Bathroom Halfway There

Existing vanity painted in a french grey.

Placed the large mirror here today but think that definetly needs to be painted white. Not much I can do with the terracotta tiles but thought a large white rug would be nice. Just have to find it now.

I didn't think I would get this far today but its amazing how much you can get done when you have a day to yourself. I started painting early and by lunch time I had the second coat on. Painted all the bathroom walls in Antique White USA and the vanity paint well thats was a find left here from the previous owner. Don't know whats its called all I can tell you is that its more grey than blue and cost me nothing so even better. Actually the whole small reno cost me nothing it was all things that I already had and makes a big improvement to what it was. Think it turned out a tad more shabby than french and think by the weekend it will be different again.
Did you notice that I painted the tile border around the top of the vanity. I also used the same handles that were originally on there.

You are a speedy gonzales in the way you work - nice colour choice for the cabinet and I love that massive mirror. Those terracotta tiles must really annoy you though!
