Before the fire pit/fire place project I knew I had to complete a project I started back in March--painting the guest room. We had some water damage to the wall from when we moved in. I thought I would have to replace the sheetrock and at the least use Kilz Paint. Prince Charming challenged me stating that Sherwin Williams paint would probably cover up the water stain. HE was right! (This never happens!) How dare I doubt SW Paints. They really are worth the price you pay.
I had just ran a roller over the stain and didn't do it up and down, but nope, sideways, thus forcing me to paint the entire room. NOOOOOooooooo. I have always wanted to do stripes, so now was as good as time as any. I spent Father's Day 2017 taping, measuring, taping, measuring. The room was a nice Satin and I added a beautiful flat. It coordinated with my nautical, beach loving theme. It is perfect.
I also decided the bathroom mirror needed to go. It is the Construction Grade mirror and I hate those things. I had a lovely framed mirror from Kirklands hanging out in the storage room. I took a hammer and a crowbar and removed said mirror. In the process of removing the mirror I totally destroyed the sheetrock. I had to get out the putty knife and fix/patch the damage. I then got to visit my lovely SW store and picked up paint. THEY matched 13 year old paint from a CHIP the size of a french fry. It was amazing. Matches perfectly.
I felt like a Mouse who got a cookie on this project. (Haven't read the book? You should. It is hilarious!) As I was painting around the light fixture I noticed it was rusty and horrible. Prince Charming took it down to spray paint it and fix it up again. HA! For once even he couldn't polish the turd. We went to Menards and got a new fixture. The bathroom and bedroom are done and look fantastic!
