Renegades of Jank Bathroom Reveal

That's right friends, you read that right!  

Have *I* got a bathroom reveal for you!   Let's first take a peek at our bathroom install process because calling it progress?  T'would be laughable.

Needless to say we were less than pleased.  What pleased us less after being told the only solution is to come back out, sledgehammer out the whole thing and reinstalling it?  That process wouldn't start until mid-JANUARY.  

This was supposed to be done October 24th!!!!

Mmm hmm.

Soooo, if you think I'm going to have us living an additional two months washing our hands and brushing our teeth over a shower stall, you're nuts.  We got the vanity I painted back into the bathroom and the Mr hooked it up so we could stand like normal people post bidness.  Next was addressing the big ass hole in the wall where our medicine cabinet went.  I said screw it, put up two temporary shelves with small nails and I would slap up some peel and stick wallpaper in there to pretty it up temporarily.  Now I give you the evolution of the jankiest medicine cabinet of all time.

The Mr took the light from the foyer and put it up temporarily so we didn't have masking tape over a hot switch and we could, you know, have light since we had to take off the bathroom fan they installed to keep them from ruining that too.

We can't hang the mirror so leaning it against the wall it is.  

So posh.

Now time for you to appreciate the sloppy prime coat to blank out the God awful blue we painted it two years ago.

That'll be covered with wallpaper, I'm not going all out to make it perfect.

Next was the back of the door towel hanger that we now have to use that has already started ruining the door trim when you close it all the way.  Add it to the list.

You can see our delightful open air vanity I painted.

See how it gives a hippie chic vibe?  

Actually, let me use this opportunity to give you a tip.  I used Ferbin Killians Urethane Paint on that like every stupid blogger out there told me to.  LIES.  That alleged crap ass paint has chipped no less than 4x doing nothing more than just SITTING THERE.  So you start having us actually use it and it's over.  I am not going to keep doing touch ups on this so add polying the whole vanity and everything I've painted with it to the list.  This also explains why the front door chips that the association made us use their paint.  I will never buy paint that expensive again.  

*stepping off soapbox*

And because we need a little Christmas, right this very minute, a little Christmas craft to make an appearance on the pooper.

The cream rising to the top are the unskimmed walls they left us with the adhesive baskets I had to get so we weren't scavenging on the shower floor like animals.

And the pièce de résistance, are the craft magnets I had to use at the bottom of our new shower curtain to keep it from attacking us while we shower but that kind of failed so I guess they'll come off.

So the next time you look around at your bathroom and think it looks outdated or not as nice as you'd like, just think of this horror show and be thankful.  Because sadly, this is an upgrade we're thankful for right now while secretly hexing the installers under our breath.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have ram board to warp with wet feet post shower.
