Another 'Ladyfingers' project

 
A couple of weekends ago, I got a wild hair and decided to completely re-decorate the master bathroom.  When we purchased the home, it had really ugly pink/blue striped floral wallpaper.  I ripped it off before we even closed on the house, and then re-papered it myself with a brown colored plain wallpaper.  I had to do something to cover the bare wall.  Well,  I've lived with it for 5 years now and decided I was 'over it'.

Evidently I must have used a REALLY good wallpaper paste, because this paper would not budge when i tried to remove it.  So,,,on the advise of a friend,,,I painted over it with an oil-based KILZ to seal it.

Next, I textured the walls with the wall texturizing stuff from Home Depot that's in the blue/white box.  There's also a green/white box, but it is really thick.  The sales person said to use the blue/white box.  They call it 'Mud-Lite'.  (hee). I mixed it with a little water, and then  I used an 8" trowel and just applied it to the wall using a 'rainbow' random pattern.  The next day after it was completely dry, I painted it.


Here are a couple of photos of the finished product.

Here's a 'before' photo of the vanity chair.  I had some animal print fabric on hand so I recovered the chair to match the new decor.

This was a very easy re-do.  I just took the seat off the chair, and stapled the new fabric over the old, then re-installed the cushion.  Pretty quick, easy project.

 To finish out the look, I found me some animal print towels, and took them to a local store and had them monogrammed.

This was a super fun project.  It only took a couple of days for the whole process and I love the final results.  The room is so much brighter now.


Have a great weekend!
