powder room makeover... amazing what a little paint can do!

so this is our powder "room".

when we looked at the house this was almost a deal breaker.  

you can actually sit on the toilet and wash your hands at the same time, so it's really a time saver.

the previous owners were big birdhouse fans, which is wonderful.  

but not my favorite!  

when we (someday) remodel the house this will become a hallway so we didn't want to put much money or effort into it.  so i decided to paint over everything!

there was even wallpaper on the windowsill and inside the soapdish thingy!

first i primed over all of the tile and wallpaper.

if you try this yourself, i would've sanded over all of the tile after the priming because the brush stokes showed through the paint in some areas when i was done.

and here is the after:

ta da!

those are metal flower kissing balls in the soapdishes above, because who uses real soap anymore?

this was the light fixture that was already here!  i never realized it was so pretty!

here's a close up of the tile

and here's my butterfly art from my last post

i think it's a pretty big change!
