When Jim & I talked about a winter project this year, we thought we'd work on putting tile, granite or some other solid surface on the fireplace & shelving in the family room. After some investigating & trips to a couple of tile stores, we decided the job was more than we wanted to get into. We talked about it and agreed to remodel the powder room instead. I really liked the way it looked with the dark blue paint color beneath the chair rail & flowered wallpaper but after almost five years I was ready for a change.
I had a picture that I had torn out of a magazine a couple of years ago of a bathroom remodel that had bead board installed and I really loved the look. Luckily, Jim is pretty handy with his saw & nail gun and he agreed to my plan. I had also seen a paint technique that looked like leather at Home Depot that I wanted to try.
Here are the results:
This time we didn't fight or get into any disagreements because since it was such a small area we had to work at separate times. I did all the painting first and then Jim did all the bead board & trim and installed a new faucet & light. We're both happy with the way it turned out.
Maybe next winter we'll get to the fireplace & shelving......
