Bathroom Make Over In Progress...

While I was stuck at home dealing with my kidney stone I did get a few things accomplished. Couldn't go to the beach because a 4 hour drive was just too far from my doctor and besides if the stone decided to "show out" again I knew all of my screaming and begging for death would disturb my close- in condo neighbors.

Mr. Vintagesouthern and I  had discussed redoing his bath so now was as good a time as any.  The first thing I, he did was remove the hollywood light strip and ugly wallpaper.(I was in pain, remember.)
Then, he we painted it a creamy taupe. The color is Cafe Latte (Kiltz Brand)  and the finish is eggshell.

I decided to ride to Asheville, NC to check out their Hospice Barn. It always has the neatest things and the money goes to a good cause.

Did I ever get lucky. A lighting company had donated boxes of discontinued light fixtures. These were just $15 each. I scooped up 3 for his bath and 3 of a different style for the master bath. (That's a job for the future.)

I know she's  brass but I had plans!


Next thing was to sand it lightly, apply a coat of primer, and two coats of Rustoleum.
Finally, measure, measure and measure again to get her even over the mirror and finished!!




So..... what do you think?     The next thing on the list is to frame the mirror. Any ideas?  I'm not sure what color to go with.


Thanks for dropping by and y'all come back again real soon.
