I would rather be sharing the before and after pictures right now of our master bedroom bathroom make over. However, I'm sharing the unfinished project. Before school/work started Danny and I decided that we really wanted to get rid of the unwanted bright flat yellow paint in our bedroom. We needed to make a few cosmetic changes to make our room feel more like us. It took us 2 full weekends. And we just about had it complete, when we met our match on a couple of things. The first problem comes with replacing these closet doors. Our bathroom is very narrow, and is very limited on mirrors, so we decided to make a change and take the old metal closet doors off and replace with mirror doors. Great idea...until you install the first set of doors, and then begin to install the 2nd set to only discover that the remaining 3 doors are missing a critical piece needed for installation. Without going into the very long and uneventful story...a month later we are still waiting for the parts. Needless to say, our project still awaits completion.


Here's a sampling of the small mirrors. But this is looking soooo much better, now that it's got a new paint job. Bright yellow walls and ceiling left a lot to be desired. I was pretty impressed with my amateur ability to pain the chevron design.

The second problem came when it took about 5 times as long as it should've to install the new ceiling fan. And even when we finally got it installed and it appeared to be working fabulously...we ended up with a faulty transmitter. Yikes! We just can't win. No wait, it gets worse. Before the day was over, Esaias ended up accidentally breaking one of the new matching table lamps! 3 strikes and we were done. Thank goodness a day later and with the help of my in-laws, we were able to find another to replace the broken one.
Here sit a month later, and our bedroom is still not completed. Hopefully soon, we can put an end to the never-ending project.
