Spare Bathroom -so far

It isn't quite done, but I thought I'd give you a little teaser on the spare bathroom. If we work hard, I think it is realistic to expect this to be done by the end of the weekend. Yay!

What we've done so far... I mentioned that the electrical had to be redone when we were expanding the laundry closet. This left us with a big hole in the wall that had to be repaired. Fixing the electric meant changing the door swing to the place it was originally intended, which meant removing the existing door and replacing with a new one. The bead board glue had come loose so it needed to be fastened to the wall again. This time we used nails. The ceiling had an area that needed to be repaired, plus it needed to be repainted and of course, cleaned thoroughly.

I've got to the point of painting the walls with primer and 2 coats of paint. I still see a few touch ups, plus the trim and ceiling still need to be painted. The floor will need to be re-grouted before we put down the floor trim, and we still need to install the new door. But we have made a lot of progress.

The old, very bold turquoise color-

The new colors-

I took one pic with the light on and one with the light off. On the right with the light off is a truer depiction of the yellow color. It is actually the same shade of yellow in the great room of our current home, Behr's Calm Air. The gray aqua color is Behr's Contemplation. Calm Air and Contemplation- good names for a bathroom, don't you think?

There is a tall white cabinet that fits in to the left of the pedestal sink. That has been removed while we work but will be replaced soon. The pedestal will be fitted properly back under the sink and the tank will be put back on the toilet. It is all a process, but I wanted to show you that we have really started work on the main floor.
