A reveal.

This was our half bath when we walked through the house before making an offer. What this photo doesn't show you was me gagging in revulsion. Notice the light fixture? It was an 'upgrade', and the only light source in the room. I don't know. Maybe the bathroom was originally lit by candles or something. Fetch me my night vision goggles! I'm going in!

And now ladies and gentlemen, behold my husband's dazzling fixer-upper skills...

Crown molding. In other words, E rocked the coping saw.


New 5" baseboard trim work, courtesy of E and his mad mitering and coping skills.


As you can see in the mirror reflection, I'm not done painting, but I recently developed a unfortunate obsession with the show "Lost" and all painting projects are postponed until further notice. So there.


Three sixty-watt bulbs, baby. My life is now complete.


This toilet lever was my contribution to the project, aside from painting. I thought it was noteworthy.

The end.

Beee-u-ti-fulll! It looks great! E should be proud of his skills -- you know the girls like skills! ;) What is the paint color on the walls? It looks like a pale blue perhaps?

LOVE the molding and the baseboards! It turned out very nice.

Love it! We are working on our bathrooms as well right now--time to get my rear in gear so that I can have a "reveal" too!! Very cute!

It looks awesome! The colors you painted really warmed up the room! I love it!

Awesome.

P.S.
"Lost" is sooooo much more important than painting (really).

Wow- I LOVE it and I'm extremely jealous. I have a few light fixtures in my house that are seriously sad and retro. But not retro in a cool hip sorta way. More like "that looks like a light fixture your grandmother picked out 40 years ago" sorta way. But we no longer let my do-it-yourselfer Dad deal with electrical and Keith Harrop almost electricuted himself once when he installed a new disposal......so I just ignore the ghastly light fixtures. They are no wear nearly as cool as the dog made out of tile in the basement floor.
