Phase I - The Bathroom (Update 1 - Paint)
Ok Karen here.
Ok now that you have seen the bathroom before color, here is a photo of how it looks now.

Then came the painting. This great color that matched so well went on the walls cherry red. Did I mention how bright it was and I am like. I am going get killed when he sees this but still kept going. I started it and the phrase was " anything is better than that brown" So I get through one coat. And am like yeah I will need 2. My thought is HMM I work at 9 I will do a second coat later. My phone rings and it changes my start time to 3:30am but I am out by 9 am. Hmm I think Ok I can paint after work.
RJ gets home and freaks his bathroom is in his living room and well the paint dried to a great color in need of a second coat. He was surprised and angry.
I think surprised is the key word and boy was his festering his anger. There was a heated discussion at 2:30 am when I was getting ready for work, But I still came back and finished. I painted the second coat then slept. And when he got home he liked it. But the fixtures were now a issue. As they were the generic cheap silver ones and this bathroom was starting to look Victorian.........
