Bathroom Update

Bathroom update: 
As usual, we are running a little behind but wanted to post an update on what we've accomplished so far.  The tile floor has been laid, the vanity has been delivered and the bathroom linen closet is painted!



I was not looking forward to painting the closet due to the fact that I either had to remove all of the shelving and brackets or try to paint around everything which I knew the outcome wouldn't jive with my type A personality.  Dreading the job, I was racking my brain of how I could create a short cut to get around removing all of those tiny brackets that held up our multiple wire shelving with still receiving an acceptable outcome.  


Then as I was casually browsing the children's section in Ikea- ha, not really I was battling with a toddler and I crying infant when I spotted the "Mala" craft brushes.  I figured that could edge each bracket using one of these tiny but sturdy brushes.  It HAD to work because I REALLY did not want to remove each bracket.  


That night, after the kids went to bed I removed all of the shelving and got to work on edging the brackets.  It worked!  It only took about 10 minutes to edge all of the brackets- a HUGE time saver!  After edging, I took a small roller to paint the rest of the closet.  The color I'm using is Gray Owl by Benjamin Moore, a beautiful bluish gray.  It turned out great! 

Below is the before and after. (We still need to add the white baseboards.)
