Don't be alarmed. This is not another post about our master bathroom remodel.
I'm actually performing a little makeover on one of our upstairs bathrooms.
There was really nothing
wrong with this bathroom. It was just rather nondescript, and I thought I'd try to spruce it up without spending a lot of moola. Plus, I've been secretly itching to use navy paint somewhere, and thought it would look great with the white and navy floor tile.
So, I started by removing the wallpaper...
and began painting the walls Benjamin Moore's "Hale Navy."
Did you notice the soffit with the can lights? I called in my handyman to remove the soffit and replace the lighting. Sounds pretty simple and straightforward until they took out the soffit and discovered a pesky pipe right in the middle of the wall and ceiling venting to the roof of the house.
It couldn't be removed, so we had to come up with a solution to hide it. I asked him to install drywall on an angle, which conceals the pipe and gives the appearance that the roof is simply slanted along that wall. Not sure this was the best solution, but we were leaving for vacation and I had to come up with something fast.
This was the result...
You can see how the wall is slightly angled now.
Now, if I wasn't on a budget with this project, I would have put in these lights...
Oh, I love those lights! But I couldn't justify the expense. So, I searched high and low for a less expensive alternative. And, this is what I found...
And at the very budget-friendly price of $13.99, I couldn't pass it by. Here they are going in...
Hoping to finish up the painting this week. Then I've got some other changes to make to this room. Stay tuned...
Hope you are having a great weekend :)
