Power of Paint-Before and After of Master Bath

Paint is my friend. I believe in the power of paint. I embrace the changes and happiness it can bring.

When we bought this house in December 2008, the painted walls we inherited did not make me happy. At all.

BBD and I have always been the ones to paint the rooms in the homes we have owned. As you already know, in December of 2008, I was still suffering from the pain that comes with 2 broken vertebrate, I could not walk well, I was suffering from what I would later learn was Multiple Sclerosis, we had a 9 month old baby and my husband had just received a promotion, which meant a lot of traveling.

Having said all of this, we knew painting ourselves was not an option. But hello… I had to have it painted before we moved in. I knew if we didn’t paint BEFORE…it would be a long time before I would get my walls painted.

This is how serious I take my paint: We closed on our house December 5 which was a Friday. The painters were here bright and early Saturday morning. By the time the movers came on Monday morning to bring us our treasures, the only rooms the painters lacked painting were the game room, dining room and office.

{For cost purposes, we did not paint the 2 guest bedrooms,2 spare bathrooms or Monkey’s room. I will also add that I got an amazing deal because of all the business I had referred to our painter prior to this home being painted. He was a great guy to work with and we believed in him. I had used him to paint my 18' entrance at my old house and when I worked for the decorators we would share his name with clients.}

The before pictures below are from the website that listed our home. We actually didn’t have time to take good before pictures.  

Before:White ceilings, gray walls 

After: SW Camelback walls and ceiling

Before: Gray walls, white ceilings    

The closed door by the towels leads to our bedroom.

 

Can you see the difference in what paint can do for a room? Whether the colors I chose work for you or not, you can definitely see the difference in not only how the color changed the room but also the accessories.
The size of the mirror and the cabinets also stand out with paint contrast as well as the accessories. The counter height is 36” and the top of the mirror frame to the bottom of the frame is 62”.

While I love and appreciate all styles of decorating, I tend to decorate with warm colors.

My next project in this room will be to stain the mirror frame to make it look like a piece of furniture.
