Inexpensive Bathroom Re-Do ...in the Colorado Mountains
When I moved into my little condo, there were a variety of projects to do. Money had to be stretched... but I am not afraid of investing "sweat equity." I really like my results... I hope you do too!
I knew it was going to require a primer.
This wall is going to be primed, two coats of white -- and then a grey stencil.
The bathroom had FOUR kinds of tile!! ...One type was on the floor, another on the countertop, 4x4's surrounding the tub -- and this tile with was a "decoration" around the 4x4s.
Obviously, this tile was in a low-use area... I had no trouble priming -- (then painting) and expect no issues in the future.
The walls -- primed. (This light is new too... thumbs down on the old one.)
This paint was leftover -- from another project!
...A (negative) stencil will be applied over this.
Color: "Knitting Needles" (Sherwin Williams)

I did the two aspen leaf watercolors too!
The colored pencil drawing are my work too!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
What stencil did you use for the Aspen trees?
Did Lowe’s cut the wood for u
I’ve been redoing my bathroom and have plans to fame my mirror also. I notice your mirror is installed like mine and I’ve been trying to figure out how to fit the frame without disturbing the mountings. What materials did you use and what steps did you take?
