When I left The House of the Goodwill last week for the holidays, I was in the middle of repainting the hall bathroom. It was a little hard leaving with the project half finished. But after six days of painting, it was halfway done, and when I return to finish it, the second half will be the fun part.
I got the tedious part completed, the deglossing and painting of the molding.
When I get back, I get to remove the old wallpaper (fun!), repaint the walls and refinish the vanity cabinet.
It's going to look great when it's completed!
Here are a few pics from before, as well as how it looks at the halfway point:
Before, with the old dark molding.
I just love the avocado step-down bathtub!
The bathroom is divided into 2 sections, this section has beautiful tile work on the walls.
There is also a fantastic avocado colored countertop!
I got to paint more overhead molding here 😒
I am really excited to remove this wallpaper, and I'm going to paint the vanity cabinet a nice shade of orange to complement the counter.
I love the wall tile with it's light green pattern.
I haven't decided on the wall colors yet.
Step 1 completed: molding is brighter!
I am excited for this unremarkable '70's bathroom to look fresh and cheerful!
The view from the still dark and unpainted hallway into the bathroom.
The change in this house is going to be dramatic!
The unfortunate irony of this house is, it is in such good shape and was so well maintained by the former owners, that if it hadn't felt so dark, and I had liked the former paint colors, I wouldn't have had to do anything. There were hardly even nail holes in the walls.
Even the wallpaper held up surprisingly well, considering how old it probably is.
I'm painting over pristine paint jobs most of the time.
But this photo is a good example of how dark this house felt. It's probably a solid analogy for the year 2020; 2021 at The House of Goodwill will be looking lighter and brighter!
