Finished.....well, really close

The bathroom is almost done! All that is left is to get two new switch plates-we got some but the two by the mirror don't fit-the fancy edge is too wide and runs into the side of the mirror. Now I'll have to get the ones I didn't like as much. Also the line where the paint meets the ceiling could be touched up-some of the paint came off with the tape. But right now I don't feel like looking at any more paint.

For the larger area we decided to paint two parallel walls green and sponge paint with purple and yellow, and do the other two parallel walls like we did in the small room. We thought it would look cool and keep the room from being so dark.

The rest of my "in-between" pictures were not taken in very good light so I'm skipping ahead to the finished product. I know it's what you've all been waiting for anyway!



Other than getting a little paint on the ceiling and on the carpet I only had one significant mishap. While I was cleaning up I realized I'm missed a section of wall while doing the yellow sponging. But I had already tossed out the sponge I had been using and had to use a different one which made different looking marks in that area. Oh well. I thought the rest turned out pretty good.

It looks nice. I like the contrast of the green. I really like green and purple together.
