Well, at long last, the bathroom is complete. The accoutrements are not there. I still need a cabinet and a plant and a soap dish among other things, but my assault on the walls is done. I really feel like it has more of a spa feel right now so I’m pretty pleased.
Things to note:
The base paint cost 1 dollar at a garage sale. I happened to see the paint on the table and still had the paint chips in the car to match it up. It was close enough, because I knew I would be putting glaze over top of it. That is the more important step.
The glaze and mix paint cost twenty in total, but I have a ton of glaze left over for other projects. I know how to not waster it now. So I will get at least one more room out of it should I choose to do so.
The last part was to take my old towel rack off and replace them with my new Zen towel rocks… and I do mean ROCKS.
- My towel ROCK, not towel rack…. very zen for me and cheap too!
The wood cost fifty-three cents, and the rocks were eight-eight cents. The two feet of copper cost about two dollars and the glue was the most costly at about five bucks with the bolts to hold it to the wall as a close second at about three dollars. I already had the clear lacquer spray to seal the wood and the rocks. I think they turned out well.
They are held to the wall with anchors behind the sheetrock
I took the leftover wood and made two floating shelves out of them. Note that the towel rock is lower than the candle shelf to prevent an accidental fire from starting. I will not be responsible if you do this and don’t think of that possibility in advance.
I also saw a really cool thing the other day…MAGNETIC PAINT!!! Look it up… turns any wall into a magnet board! I can’t wait to try it out.
