Since the flooding issues in our town forced us to evacuate, I have been needing to fill my time with other things. Once the mandatory evacuation was lifted, I started spending day time hours at the house. I painted L’s room, cleaned, and other exciting necessary stuff. I got a while hair to repaint the half bath because my dad is coming to stay and since his normal bedroom and bathroom basically no longer exist due to ground seepage in our basement, I decided that I should spruce up the half bath that he will be using.
This project needed to be done on the cheap since money is tight right now. With plans of redoing the basement, the costs of evacuating, storing, pumps, etc., we have experienced some unexpected expenses. I was fortunate enough to get some paint from my in laws, used some leftover paint from other projects, and a whole lot of elbow grease. I may have lost a few brain cells from the oil based primer and polyurethane, but it turned out great.
Here is a breakdown of what I did:
-Primed and painted the vanity and medicine cabinet (from white to black) -Painted the walls (from mint to a grayish lavender) -Primed, painted, stenciled, and polyurethaned the vinyl flooring -Finished it off with a few decorations
So without further ado, here are the pics:
