Well, my spontaneous bathroom makeover is finished (mostly) and I keep suprising the heck out of myself, by achieving a whole new level of tired, from when I first started this project 3 days ago.

This morning, I posted a sneak peek on Facebook.  The color is actually a lot less yellow in person and looks more like lightly toasted, um, toast.

Here's the really cool part:  being pressed for time, I came up with a way to cover up all the imperfections (i.e. wallpapering over sheetrock is NOT a good idea) I texturized (yes, it's a word!) the wall to make it look like stone.

In fact, my husband Garth (NHRN) was SO impressed (okay, more like shocked) that he treated me to a new light fixture.

BONUS!

Quite frankly, I am very proud of myself.  Not only did I actually finish a home project (for once) it looks REAL gosh-darned good, too.

Also, I'm considering submitting my name to the Guinness Book of World Records for person with the most paint stuck, in places a person shouldn't have paint stuck.

Slightly related:  My youngest daughter has a friend sleeping over tonight who, during dinner, seemed a bit alarmed at the amount of paint still splattered on the back of my hands.

"Is it going to stay like that forever?!?"

Yes, I will be forever classic taupe.

BURRRRRRRRP!

"Good one, Mom."

What?!?  Pictures?!?  Oh, yeah, I'm going to post the AFTER pictures tomorrow, when Garth (NHRN) promised to mount my prettiful new light fixture.

Heaven knows I could do with some more blog fodder:  stupid #NaBloPoMo!

Until then, I remain forever yours,

I.M. Tired

P.S. I said mount (HAH!)

[Progress Report:  having nearly painted myself into a coronary on Friday (stupid #NaBloPoMo) it's the big-ish reveal!!]
