Guest Bathroom Makeover

Another delayed house update. When we moved in, the second bathroom was in need of work. When we did our home inspection, we noticed the black spots right above the shower. These are not mold by any means, they were just rust due to the shower liner nails not being rust proof. It was a minor fix, so it didn’t stop us from purchasing our home.

 

John cut out the drywall where the “moldy” looking spots were, but then decided to cut all the way across to give a more consistent look. Here’s the step by step on how he replaced the drywall.

   

And then it was ready to paint! I picked out the color “Sigh” from Valspar. It is a very light blue color. After the first coat, I realized that the color is too light. You can barely notice the blue at all. See below picture after the first coat. It has a slight hint of blue… too light to notice.

Then, I told John I wanted to paint a different color. So we went out shopping for a different color, and we both agreed to get “venus teal” from Behr. This time, the color is a little too dark to my liking. I casually suggested that we get another color, guess how well that went with John? The idea quickly got shot down. The bathroom project has taken weeks to complete and he would absolute refuse to repaint the bathroom for the 3rd time just because my “buyer’s remorse” disease attacked. ;p The color isn’t too bad, it is just different and probably I need some time to get used to it. It is definitely bold. Anyway, here’s our completed bathroom for now. Eventually, we would like to replace the pedestal sink with something more versatile.
