Well, I haven't posted since Friday because, as I mentioned, I was starting to paint the bathroom. Let's just say it did NOT go well. I have literally spent almost every waking moment either painting, scraping or re-painting. What was supposed to be 'not a big deal' turned into a NIGHTMARE! We were supposed to just be able to primer and paint...and on Saturday it seemed it went great. Then Sunday everything started peeling off. So we had to peel/scrape, sand, wash, de-gloss, re-primer, and re-paint. And we're still not done, but hopefully today might be the last. We did decide if we were this far we might as well do some other stuff in there, like install some outlets (quite handy in a bathroom...we've only had one that plugged into the light fixture that was about 50 years old), and new light fixtures that are pretty. So I am actually excited about how it will look when it's done. Even the pink tiles that are still there might actually not be so offensive!

As far as being inspired to other projects...as bad as this went, I still want to paint the rest of the house...because it really looks nice when it's done. And I have learned a lot in this bathroom escapade, and I think I'll be more prepared for the next project!
