The Snowball Effect Part 2

So I left you the other day as we were beginning to paint Chablis' room at the lakehouse.  You can go back and read that post here to find out how I got myself into this mess.  So here's the room with it's new blue walls....

Like I've said before -it's a lake house, it's old and it's not perfect.  This was the best we could do with the ceilings and it's just going to have to work.  But the whole time I'm doing this, I'm thinking about my blogger friend Debbie.  She has the most gorgeous lakehouse and I love, love, love the way she fixes it up.  Go check out her blog.   She just has the most perfect way of decorating everything and I keep thinking that my lake house will never look like hers.  Another blog that's fabulous is Melissah's Coastal Style.  Melissah is an interior designer and I always like everything beachy that she does.   I was just saying that somehow what I picture in my head never translates into the finished product of what I do. Sigh...... I just don't have that talent.  Oh well, I just do the best I can.  Go over and visit both their blogs if you want to see some really beautiful work.

We stuck the old yellow curtains up for now until Chablis finds some new ones that she likes.  We're thinking lilac/lavender....

So, ok, her room is done and we still had the bathroom mess to contend with.  I figured that since we got the ceiling fixed in her bedroom we'd try the same thing in the bathroom, so we just moved down the hall, set up the ladder and got to work.  But you know what that means....  Since I have to paint the ceiling, I may as well paint the whole stinking room.

When we bought the lakehouse we never did a thing to this bathroom.  In fact, there were some holes in the walls and since I didn't have any paint cans of the original paint, do you know what I did?  I just stuck some flower and ladybug stickers over the holes to cover them up.  LOL.  Honest injun!  I think I have a very haphazard approach to decorating. 
 
Here's what we started with.  We fixed the ceiling, took down the shelves,  peeled off the tacky stickers, spackled all the holes, caulked the entire room and then ran back to town for more paint, rollers and brushes....  I also had Louie install a brand new toilet really quick.

Chablis started painting......

And in 2 days we were done.  The worst part was all the trim and doors - ick!

I am done .....finished..... I am spending the rest of my summer enjoying the lake.  This Snowball Effect is exhausting.   Well, except for a few finishing touches to the bathroom and Chablis' room.  Oh, and I have a quart of paint sitting here so I can paint the railing in the sunroom.  But I'm ignoring that for right now.
