Let the Painting Begin...

When Clayton and I bought our house there was a lot of painting that needed to be completed. Most of the common rooms were painted before we moved in, but there is still a lot to finish.

We decided to start with the some of the smaller rooms, the bathrooms. Clayton's parents came into town, Mona and I painted while the boys did other various things around the house. We got a lot accomplished the first day and slowly started to lose steam.

The guest bathroom was a yellow/beige color that did not go with our black/white/grey theme. We decided to paint over the yellow/beige color with a grey. I took a couple before pictures; Clayton is taking down all the hardware so that Mona and I can start to paint.

The bathroom didn't take us as long as we had originally thought. After we painted the walls we also replaced the light fixture and framed the mirror. We still have some touch up painting to do and we need to repaint all the base boards but overall I think it looks pretty good.
 

After the guest bathroom was painted we moved on to the master bathroom. Our master bathroom was multiple colors, the majority of the room was a light brown color but

the powder room was a very dark dark brown. We had to buy stain killer primer to paint over the brown so that when we came back and painted the light blue, the brown would not bleed through. 

At the end of the first day we had already put the first coat on the guest bathroom and finished most of the master. We would have to touch up a couple places in the guest bathroom and finish up the master the next day. Clayton actually picked up a paint brush and helped with the last little bit in the master.

We also changed the light fixture and framed the mirror in this bathroom. We have more to complete in the master bathroom than we do in the guest bathroom. We have to paint the cabinets and touch up a couple places here and there. We need to hang up all the hardware and put the room back together all the way but other than that it looks pretty good.

We have decided to go room by room and fix them up as we go. The next room on the agenda is to get rid of this awful yellow paint in one of the guest rooms.
