When Eric has to leave for several days on business, I take the opportunity to work on a big project around the house. It keeps me busy, I can make all the decisions, and then it's a nice surprise for him when he gets home.
My downstairs bath was driving me crazy. Very boring, and I just couldn't decide what to do with it. I painted it a light khaki, but mistakenly used flat paint, so I had to repaint anyway. I left the ceiling the same color, repainted the walls the same color as the trim (a very light cream) and them added some molding detail and crown molding.

I'm still on the prowl for a new shower curtain, mirror and shelves. I love the way it's turned out so far, though!
Wow, the molding detail adds a lot! Is that hard to do? I love how it looks!
ReplyDeleteGood Job!
ReplyDeleteWow, I am so impressed that you would do a big project like that by yourself. I paint, but putting up trim has always been Brian's job. Awesome job.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm very impressed. Way to go.
ReplyDeleteLydia! You are truly amazing! That is gorgeous!!! I knew you had the itch to do some projects, but this is huge. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it Lydia! Looks amazing! Arnell used to travel a lot and I would do the same thing when he was gone. In fact, I think he was slightly let down if I didn't do anything while he was away. Now that he doesn't travel anymore, my projects have been very few and far between. The recent wood floor has been the first in many years. Can't wait to see you in Feb.!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteSo is this the kind of stuff I will be able to do when my kids are all in school?? I can't wait. It looks fabulous, I am impressed with your skills!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing, Lyd! I'm so proud of you. I have soooo many home improvement projects but my husband doesn't take business trips. I'll have to think of a project while he's on his surf trip to Cabo in May....hmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteI'll be seeing you in exactly one month from TODAY!! We'll be eatting chocolate lava cake on our way to the warm caribbean! Can't Wait!!
I remember those projects! You are so cute! And it looks fantastic! You are so talented!
