🚽 Bathroom Progress Update 🚽

The en-suite bathroom is almost complete! This is a BIG deal because this room was *almost* a deal breaker! It was giving grimy, dingy and dirty. Updating the shower was at the top of my list. I knew it had to be one of our first projects.

Removing the shower doors was the first step. Only one side of the opaque glass opened at a time so they broke up the bathroom into a cramped, compartmentalized shoebox. Luckily, it was pretty easy to learn how to get rid of them thanks to YouTube University. The outdated silver frame was too low. Once we removed that, the bathroom felt much better!

A future version of me is going to teach herself to tile, but that wasn't a project I was ready to tackle at eight months pregnant. Tile paint was a more digestible upgrade at the time. We used it in the shower to lighten up the grey-ish walls and floor.

I purchased a spray and a brush-on kit. While the tile spray paint was easier to use, the brush-on provided more even coverage. However, the foam applicator supplied in the kit fell apart before we finished painting the whole floor and, after about a month, some of the paint on the floor and on the small corner shelves started peeling. I may be tiling soon after all!

Up next on the chopping block were the bulky vanity, ugly sink, and arcane mirror. I found a slightly slimmer, much more modern option and added a sleek black faucet. 

This gorgeous botanical bird wallpaper in bright white and metallic gold adds more light to the windowless room. I papered two walls and T painted a third Frosty Pine by Glidden - the hue of the adjoining bedroom.
