.Head Quarter's Make Over. {Bathroom}



About a month ago I posted about a bathroom we we're re-doing in my parents house.
I was so excited to get rid of the 80's and 90's look it had.
Little did I know how much work it was going to take!
Note to self: Never use wallpaper on anything...
The before's are posted here
and here are the during and after's!!!

(ps: sorry about the not so perfectly focused photo's...our nice camera was dropped by my curious 22month old nephew....)

Lots and lots of sandpapering...
and more...
and more of it.



I don't know what is more dreadful, the wall paper removal and touch up of the walls, or having to tape off and then go back over everything with a teeny tiny paint brush for all the touch ups from where the tape didn't do it's job.
We had a great time doing it and if we had a bigger budget we would have done more! We are pretty proud of the way it turned it out. Thank you everyone for your input!
Paint Color is Eucalyptus Leaf by Behr at Home Depot.
I also got the color idea here. Thanks Court!

.Future Under Construction Zone.

While my parents are gone, we are staying in the back of the house. The Head Quarters. They gave us full permission to do whatever sort of re-decorating and painting as we wish to The H.Q. Well, 6 months has gone by and sadly we have only done 1 room. The Office/Glitter Toes/Levi's closet. (for those who have known me since Junior High+ and have been to my parents house, mine and Levi's Head Quarters is my old stomping grounds-back in the back of the house.)
Now with only 1 year to go, the H.Q. Bathroom is needing some serious updating. Wallpaper and paint happened ohhh 13yrs ago and the flooring...ya about that...it's been there for 25yrs.

So 90's, I know.


Do you SEE that floor!!!


These have got to be re-painted.


I personally think this contraction is pretty sweet. Ugly as all get out, but it does the job.
However, it's gotta go.

help....

I don't know who really follow us, but I would really appreciate some decorative input. 

This that have to stay: Counter Tops and Mirror's.

Doors, cupboards, baseboards and walls can and WILL be repainted.
Flooring will be replaced with Tile-hopefully.
Door, cupboard and drawer nobs-would love to get some from Anthropologie .

I love vintage and I love gold! So I was almost wanting to go with that...
Painting the cupboards white or creme and the detail indents/lines gold??
Accent colors maybe grey with yellow or coral??
Or do I go with colors like these:



The Head Quarter's will be the guest area for family and friends when my parents return. So I need to keep that in mind.

Any advice at all would be amazing!

Happy Monday.
