Well, since you asked ...

Okay, here's the before. Blah beigey-yellow walls, chock full o' paint drips, nail holes, etc.:

And here's the after! This was the only pic I got that shows the true color, kind of a turquoise (look at the corner juncture to get the color:

And yeah, that cabinet really IS in that bad of a shape. I was thinking about painting that one end that looks the worst, either with a brown stain or maybe white?

Then again, I don't want to go anywhere NEAR a paintbrush any time soon. Four-and-a-half freaking hours, is what it took me to do ONE COAT on that bathroom. And it's TINY! Sheesh.

    Please excuse all the random apostrophes. Blogger's spacing is all effed up. AGAIN. If anybody knows a better way to work around that, please enlighten me!

    I thought apostrophes were just your "trademark". Next time you take a picture of your work, make sure and show more so I can see things like your sink, toilet and grooming products, will ya?? :)

    Good job painting. I'll share my tips with you on resurfacing cabinets soon. Don't want you to stay idle too long ....

    I like!

    Do you use the "compose" option, or the "edit html" option? "Compose" is always jacked up.

    Queen, I actually have TWO bird clocks - one in the bathroom and one in the living room. I'm a little weird. Oh, and the one in the bathroom doesn't "sing" anymore. It's gone silent.

    Rob, YOU'RE a little weird. Do you really want to see what kind of hairspray I use? :) And do I really have to "resurface" the cabinet? Can't I just paint the wonky side?

    And Holly, I start out in compose, then go to edit html, and I STILL can't get it to space. Maybe it's just me.

    Lovely paint job! I love that colour for bathrooms.

    I do my posts in HTML and then justify it in compose. It seems to work OK. Having said that one of my more recent posts had RUBBISH spacing between pictures and I could NOT get it sorted.

    Ahhhh.
