1/2 Bathroom face lift DIY's

This is my second DIY. I love giving old wall/ room a new feel.

I know that is a strange tile for this but was first thing that popped in to my brain when I was trying to think of a title.

Feb 17

I was going throw withdrawals from not being able to work on the Harry Potter Art Room when the flooring was being put in, so I gave myself another one todo.

Feb 18

So this is the bathroom Im only doing two of the four walls. Firs take down the towel rack and anything you are not using for this procedure, hehe. Then fill in the holes and sand to make smooth, then tap off the work area ( for the hard and high areas I got my hubby to help me).

Feb 18-19

Start paiting on the layers. I used a small roller did mutable layers

I did a painting technique using a plastic bag. I was not able to do a video at the time of the project. The results will differ with the paper, laying down vs. wall, up right.

Steeps

* you can watch the video along with fallowing the steeps.

1) After you apply the amount of paint for your primary paint color, layers have dried.

2) Get your Brush/roller, container for holding a small dabe of second paint color and little amount of water to dilute the paint, mix, get your plastic bag and tuck they handles inside of bag.

*key note remember if plastic bag is laid out flat it leaves more paint on the surface, if you crumple the bag in to ball it will take off leave more of your paint on the surface.

3) use your roller/brush to paint on you diluted second color over your primary, Do a small area, put roller/brush back in container and grab you plastic bag and decide if you how you want to lay the plastic bag over the paint.

4) repeat steeps to your desired effect .

Feb 19-20

once I was done with the paint effect with the plastic bag my husband decided he like how it turn out and decided that having both walls look the same is better then one looking aged and the other a bright copper look so he tock down the tape and we then talked about how many diamonds and size on the other wall then he did amazing job tapping that off for me.

Feb 20-21

you can see the amount of layers I ended up having to do and the extra day of painting. looks like some one from the flooring hated to play just had to fix one diamond but had to paint all so the background was even over all it was ok but pushed back in time for paint to dry to do the plastic bag on that wall.

Feb 22

At long last the other wall is done time to take off the tape.

Feb 23

Got the tap off and you can see the original paint color that the other two wall's still have to tie in that color with the new face lift this 1/2 bathroom is getting. I had only got one box of the nail like pin that fits preface in to the believe it or not its decoration for you cabinet hardware handle. But I'm using it this way. I only got four from Hobby Lobby and waiting for the rest to be mailed to me.
