#82 CHECK!!!!

I know that I still haven't blogged about our new home, but that will come in time.  For now, I'll give you a glimpse into one of my joys of our new house (and #82 on my 101 List)...

82. Make a red bathroom

Before we even moved in, Greg and I decided to complete 2 painting projects: Greg's man cave and the half bath.  Greg chose to paint his cave a dark brown...very manly.  And I decided to make another red bathroom.  In my first house that I owned, my realtor came up with the idea to make my half bath red and she bought me this really awesome mirror in Mexico.  Sadly, the mirror had to stay in the house when I sold it, but the idea of the red bathroom, that was stuck in my head for good.

Greg and I went on a little adventure to Home Depot and decided on our paint colors and the supplies we would need.  The next day when I was at work, Greg got the whole bathroom taped and removed all the hardware so that I wouldn't have to do any of that.  So awesome!  Then the painting began.

I was super lucky to have Morgan come and help me.  We took turns on the ladder cause it was wicket hot up above those bright lights.

Finished with our first complete coat...it looks a lot better in the picture than in person.  Red is really difficult to paint with and make look even.  This was the first of MANY coats.

Coat #2 made the situation better but it was DEFINITELY not even yet.

After another 2 coats, lots of touch ups, some traumatic tape removal that took some paint with it, and decorating, my red bathroom is finished almost finished.  There are still some touch ups that need to happen from the tape trauma but overall, I am so in love with the results.  It's just fun to have such a bright and beautiful room for people to use when, well...you know.

Final Results:

The pics definitely don't do it justice so feel free to come on by and check it out yourself.
