bathroom: improvement?

so, here is the moment you have all been waiting for! the repainting/de-pooping of the powder bath! this, of course, is the BEFORE picture. you can note the lovely, metallic-copper faux poops meticulously sponged everywhere in the bathroom. yes, even under the vanity and i found one near the floor behind the toilet! the artist was truly amazing in their commitment and thououghness. also, don't forget about the black and gold border around the ceiling, which should have really been photographed in detail so you could see all it's splendor. :) without further ado, i present, the AFTER! (scroll down)












ta-da! truly an incredible transformation, if i do say so myself. i really should have my own show on HGTV or Discovery channel, don't you think? and all it took was 3 applications of wallpaper stripper, about an hour and a half of taping, 3 coats of primer on the poops and 2 coats over the entire walls, plus a heavy coat of green paint. now, rather than an abhorrance and embarassment, my powder bath is a serene spa-like retreat. if only it were bigger i would spend lots of time there. it's quite relaxing and serene. :) why not schedule your reservation today and experience it for yourself!?

No way that you discovered a faux poop thoughtfully placed near the floor behind the toilet...I loved that!!
Are you certain you couldn't have left just that one. ;)
The new look is fabulous!
