Painting (Primer): Bathroom

It has officially been decided that things are approaching being clean and we could finally go out and buy some paint! I, of course, couldn't wait more than 24 hours before I started...

Our first project? The bathroom. It's a pretty small room that was painted a very dark color; while pretty, it made the room feel small and not very comfortable. I've had this thought in my mind forever of making a bathroom into a sailboat bathroom...and that's what we're doing. 

Before I get too far ahead of myself, it's not a magical transformation. Today we just did primer after the Packer game (because priorities). 

We went to Lowes for our paint products, but that's because of the color that I wanted to match other decor. This primer was recommended by the woman working there for going over a dark color. 

Allow me to share.

Now, the primer is a pain in the butt because if you go over anything that's damp but not dry, it will pull the clumps of primer right back off again. So be careful. I still don't have any great advice. Just be patient and wait for it to dry before you go over the first layer in any way. 

The final colors are a blue and a tan. But alas, the work week calls and we'll be back at it next weekend!
