's}. and although it actually took me over a month to finish painting the vanity, that was due to my laziness not paint trouble. i have to say the paint is really thick {maybe because it's paint and primer in one?} but it still took a few coats to get even coverage, but i tried to do really thin coats to keep it smooth. all in all i think it looks great and i'm glad to have it done.

i still need to find new chrome wardrobe pulls to replace the worn out brass ones. but i haven't been able to find the right size ones. but i did read something about using oven cleaner to strip brass but it looks like a lot of work... maybe i'll just keep searching for the proper size ones for a while.
