Labor Day Weekend

Our Labor Day Weekend labor...




We spent our time off re-doing our guest bathroom. I have been wanting to change it up for a while. When we moved into our house every room was painted a creamy light mustard yellow. We asked the contractor to repaint most of our house; however, we left the guest bedroom, computer room and guest bathroom their original color. I had seen pictures of entrances and bedrooms painted in stripes in a magazine a long time ago and decided that yellow and white stripes would be the perfect look for the guest bath. I decided this would be a great first real home improvement project for us, and Charles agreed.

Of course I wanted a different color yellow stripe, so the first step (after spending quite a while in Home Depot deciding on paint choices) was to paint the entire room white...




The next step was to tape off the stripes (this one took a while!!)...


Then came the yellow...



And the completed project...


I think our first real home improvement project turned out pretty good!!
We hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing Labor Day!!
Charles, Megan and Toula
