Dear Sis,

So I finished decluttering! Naturally, I’ve moved onto remodeling:) Isn’t that next?

Day One: I filled nail holes and other imperfections with drywall compound and sanded it smooth. I used the shop vac and then dusted very thoroughly from ceiling to floor.  Finally, I removed fixtures and covers so I could paint the ceiling  on Day Two. 

I decided to put high-gloss on all the ceilings and baseboards. I realize that’s a bit unusual! But it makes it so easy to dust the textured ceiling, and it makes the space brighter!!!

Day Three: I masked with Frog Tape and painted the walls.

Day Four: The previous home owners painted without removing the light fixture, so I had to scrape it with a razor blade and scrub it to remove all as much of the paint, dust, and tarnish as possible. 

It was less expensive to replace the shades than the entire fixture. Approximately half the cost! I like it so much better now!!!

I also hung the new mirror. It’s from Hobby Lobby. The room is so small that all the straight lines of the walls made it necessary to find a mirror that wasn’t boxy too! I really hated the old mirror!!! The project actually began in a fit of disgust when I ripped it off the wall, so I didn’t have an excuse to procrastinate anymore:)

I ordered a new hook for the towel that matching our color scheme and airplane theme better. I’ll make sure it is featured in the final reveal post.

It’s funny how the space really began to feel done when the baseboards were finished! Now our half bath is worthy of the new flooring we had installed back in the fall. 

To complete the space, we still need to hang two shelves above the toilet, the new towel hook, and add the decor and storage to the shelves. I’ll post a reveal, whenever I finish.

Love,

b
