Our newly painted bathroom

Nov 20, 2009  |  Posted by: Megan Stay

Sir Luke was gone for a few days a couple weeks ago and I decided to surprise him by painting our master bathroom. I got some free paint from Glidden over the summer (Lavender Phlox) and decided I was going to be brave and do some horizontal stripes.

I started by painting the entire bathroom in Behr’s Eggnog. I attempted to paint in only the exposed spots so I wouldn’t paint multiple times. The taping off was the most insane part. My laser level was less level than I hoped…and I miscalculated my stripes….so it didn’t quite work out how I envisioned BUT I’m really happy with the results

I want to put up one of my photos from my adventures at the Cactus Gardens. I want it to be giant and framed in a light wood and a wide white mat. I chose my lavender flower

What do you think? Do you think I’ve gone totally batty with the stripes? Our builder decided that a giant random shelf int he bathroom was a swell idea. So it will end up housing scads of white orchids. I’ll be painting the vanity Eggnog as well. But for now I’m taking a painting break.


I promise I’m going to start working on my headboard ASAP and do a little how-to video.

    I think it looks fabulous! You are crazy for doing all those stripes!!! I only say that because after painting our bedroom, I realize the insane amount of work it takes to do taping and everything. It looks awesome. Can’t wait to see it with the orchids!
