The Most Fabulous Powder Room

Much to my dismay, the end of the Pros work on our house coincided with me heading back to school, C and N back to school and Matt beginning some epic travel for work.  I was really hoping that I would have all summer to paint the interior of this house as we had planned, but construction goes at its own pace. By the time I am done, every inch will have been painted by yours truly. It is overwhelming if I think about it for a minute. For my own sanity, I just have to tell myself, "Just paint this little bit today."

I haven't been blogging because when I am not taking care of the kids or teaching, I am painting. It is like some sort of painting purgatory!

Wall painting is fun. Ceiling painting is horrid. Trim and door painting is somewhere in-between and there is just so darn much of it.

I have finished all of the wall paint everywhere, except for the laundry room and the down-down stairs (this I am leaving to next summer). It is the trim, doors, and bead board that is killing me.

In any event, here is the most fabulous powder room I have ever seen!

The $2.70 a square foot tile from Home Depot with the dark gray grout turned out better than I had hoped!

I love my 1930's vintage light fixtures with Edison Bulbs. This pic doesn't do it justice. 

Perhaps you were expecting something more.... fabulous?

Well, this is the first room in the house that is completely finished, well minus some decorating, a door knob, and the toilet paper holder attached to the wall, but the point is that it is all painted and things are where they belong!!!! I finished it almost a year to the day after moving. It has been a long, long year.

Plus, also, the other house didn't have a powder room so this one is extra special.

I have ideas of what I would like to do for a better window covering, but that will have to wait until I finish painting! This self-adhesive window film works well for now. I had a plain frosted version up, but it got trashed with the drywall installation. I kinda like the texture this new one adds to the room.

Here is another look at my light fixtures....can you tell I am in love?????

I only have 8 more doors to paint and like 3 million miles of trim.....
