A Wednesday night Bathroom Re-do

Wednesday I had an ambitious idea to come home after work & paint the upstairs bathroom.

Seems like a crazy idea after a long day at work but painting is like therapy for me.  Hard work yes, but hours of me & my own thoughts is priceless 

{because you know everyone leaves you alone when you are doing hard work}

And look at the end result here. . . just beautiful & crisp & clean!

Can't go wrong with that

A stylish Boys bathroom update

I came up with this pretty grayish blue color the way I normally do. . . 

with leftover paint 

Here is the mix of the 2 very pale blue's I confiscated from my Mom

It was pretty but not quite the blue I wanted. . . . so I took this Royal blue left over from my son's room re-do a few weeks ago and. . . . .

started mixing

look how pretty the blue swirls are

but the results were so satisfying. . . .
just see for yourself

I really always have loved to paint a room.  I think it comes form my Mom who never sits still 

{I swear she will paint the same room twice every year}

and from my memories hanging at my Dad's house in Venice Beach every summer. . . I think that was the 1st time I got to help paint a room & it was a fun experience with my step-mom

so between the 2 Mom's. . . I earned a love of painting a room.

So thank you both because ..I am a self-proclaimed room painting rock star!

Now I just need to figure out what decorations to put in their for those boys of mine!

{I see another bathroom post coming in the near future}

**my tip of the day** 

never throw out any left over paint no matter how small amount it is!

you never know when you might need it to touch up a ding spot 

{or use on a craft project to with your newly painted space}

I scraped this little bit into a leftover baby food jar with a spatula. .& honestly to look in the can you wouldn't think there was enough to save but there was a good amount for touch ups.

so never underestimate

So here is to a weeknight room re-do
