Just like that and we’re in week 3 of the One Room at a Time!!  Let’s recap: week 1  was a preview of what the room looks like and my plans on what I want to do in the space.  Week 2: I hosted a DIY Challenge which I shared HOW TO SKIM COAT A WALL and on the week 2 update I shared how I BLEACHED THE VANITY CABINET.

WEEK 3 – UPDATE ON THE HALF BATHROOM | ONE ROOM AT A TIME

The Vanity

My Plan A for the vanity cabinet was to bleach the wood and add a clear poly topcoat only, but the cabinet doors turned darker instead of lighter.  Scratched Plan A, I turned to Plan B, I created a mango wood look to the cabinet.  I love Plan B!!

The inspirations was my Kirkland’s wooden tray for the cabinet.  I think I nailed it!!

The Walls

Next up was the bottom of the bathroom walls.  Plan A was to add board and batten, but after much thought of the work needed to achieve the best look.  I decided the easier route,  adding beadboard instead.  And again, I love Plan B!!

Before adding the wallpaper, I painted the crown molding with a high gloss white.

Now to tackle the peel and stick wallpaper.  I have to say, the skim coat I added to the walls worked great to smooth the rough surface.

We have a problem Houston!  The plates won’t fit now with the new thickness of the beadboard.  UGH!

Found the solution, SPACERS!!  So easy to install, I did it myself after Mr. Tip made sure the power was off to both the light switch and plug in.

I felt like I was playing with Legos.  You snap them together in the thickness you need, I used three of the spacers for each light switches and plug-in.

Problem solved!

As you can see it was a busy week, I have a few more things to finish up.

Things to do before reveal:

• paint beadboard (not sure if I will paint it white or a color)
• install light fixture and mirror
• reinstall the toilet and caulk around the base
• add the drawers and doors to the cabinet
• clean the room
• decorate

Make sure you go over to Tammy Patina and Paint and Teresa Through a Vintage Door to see what progress they made this week.
