Bathroom remodel

With Brinkley and Briley moving in with us while Richy is gone to Basic Training we had to do a little bit of moving around and fixing up and remodeling. So we decided that the room that my mom use to be in would work best to put Brinkley into. It needed a good paint job and as we moved some of the furniture around we realized how badly it needed new carpet. So on went the new paint and in went the new carpet. But if you look real close at the bathroom at the end of the bedroom you can see that I had a peach colored counter top which I loved when I put in because it was my favorite color and now I desperately wanted to get rid of. Well I found this blog that had a picture of a kitchen where a lady painted her counter top to look like the granite top. So I figured I would try it in the bathroom where not
many people will see anyway and if it didn't look good it was such a small counter that Richard could replace it with a new top if we needed to so I tried it and I love it. You can see a couple of my mistakes but for saying it was the first time trying this I think it looks pretty good.

Here is a look at how the bathroom counter top looked before.

And here it is after. I really like it. Now I just have to see how well it will hold up to the wear and tear. So far so good.




I would love to change my sink and put in a new faucet as soon as i can afford it. A brass one would look good. And I am thinking about painting the cabinets black. Just a thought.

That looks sooo good!! I love it!! I love seeing the updates people do to their houses. We've made it a "hobby" lately to tear things out and fix things and it's fun to see what everyone else is doing!!
