January 20, 2013 - Office Makeover - Update

The next step was deciding paint colors and what to do with all the hardware in the bathroom portion of the room.  Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.

The vanity lights and mirror looked old and white would not work.  So I took apart the fixture to see if we could replace it or paint it fairly easily.


 Home Depot and Lowe's had several options, but the sizes were wrong.  They all looked nice, but did not go with the feel of the room.



The prices were fairly cheap, but it would add to our budget that is increasingly getting higher than we wanted to put into this room.





 Evan and I decided on a dark fixture for the sink since we were leaning towards a bronze color paint for the hardware on the light and cabinet's knobs.


The options were plentiful, but the prices were higher that we wanted to pay.


 Meanwhile, the ceiling was just about finished up.


We had started on the trim and went with the dark color for the trim and a lighter paint for the walls to help brighten up the room.


It is amazing what one coat of paint will do to freshen up the room.  It looks so much brighter and cleaner than the splotchy brown they had before.  It was ok for a start, but it was so drab.


 I thought about leaving the sliding doors natural, but they were too yellow against the cooler colored trim.
