I feel a little strange still posting about the Russet street home now that we don’t live there anymore, but I realized that I never showed you the main bathroom since that post back in 2012 when I said that before I went back to work from maternity leave I would be painting our bathroom. BAHAHAHAHA! I never did that. But I did do it last fall, and never told you. The Behr Swiss Coffee I was contemplating worked great with the tile.
The previous cabinet was cosmetically unattractive, lots of missing paint and dings. The counter top was also, um….terrible. I had spray painted that old laminate top back in 2009 and while it held up surprisingly well with daily use, it was time to go.
We got a new black laminate top from Home Depot with a pretty beveled edge, and a Kohler Archer drop in sink….this sink is huge and I loved it!
When we got the Kohler Memoirs faucet I’ve had for years installed, it was looking great!
I spent some quality time with wood filler, sandpaper, BIN and the Swiss Coffee paint….and the vanity was looking new again.
I also upgraded the outlet switch plates on either side of the main cabinet to chrome…little things like that really made a big difference.
I used the same fabric from the walk in closet window to make a curtain in here, the black ribbon is just tied around the fabric to tie in all the black in the room. I love that fabric, it just works so well in here with the color and the vintage print.
I also replaced the plastic towel bar on the back of the door with a nice chrome one.
The orange Threshold towels from Target match the fabric color perfectly, another reason why Target is a minimum $100 store for me! Overall, I am very happy with the way the bathroom turned out. I’m glad we got to enjoy it for 5 months before we sold.
I will surely miss that vintage tile!
Update: The bank has extended our closing date to May 28th while they work on getting bids for the roof replacement on our Eagan home. The roof must be done before closing, and barring any weird turn of events, Fannie Mae has accepted that they have to replace the roof. YAY for a new roof, BOO for living in my parent’s basement for three more weeks! I hope they let me pick the color of the shingles…
