All the pudding sanding,priming, and painting is done on the master bath walls .Have to paint the ceiling and the lil wild hair idea I had but its looking up! Look closely and you can see the X,O, and hearts on the textured stone I did instead of using tile molding. I'm going to add wood to the top and bottom of it, and paint it with a dark blue glaze thats transparent. In my mind it is going to rock!. Believe it or not most of the down stairs is painted blue. Its all painted a lil different but its mostly all blue. What can I say I love blue. Master bath has shinny silver colored facets so I bought this awesome looking very tall candlestick that was a rusty white, I striped it and painted it shinny silver. I also bought this metal hunter green stool...old one of course...and an old metal pink hamper. You guessed it I striped them and im going to paint them also. Hamper will go in laundry room but stool is going in my bath. I also bought this shinny metal bin to use as a hamper in my bath. I know what some of you are thinking....why buy old stuff and spend time refinishing it when you can buy new.....well....if you know me....you know i love a challenge and i love old stuff....also made better and last alot longer ....soooooooooo...thats why....call me crazy, but hey i never claimed to be sane...hehe....

Looks awesome don't it! I just love this bath. Can't wait till the master bath is done! This room is now complete, now off to another. These pics are the upstairs foyer. Cut outs are one for a closet door and other for attic access door. Pic of stairs is looking downstairs. This room is in between the two upstairs bedrooms and is about 10 1/2 ft long by 8 1/2 ft wide. I striped the bed I'm using for Randy and I's bed and then repainted it, was white now as you can see it's brown. Its going to be a queen size because I didn't want to fill the room with all bed, I know its an old one but it looks just awesome in the house. Plus its the bed I always wanted, reminds me of my days spent at the farm back home with my grandparents in Raceland, Louisiana.
We took yesterday off to have fun at the lake. Last pics are of boys goofing off but having fun.

This is the master bath. I completed all the wall tile, and grouted it. Boys have puttied all the walls and the celing. They sanded it and re puttied for 2nd time. Soon we shall start painting. I know tile looks a lil weird on last 3 rows, but my wild haired ideas keep kicking in....i think it will look great when finished.Ceiling is completed all but the paint, Man was that ever hard. I think we put to much plaster..oh well....its done so we moving on. Oh by the way don't I have some pretty boys?...lol...Look out girls!

Medicine cabinet is stained, clear coated,mirrors installed and now hung, I cut peaces of plastic leveler blind ( this is what kinda blinds i hung in both baths ) to make the lil frames around them....came out pretty good....ain't I thrifty....lol.......tiles are grouted and molding around them are also done. Floors repaired, and extension of tub is painted and clear coated I made a step to help with entering and exiting the tub I need to attache it...only other thing left in this bath is the counter top and installation of the sink. This will take at least 7 days more because it takes 7 days for the overlay to cure before I can install the sink....hopefully we shall have it installed in the nest two weeks. I did the overlay tonight but it has to dry now....will put top coat on at 1 am...yea I know work work work...almost looks like i finger painted one end but other side looks awesome! I also cut out the molding for the counter top. My curtains are down again so I didn't stain them when I clear coated the logs, kinda hard to see them but they go great with everything. I found some fine gold tool, shimmering and wrapped it around the shower bar for a curtain, then hung some beads on twine....turned out pretty nice even the kids like it....that's a shock. I also added a live plant on top of the shower cabinet. I'll send a final picture when its all done.












































































OK now I added 2 more top coats to the counter top, and the molding I cut...Was a lil plain to me so I added gold webbing. I think it rocks! What do you think?
