Revisiting our bathroom project from 2020…

While we are at home on #coronacation (as named by my 15 year old), I finally decided to tackle the bathroom cabinet project in the boys’ bathroom. For those of you who may not know, I have four boys aged 9-17 and they all share a bathroom. Part of the hold up, as most of you have struggled with also, was the color. I chose Jolie Paints in Sage as a soft but light, bright color because their bathroom has dark walls. Here’s a link to my introductory video where I show you the before and talk about my plans for the project. Stay tuned all week as I share the different parts of the process – painting, waxing and hardware.

That was a pretty easy project and it made a huge difference in the look and feel of the room. I think this is going to encourage lots of extra teeth brushing because the boys want to spend so much time in there! What do you think?

After a few hours of painting, which included dry time and chicken quesadillas for dinner, I’m back to work with my Jolie Clear Wax and a Wax Brush I found in the basement! I love how easy it is to apply wax. People often ask if a brush is necessary and while the answer is no, it is a worthwhile investment if you have several projects on the books. Check out how easy this is. Just wipe off the excess with a lint-free towel.

Here’s a quick time lapse of the painting of the bathroom cabinets in the boys’ bathroom. It took two coats of Jolie in the color Sage with a little touch up on the edges of the cabinets.  Looking so much better!
