The One Room Challenge-The Sunporch and Master Bathroom-Week 3

Week 3 already?  Well I'm plugging along...

Got the side tables which I'm loving.  So far I really like the lamp in here as well.  It's starting to feel more cozy!

I started up touching up the wall paint in the bathroom.  I don't know what was happening with us the day we painted the bathroom but it looks like a couple of amateurs painted it.  So not a good job.  But it's mostly fixed.  The big hiccup for me came when we got our bathroom closet door back from the place that was supposed to strip and paint it.  The door had a super dark stain on it with missing patches of stain and we could never match it with any product that would make it look nice again so we gave up and decided to paint it.  Honestly, I really wanted a white door anyway.  When we got it back the color was way off.  Maybe because they laquered it instead of doing a semigloss latex like the rest of the trim is?  I don't know but it just looks stupid. So I'm going to have to argue with them about redoing it.  Oh joy.  Speaking of stupid, I had to add to my list of things to do in the bathroom.  I forgot that the pocket doors also have the same patchy stain on them so I'm going to have to paint those as well.  Those we're doing ourselves since it would be difficult to remove them.  I got started on them over the weekend.  Sanding, a coat of primer and two coats of paint later they still look like they're going to need a couple more coats.  So a lot of busy work this weekend but nothing fun...except for those side tables.  Trying to focus on the brighter side of things.

Next week I should be getting the shades.  I can't wait!  The curtain hardware isn't in yet so I'm waiting to start the curtains  I'm probably going to do a pinch pleat but we'll see.  I've made several curtains in my house now and I can honestly say that although they look great, they are a giant pain in the ass to make.  My ceilings are about 11 ft tall so laying out huge pieces of fabric to sew does not get me excited at all.  That will probably be the last project I do just because I'll procrastinate.
