Are you feeling blue?

Need a break from the weekend!

I still can’t believe what I have accomplished on Saturday! I finally painted the downstairs' bathroom! I wanted to paint it dark brown but was reminded that anything dark uses a clear base which means at least four coats of paint.

No thanks.

I ended up choosing a not-so-light blue shade “Thunder Bay”. After the first coat, I was a little concerned that the blue was too blue. It looked like the original blue colour that was in the upstairs' bathroom, which I happily painted over. After the second (and last, phew!) coat, the colour darkened a bit and I love it!

The Hubby left all the painting to me. He had his fair share of painting in our first condo and has vowed never to paint again. So I was very pleased and happy when he offered to help a little! He helped unscrew the light switches, towel holder, took down the mirror, swept the cobwebs (yes, I need a maid!). He even helped me paint the areas that were hard for me to reach! While I was painting, he was in his office (which was next door) working on his scripts. It was nice because even though I painted by myself, he was close by.

So, it took me six freakn’ hours to paint this small bathroom! Oy!!!

On Sunday, we hung up a few pictures in the washroom. And we went out and bought a nice shower curtain! We also went to a few places to find a new mirror. We found one but it was $50.00. A bit too much for us to spend right now. We are not desperate so we can wait until the next sale. Maybe I’ll ask The Hubby to hang the old mirror tonight; it feels a bit strange using the washroom without a mirror.

I was also thinking of painting a feature wall in the basement but not sure if I can pick up a brush for another while. It’s a lot of hard work!! Though, I think the one wall is much easier than painting the bathroom. We’ll see, maybe next month.
