Productive Day

Last Sunday Clay told me to have a productive day while he was working around the house fixing various projects. I decided I would just paint the trim in the downstairs bathroom. We decided that the wallpaper wasn't that bad and we could wait to re-do the whole bathroom. Here are the before pictures:

Here is the picture starting to paint the trim:

After I started I told Clay "Umm we are re-doing the whole bathroom!" 

I really wanted to paint the room a grey color. There are so many greys, I didn't want it to be too dark or too light. Clay went to Home Depot on his way home and picked up some samples. We decided on garnet grey. I had this feeling he should go check the Home Depot by our house. When he returned he had this can of paint: 

 

I don't know if you can tell but the color is almost exact! And the price... $7.00 for Behr paint and primer!! 

Here are some more pictures: 

To save money we painted the mirror and the light fixtures. We also decided to paint the bottom of the cabinet white. 

Once we painted the cabinet white we decided we didn't like it as much because of the color of the counter top. Clay decided to use the glaze again. 

Here are some of the final pictures: 

Total cost of the project: 

Behr Grey paint: $7.00

White trim paint and glaze: already had left over from other projects $0.00

Flat Black spray paint: $1.12

New hardware for cabinet: $10.00

New towel hanger: $5.00

New toilet paper hanger $3.00 (brand new from goodwill)

Total: $26.12

I would say it was a productive few days and we were able to complete the bathroom cost effectively. I am so blessed to have Clay as my husband- he can fix almost anything around here and he motivates me to help too. We are going to take a break from working on the house for the next few weeks. We are going to help Clay's mom paint a room in her house and then we leave for Europe at the end of the month. I can't wait to see this kid! I miss my buddy so much!! 

Everyone have a blessed and productive day! :)
