Well, look what we have here! The master bathroom makeover three years in the making. Or at least three years in the thinking about and a year and a half or so in the making. Today there will be many pictures and then later on I’ll post a source list and probably have a couple of small posts about … Continue reading
What’s that you say? You can’t stand to go through another weekend without seeing just a little more of our in-progress-since-the-beginning-of-time master bathroom? Right. Well, this post is for you, then! I always feel a weird explaining/apologizing about projects taking (much) longer than I expected. Because, I mean, I don’t think most people are losing sleep over our master bathroom … Continue reading
Post contains affiliate links. Thanks for supporting Boxy Colonial! I made the title all dramatic, but, really, we’re pretty much (finally!) finished with the trim! We still need to touch up (it turns out leaving painter’s tape up for weeks means you peel a lot of paint off the ceiling when you take it down. Oops), and there are still … Continue reading
What I’m trying to do here, see, is to string this out until I have an actual finished bathroom to show you. I’m not sure if it will work. But the idea is that, once the painting’s finally finished, everything else will come together quickly since Dave will be all finished with school. And I can do a real room … Continue reading
So maybe when you look at these pictures, you’ll think I’m cropping them very carefully so as to avoid spoiling some amazing project we finished and are saving up for another post. But no. It’s that 1. this bathroom is huge, but fairly narrow, so kind of hard to photograph from certain angles and 2. everywhere else in this room … Continue reading
Hey, did you know that time actually slows down when you’re painting trim? Like it absolutely feels like you will be doing it for the rest of your life. True story. So I can’t show you any finished trim in the master bathroom until I dive into the time warp again a few more times, but it IS happening. This … Continue reading
See that blue wall reflected in the mirrors up there? You weren’t supposed to see that. We have the paint for the wall opposite the mirrors, and we fully intended to have it all done for this post. But then Dave managed to pull a tendon or something in his hip, an injury that Google tells me is most common … Continue reading
Post contains affiliate links; thanks for supporting Boxy Colonial! Bam! Four posts in one week! Just like old times. Pre-toddler times, that is. Above the big old messed up builder grade mirror in our master bathroom hung this not so messed up chrome vanity light: I actually kind of like the shape of it….it has some art deco-esque kind of waviness … Continue reading
Let me tell you about our bathroom in our first house, in Dorchester, MA: I don’t have a picture of the bathroom handy, but I found this one that will give you an idea of what ours was like: Source Only ours was MORE pink. Pink tub. Pink sink. Pink toilet. Pink tile on the floors and two thirds of … Continue reading
