Master Bath mini makeover ~ part 2, the reveal

Oh.my.goodness.  It's been a while.  Graduation kicked my butt.

We hosted an "art gallery showing" of my daughter's artwork for her party.

It's been over a week and my living room is still not back to normal.

Crazy.

Anyway...

When we last saw our hero, there was chaos in the master bath...

and a tub full of corresponding accoutrements.

We actually finished this project in April sometime...but life has been busy for the moon AND me.

Well, after those gazillion coats of poly, it was time to move on to the cabinets.

I have a picture of them in the process of being painted,

but you really don't want to see that.

I cleaned them all with Krud Kutter and used a liquid sander/deglosser on them.

I probably should have lightly sanded them, but I didn't.

They're still doing great, but it's not like we stab

them with sharp things on a daily basis either.

I primed them with Kilz, but may use something else next time...hmmm...

like maybe some that's specifically meant to use on glossy surfaces?  Huh.

The paint color is Sherwin-Williams creamy.

It's a perfect cream, in my opinion...not too yellow or too grey.

I glazed everything...doors, drawers, main cabinet.

These are the Asphaltum antiquing glaze and Mocha translucent glaze.

I wasn't happy with either one of these colors alone.
One was too black, the other too light brown.

Well, the obvious solution? Mix them together...equal parts.

PERFECT!

You have to wait a couple days before sealing when you use the glazes...

so I couldn't put the hardware on right away.

Bummer.

I found all the cabinet hardware here and I would
TOTALLY buy from them again.
The prices are unbeatable...they ship fast...and I am so in love.

SO, now on to the finished pics...there are several because I do so completely love it!

In this pic below you can see the new pots I painted with the
Oil Rubbed Bronze to take the place of the others that went to the guest room.

Now they're matchy matchy.

Remember that ugly light fixture?

It's amazing what a little ORB spray paint will do!

I'm almost ready to say I don't ever need to replace it!

But let's not get too hasty.  It really is too small for a vanity this wide.

Aaaaand...here are the before and afters:

If we hadn't replaced the faucets, we would have kept it under $100.

I think the finished amount was somewhere around $175

for all the supplies I didn't already have

on hand plus the hardware and faucets.

Not too shabby. :)

I hope you have enjoyed this little adventure with me.

If you missed the first post with the counter top...check it out here!

Let's hope it's not another month before I get the laundry room posted.

You're gonna love it! But probably not as much as I do. :)

Have a great week!
