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
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
~Happy Creating
