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 I was tired of looking at the outdated, ugly brass every morning.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.
