The toilet on the main level (or powder room, for our Yank friends) has been in a state of unrest for about 6 months now. Just after Christmas we began its renovation by removing the hideous wallpaper border that crowns every bathroom in this house (except the basement, which escaped this treatment). We then painted the edges... and that was as far as I got.
Last week I finished painting (guacamole!) and tried painting the vanity. The pic probably doesn't make the doors look that bad, but they are actually veneer over nasty particleboard, which is obvious in person. I messed it up a bit - I accidentally let some paint dry on one side before I was ready and it became lumpy. I had to wait for it to dry, sand it down and repaint it. It's all good now. 
I added some stainless steel handles, a towel ring and tp holder, and voila!

I also picked up a great piece of soapstone for $20, from which we are going to fabricate a new countertop and mount a vessel sink on it. But for now, it looks a million times better already!
Guacamole?... Used to be that people bought Avocado suites then a few years later ripped them out, at least its easier to paint over a dated colour than it is to replace a suite :-)
ReplyDeleteI can confirm that the original look of the doors was hideous. Nice work :D
