This bathroom was somewhat of a challenge for Ben and I. I first had a hard time explaining what I wanted to do and picking out just the right colors. We made many trips to Home Depot and had to bribe my sister into helping us get some of the supplies with her truck as big sheets of wainscoting does not fit in our cars.
The before pictures, with the paint samples we were trying to decide on.
Here is the before picture of the mirror (sorry it is side ways, can't figure out how to fix it).
We first painted the trim white, after Ben cut the pieces with my dad.
We learned from putting the trim around the mirror in the half bath that we needed something stronger to hold up the thicker piece for this mirror...
We put lots of tape up... very nervous the liquid nails was not going to hold.
The finished mirror...
Next we painted the wainscoting and then put it up on the wall.
We used liquid nails and nails to hold up the wainscoting, here are some of the tools we used. I recommend wearing earplugs as you hammer in the nails, very loud in a small place.
Ben also got familiar with the spackle, putty knife and caulking gun.
Then we painted, so much fun painting our textured walls! The green was a good choice of color, the bathroom looks like a spa and is so relaxing.
The last thing to go up was the chair rail. We went with a little more detail then the last one.
Our spa guest bathroom...
My dad made us a cute box with the left over chair rail, thanks dad.
It looks so good!! And so much fun. Miss you guys!
