Master Bath Feels Complete

The transformation of our bathroom has been an on and off again endeavor for years!

I would update something and sit and stare at it for months until coming up with something else to do.

A few coats of  Stamped Concrete by Sherwin Williams freshened things up.

The curtains and the candelier looked fine when the bathroom was red. It looked awful with the gray.

The curtains were so wrong so I 

made new brown ones.

 Much better.

I deblinged the shower. Here.

We took down the builder mirror and put up mirrors from Kirklands.

.Mr. Bill made a new false front for the tub.

I painted the vanities.

This was so much better but something was still wrong.

I made new white valances for a crisp and clean look.


These faucets tormented me with their blinginess.

I tried stripping the lacquer off the faucets so they could begin to tarnish.

Lifetime warranty American Standard faucets are impenetrable to any solvent.

It only made them shinier.

I gave up and finally took the plunge with my favorite Oil Rubbed Bronze Rustoleum Metallic.

I taped everything.

Some bloggers have taken the faucet off, I was afraid that if I took them off they would never go back on these sinks. That is why I didn't get new faucets. Walmart had some cute nickle ones for only $39.00.

 Get it here.

But last time we had a sink issue we couldn't get the drain to go back on correctly. I know that these sinks will have to go in a few years and I didn't want to invest in a faucet with an eight inch spread when I will want the other kind if we have a stone counter.

I used a lot of plastic everywhere to catch the 
overspray.

I used ugly Christmas wrap to cover the counter.

Paint in a well ventilated area.

Use a mask.

Spray the paint from every angle that you can think off and then some.

I took off the paper and wasn't wowed like I was downstairs.

I was completely in love with the powder room.
The powder bath has such a warm tone with Kilim Beige from Sherwin Williams.
   
It took me a little while to get used the dark faucet with the cooler toned walls upstairs.

The room needed more so I sprayed the light fixtures.

I had to go back and hit them with a tiny bit of gold.


I used Ebony Buff and Rub on my little picture frames and mirrors.

Oh my gravy! 

I love it now.

I didn't do the drain spouts. They were already nickle for some reason they never matched the old faucet and I wasn't sure how the paint would hold up on them.

 The Wedgwood vase and napkin ring got pulled from the guest room. The jar is Avon that I found at a garage sale for 25 cents. It got a run through the dishwasher. Lotion looks so much prettier in it than it the container it came with.

The faucet downstairs was done three months ago and the finish has held up fine.

 It finally feels restful and finished!! 

A stack of fluffy white Tommy Hilfiger towels from Big Lots and we are good!
I realize that the rest of my metals in this room are brushed nickle but we are okay with mixing the two for the time being. 
This little bird sort of typifies the space, 
dark, wonderfully tarnished silver.

Hello cutie! I am completely smitten.
Cost for this part of the makeover?
$6.98 for the spray paint. 

Sprinkled with closure,
