While I’ve been scraping away at the popcorn ceiling texture on the main floor, the upstairs bathroom has been progressing quite well. Drywall has been taped, mudded (is that a word?), sanded, textured, and finally, painted. After living with boring, bland, and/or dark colors, we decided to liven the room up a bit. With yellow:

Okay, it isn’t quite that yellow in person, but it is yellow none-the-less. Once we get the dark woodwork, and the white claw foot tub, toilet, and pedestal sink in here, it won’t be quite as blinding. We hope.

The part on the light fixtures that hold the shades are new, non-lacquered brass. These will be aged to match the fixture better in the future. Casey also had to have her antique toilet paper holder installed, even though we don’t have a toilet in there yet.

Hard to notice is the hole to the left of the chimney. This is where a cabinet will be built for towels and toiletries. We will also have wood corner trim running along the edges of the drywall next to the chimney.
