The great 2010 Bathroom Project is not quite finished, but the before and after shots are starting to come out...
Window Wall - before
This picture sums up the state of the bathroom better than any other.
Window Wall - after
Wow, what an improvement. Four or five decades of peeling paint - gone!
Towel rack - before
Irreplaceable vintage wooden towel rack in a sad state.
Towel rack after
One coat of primer and one coat of high-glass enamel, and towel rack is restored to its former splendor. Richard handled this task, and also neatly rehung the ceramic plaques to good effect.
Northeast corner of bathroom ceiling - before
Yes, that's mildew up there, along with the peeling paint and ceiling cracks
Northeast corner of bathroom ceiling - after
Nothing much to see here. And that's the way it should be.
Or is it pale blue? I think it was called "Seafoam Mist" or something silly like that. It looks green in the pictures, but actually looks more blue in real life. Looks good either way.
And the original color wasn't nearly as orangey is it looks in the pictures. It's interesting how differently the camera interpreted the light in the room when the color on the walls was slightly different.
Yes! It turned out to be a lot more complicated to install than expected, but Dad stepped up to the task and got it in. (I did my part by finally locating the long-missing charger for the cordless drill, which turned out to be an essential piece of equipment). Dad also installed one of the light fixtures we bought and it looks surprisingly good. Do I hear a request for more bathroom pictures? :-)
