Before...After and After

Haste makes waste is so true or in our case...patience is a virtue

Half bath aka "the nemesis" when we moved in

Before:







Our first attempt to remodel


which involved new fixtures in brushed nickel and paint.


After a few months....the paint was blistering in spots. So I took a putty knife and scraped those areas and my walls were all pocked up but the idea was to skim coat them with drywall compound, prime and paint again. Shortly after hubby started "that" process... the blistering started AGAIN and he was not too happy. So....

give the man some tools and this is what happens...





After about 2 months it now looks like this and I LOVE it.






                                  Inexpensive with recycling and using materials we already had.

So glad that your husband was able to step in and fix the problem. I know how it is to have to wait to get something done. The "after" turned out great! I know you must be very happy with the result.
