Guest Bathroom Update.

We installed a new light, new hardware, and a new mirror (well, not really new, it's the mirror from the living room). The hubby was kind enough to patch the random hole and re-texture the wall. I painted it Gobi Desert by Behr. Still beige, but a nice sandy beige rather than the sponge-painted Bandaid pink/beige nightmare that was in there before. It was the last room in the house that still had that color in there, and it feels amazing to have it finally gone.

A few things left to finish: find a towel bar that coordinates with the other satin nickel hardware, replace the faucet (also in satin nickel), paint the trim white, and possibly paint/stain the vanity a dark espresso brown.

There's a Hole.

Well, after bugging him for a month or so, my husband got started on some of the updates for our guest bathroom. He scored some free satin nickel hardware from work.

He took down the builder grade mirror, only to reveal a fist-sized hole in the wall with no obvious purpose, except maybe access to the pipe? Since the new mirror is smaller and doesn't cover the hole, it has to be patched, textured and painted.

There was also apparently no junction box or stud installed in the wall for the light to attach to, but he managed to install the new light fixture we got on sale at Lowe's:

 

It is soooo much better than the ugly thing that was up there before, which looked like this only really dingy with the chrome worn off in places. It had been there since the house was built 15 years ago, judging by the white rectangle left behind once we removed it.

Our kitten has a weird obsession with shower curtains. I often find her staring at me through the shower liner. A little weird. I think she likes watching the water.
