more paint

More painting this weekend, this time in the powder room. When we first moved into the PGMP, the powder room was decorated with hideous wallpaper; we took off the wallpaper but couldn’t get the glue off, so even after we repainted, the wall had all kinds of weird dribbles and bumps of ancient glue.
So I decided to try some textured paint to hide the glue dribbles and went with Behr Bellagio Faux (it seemed the easiest.) And it was easy. We’re very pleased with the result, and I’m already dreaming about accent walls for the new place in a similar technique for if we pull this move off.
If you try this yourself, use plenty of masking tape and paper on the floor — the glaze is very, very runny. I’ll post a picture once I get the bathroom put back together. We used a yellow glaze over a pinky-beige undercoat and I think it looks nice, especially with the towel bar we already had.

  1. I am sorry, but you would never catch me in a towel bar. Or an oxygen bar, as far as that goes. No, I like my bars to be able to make a proper Manhatten, to not be too loud, and to have as few televisions (preferably none) as possible.
    A towel bar would probably be full of sport-o’s sitting around talking about their cholestoral and their times for the sixteen k.
