I painted my bathroom!

So Mondays are my project and improving my little space and life days. Yesterday, I painted the bathroom. I don't have a before picture, but these are more like a during pictures as I'm not finished yet.

You can't really tell exactly what I did with the paint here, but I mixed grey and white as I went, so it's really streaky looking. I did that on purpose because, at least in this space, and during this time in my life, I'm really enjoying an aesthetic that reveals the human, reveals the work, shows the brush and roller marks. I am going to paint the cabinets green and then do like a thin whitewash over them.

But yeah, look at that! I did something. I'm moving forward! Sometimes by millimeters, sometimes by miles, this time by a few yards. I am often very afraid to get stuff done because I feel like I haven't planned enough or done enough research and fear that I will mess it up, and everyone will hate it... down the rabbit hole I go, so this new idea of embracing the human in the work we do is good for me.

So, I just jumped in, one two three go! Slapped a bunch of paint on the wall, so there would be no turning back.

I'm really happy with how it turned out. I want to put the kids to work making shadow boxes, one for each of them, and hanging them up in the bare wall that faces the mirror. That way they can put trinkets from vacations or things that make them happy in them, shells, rocks, dinosaurs, whatever. That way, they have something happy greeting them in the morning when they are getting ready each day and when they make pit stops throughout the day.

Also, they can change them whenever they want, so I can kind of see their evolving interests and aesthetics.

I'm excited!

See my clean (thanks Zach!) and painted bathroom! Woooo hooooo!

And I didn't buy paint, just experimented with what I had around the house, so that makes me happy.
