Nap time chronicles: final chapter!

I'm sorry that it has been SO long since my last real post... if you'd seen my house after spending practically an entire week working in the bathroom you would have totally understood!

Just so you know that I'm in NO way a "super-mom"... I feel I must share I had a mini-meltdown yesterday.. ha! When the house is array... my brain doesn't function the same, my words are all jumbled, my head is a fog and my stress levels just sky rocket. (Is that just me?)

Well, ANYWAY- with out further ado: Anna's NEW Bathroom!


Incase you missed it you can catch up on chapter:

ONE, TWO and THREE.

The final chapter (after just one week's worth of naps!):



BEFORE:

AFTER:

Step by Step:

After stripping all the wall paper I painted the whole bathroom in Benjamin Moore's "ballet slippers". Then I spent what seemed like two days taping off big 10 inch stripes- (each stripe averaged 15 minutes). Once taped, I painted eah stripe in one coat of Benjamin Moore's "sweet 16". After all the pink was painted Casey installed the bead board and I painted it white to match the trim.

A special thanks to Casey who had NO clue what he was getting in to when he arrived home from his business trip. He spent the majority of the weekend installing the chair rail moulding, floor trim and bead board. Not to mention changing out ALL of the light switches and plugs.. thanks Case!!
