Downstairs Bathroom: Part 2

by

Alright kids… I can sense the anticipation for the outcome of the downstairs bathroom, and so I shall withhold from you no longer. I know it’s not anything too extraordinary, but it is FAR superior to it’s previous state of existence.

I realize that the burnt orange is a little obnoxious, but you have to consider the fact that I’m a little obnoxious, and it is my house after all. And, don’t quote me on this, but I think it might be one of the things that my smokin hot husband actually likes about me. Crazy boy.

I photocopied a design (that is actually on the cover of my Bible) onto a transparency, and projected it onto the wall, traced with a pencil, and painted! It was super easy! I thought this room could use a little visual interest. And, since my home is a relatively permanent fixture in my future, I need to continue to elicit my creative side so I don’t go CRAZY from all the harmonious stability. Creativity is my outlet.

UPDATE! We’ve had TONS of requests for the image that I used to project my design onto a wall, so I’m just going to give it to ya right here! Please note this is not my own work. It’s actually the design on the front of my Bible. I just scanned it, sized it, and printed it onto a transparency. So that’s why the image is pretty globby. It’ll still work though! It did for me!

    I am so inspired by your work!! We are currently redoing our kitchen after some water damage. You 2 have an amazing chemistry to accomplish such beauty in your home. Thank you for your wonderful ideas, I will be using many of them in the near future.
    Warm regards,
    Sunnie
    PS Have either of you had any experience with crown molding for cupboards? Corner cupboard is giving us an awful time with the angles…can you help? Thanx..Sunnie

      We’ve had enough requests that I added the image to this post so anyone can get their hands on it! Don’t know why it took me so long. If you have problems, let me know. Good luck! And send pics when you’re done!!!

    Obnoxious? Heck no! More like OUTSTANDING. But then I’ve never been one to be accused of being soft-spoken either 😉 If you tell me this was free-hand I hate you. Seriously. But it still rocks.

    I agree the “before” was hideous! The “after” is incredible. Some may not like burnt orange, but it totally works. And the mural is so not too big!
    I have been lurking around reading your blog off and on… and I love it! It has been fun to see all that you have done with your house. I also like the first bathroom redo!
