Bathroom Update Part 2

Slowly and surely, I am bringing my bathroom to the 21st century.  It started with the $5.50 chandelier.  Now moving on to the shower.

I got this wild idea while cleaning the shower.  I was tired of looking at the outdated, ugly brass every morning.  While scrubbing the scum from the shiny metal, I had an epiphany.  Paint it!  



I ran and grabbed my Rustoleum Black Spray Paint and a piece of sand paper and went to work.  I taped off all the glass, sanded down the brass until it was not so glossy, and rubbed it with liquid sander/deglosser, just for extra measure.  I'm sure I didn't need to do all that, but just in case.

I proceeded to tape off all the glass area, and began to spray away! Ooh, how I love to spray paint stuff.  It feels like I'm playing paint ball with high-powered paint ball gun.....and I'm winning! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!

I got so excited, I didn't think about taking a picture until I was almost done (see the black on the door jamb).



Now for the after:  Ta-Da!  Welcome to the present, old shower!

I was a little worried if my husband would like it, so I played it up that I did something drastic to the house today. I let him stew about that all day.  Then when he got home, I led him to the bathroom.  He didn't seem to mind at all.  I guess I softened the blow a bit.  Whew.  Now on to the cabinets.....some day.
