We renovated this bathroom about a year and a half ago. When I say “we,” I mean Saint Steven, of course. He did a bangup job, which is why we called only him when contemplating the kitchen.
It’s a lovely little bathroom. All blue and white. The blue color is named “Thar she blows,” which really clinched the deal in Home Depot when Spouse and I were wallowing in paint chips trying to decide between 20 identical pale blues.
Since Steven hates to paint, we opted to paint this guy ourselves, and then a well-timed e-mail from Urban Outfitters made me thinks these flower stickers would be just the thing to liven up an otherwise sterile space. I think they’re adorable, and knew we’d be up against it when it came time to repaint.
Sadly, that time is now. Since I did the original paint application, it is not up to the challenge of standard shower steam and the ceiling is peeling, the rest of the paint is cracking and every morning I gaze upward and think about toxic mold.
We’ve employed some very lovely painters to make it right, and they started today. They made quick work of my stickers, and will be applying a couple of coats of Benjamin Moore’s “blue jean” tomorrow. With any luck, this is the penultimate indoor upgrade for a while.
