Medicine Cabinet
Paint the vanity with BIN
paint, open a window when using this, use a sponge brush a regular brush
won't work.
Install new silver knobs and
hinges on vanity
Install the faucet
Still To Do:
Flooring (not sure if I will go
with Marble tiles, vintage looking hexagon tile or Hardwood).
Built in glass front cabinets
and three drawers below (see photo below for my inspiration of this)
Possibly putting in a claw foot
tub, otherwise a new tub with white subway tiles.
Inspiration:
My inspiration for this room
come from a picture of a house that was for sale in my neighborhood.
I chose a similar color and
painted my down stairs bathroom and decided to paint my upstairs bath
in the same color except in
that bathroom I would copy the picture and use beadboard and paint the
vanity white. After
painting both bathrooms I realized I loved the color in the down stairs
bath but
hated it in the usptairs
bathroom so I decided I wanted a more vintage looking bathroom from
there
I primed the walls and repaint
them in the new color Icelandic Blue.
Process:
I started out by painting the whole
bathroom in Sherwin-Williams Macadamia. Installed the light
fixture
faucet & medicine cabinet. Painted
the vanity with BIN paint. Drilled holes in the doors for the new
knobs,
put the new hinges on. Put up
the other hardware. Decided to change the wall color so I primed
the
whole bathroom and painted the top
half in Icelandic Blue. All that's left to do is flooring!
