Bathroom's Done!





YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's really hard to tell what the color looks like in the picture, but you sort of get an idea. They plastered it first, so there's a nice texture to the wall. It looks khaki in the daylight, then at night you can see an olive tone to it.

I finally have my sanctuary back! The overall experience sucked so bad though that RD has sworn to never hire anyone else to do something for us again. We're big do-it-yourself people, but thought we'd hire out for this one. In hindsight, not the best decision. We are happy with the foyer, and in the end we are happy with the bathroom, but it was just not a pleasant experience.

First the bathroom turned out awful. I should've taken a picture to show you the yuck on our walls that he called Venetian plaster, but it made me sick to even bother. Then when he drops this girl off to apply the plaster (for the 'do over' job), she starts asking me if it looks okay because she's never done this before and isn't sure what it's supposed to look like. Mmmmm-kay, so you're telling me we're spending a totally unnecessary large chunk of money to have this so-called professional do something that we could've just as easy of done ourselves? Irk. Gack. Damn it. Hind sight...it's a bitchbitchbitch. Oh well. It's done. It's over. We're happy. So glad it's finished.
