The Pink Bathroom

This was one of my least favorite parts of the house. I never liked the pink bathroom. Maybe, I am weird, but I like my bathrooms to be relaxing. Spa-Like, if you will. I don't think it's quite the place for trendy things. So this is a journey out of the 60s...Pink walls, floral wall paper, pink tile, all that fun stuff.  


 
Here we are, Pinky Pink. This room has less paint to be stripped but there is some wallpaper border to be taken care of.
 
Now...What to do about this pink shower? I purchased Rustoleum Tub and Tile Restoration kit to basically paint this shower, I'll let ya'll know more about the process and how it goes when I get to it.
 
Here are some before pictures!  
 
 
 
 

 
Side Wall- Before

 
Diamonds are a girls best friend? I beg to differ! This scraper here is awesome. Also, pry bars, yes.
 

Sticky Wallpaper Mess
 


Patching holes in cabinets and walls 
 


 
Sanded vanity ready for priming.
 


 
 Scraped Window and a new family of friends!
 



 
NO MORE PINK!
 

Wall Color - SW Backdrop (7025)

 
This is a little better, don't you think?
 
 
I painted the shower! Almost finished with this bathroom.
 

Gross!

 
Everywhere I have lived, I have replaced the showerheads. Still need to caulk along the edge of the tile... but hey...minor details.


New vinyl baseboard. One day I will replace them with wooden baseboards. One day.


 
I could not resist the slight homage to the face that the bathroom used to be pink.
 
Now...Finally! Here is a before for a little perspective.
 
 
 
 
After!
