Quick bathroom update

Like most of this house when we bought it, this bathroom was a beautiful tribute to decades gone by... Nonetheless, it was the targeted selling point for us when we bought the house - none of the other houses we looked at had separate bathrooms off the bedroom, so we were immediately sold. It could definitely stand to have a more extensive upgrade, but as we know, that's not really how this household rolls with renovations, so I pulled out the paint cans and did what I could using the leftover paint in our basement. 

I primed and painted allllll the trim work, the cabinet slats, and the mirror frame. The built in wall shelving is very useful, but realistically, the doors never got closed like they were intended to, so I just took them off and painted the inside a deep blue.

I detested the light fixtures for many years, but I think I waited so long not replacing them that they *might* be on the verge of being back in style again? They don't bother me as much without all the dark wood. The stock faucet fixture, however, was never going to make a style comeback, so we replaced that (which actually ended up being a massive undertaking requiring a new pipe underneath, but...the idea was a simple one).

I mean, CHECK OUT that remnant of wallpaper that once graced the walls of this bathroom! I also hate the scallop sink insert, but my lovely husband (after muscling the corroded faucet fixture out) begged me to just cut my losses and put it back. I did. Again, like the sconces, it doesn't bother me nearly as much with the new faucet in place. 

And there we have it. Nothing earth shattering, but another fabulous example of paint (and a $35 faucet) to the rescue. It makes it just tolerable enough for the 80's sconces and scalloped sink to live to serve us another day...
