Here's the beginning of the story. Like I have said a few times, my girlfriend Lili moved into a new place. The people who lived there before did their best to destroy the place. The bathroom was really hard hit. The landlord repaired a lot of water damage and completely replaced the floor. The bathroom was also painted, but it was painted in a dog shit brown kind of color. And it looked like it was done in a hurry, so it was a piss poor job.
That's where I come in. I had talked to Lili about painting the bathroom and doing a little remodeling on it. She completely agreed. Luckily, I have a lot of tools and such so we kept the cost down. We only had to buy one gallon of wind swept blue paint, and the landlord will take the cost off the rent. So really, we are keeping the cost of this project way down.
As always, I have taken a bunch of pictures. That way, you can really see the transformation. First off we start with the "before" pictures.
So yeah, you can really see that it is just a terrible brown color. Next up comes "the taping." Honestly, we put painter's tape everywhere.
We decided to put the blue down first. There was more of it, and all the trim was going to be white so it only made sense.
Of course there was a lot of things that happened in-between pictures, but I am doing the Cliff's Notes version of things. That, and with pictures. Next up is our finished project. Let's look!
What an awesome outcome. With a lot of hard work and elbow grease, everything just fell into place. The bathroom looks really inviting with the new colors and a brand new shower curtain. And I'm proud to say we did it without me and Lili trying to kill each other. So in closing I want to say I am really excited about this, but would also like to thank my little helper. That would be Monster the Dog. (See picture below.)
