24 hour bathroom makeover

We have been meaning to paint the bathroom since we moved in...a year ago. The person that lived here before thought it would be a bright idea to PAINT all the bathtub tiles. When we moved in, the paint was starting to come off, and to be really eloquent, it looked NASTY. We used extremely painful paint stripper to get it off (see my post about burning myself and how NOT to use paint stripper), but the result was a two inch border around the bathtub where the stripper had actually taken off the paint on the walls as well. Instead of trying to match the paint, we decided that we would just paint it another color all together. Note: This renovation was completed in less than 24 hours. How did I do it you ask? One simple tip: Lock myself in the bathroom and GET. IT. DONE...well, that and enlist a wonderful husband that can reach the 'high spots'.



Wall texture closeup....("oooooahhhhh")


The wall color has a tid more green in it than how it looks here. We matched our "seamist" Nautica towels at home depot for a 75% seamist saturation rate. (75% towel color, 25% white)
