i know i promised pictures, but i thought a video would be easier and nicer. granted i might be repeating myself here (from video to type) but some points need to be made. three coats of Kilz, whew! that alpine green just won’t give up the ghost! i had the same problem with it in the kitchen (which we will discuss at a later time and date. that is a beast of it’s own).

the bathroom feels 3 times larger and looks so much brighter. not to mention, it also looks so much less run down and ghetto. all with a half of a gallon of primer. wooo doggie! cheap fix quick and fast! just look at how that horrible faux tiled wall sort of blends in now more than it sticks out. so crazy. it’s refreshing.

i took a bath in there and i didn’t want to wash and run. i even took my time brushing my teeth, it was a delight. that green just makes a room feel so much more clastrophobic, and not to mention it was painted badly. so much damage was done because of that paint and when i was priming, parts just kind of fell off of things, like the plastic toilet paper holder came off the wall. it seems before the alpine green was wallpaper they just painted over. once they decided to paint over it, they screwed cheap plastic things into the wall and attached cheap plastic things on the wall with some kind of adhesive. when the toilet paper roll came off, so did some wallpaper and some wood it was badly screwed into.

i swear, the previous owners just didn’t give a crap about the way things worked, looked, or functioned. hell, i found bugs SMEARED into the wall underneath the mirror, partly painted. so you know they saw it, smeared it, and then brushed it over. dear lord.

i promise you, not all poor people are classless or careless. some of us work very hard for what little we have and we appreciate it and take care of the best to our abilities. and then there is the previous owners.

back to the bathroom and it’s new whiteness. it’s new hotness. this obviously isn’t the direction we ultimately want to go in, but for now it’ll do since the paint is here, might as well use it. i’m gonna paint some accents the same colors found in the shower curtain.

again, a cheap easy fix. if i had a ladder it would of been done in one day (at least the white parts). i think a gallon of the primer was some where around 12$. this was a 6$ fix. how’s that for changing the feel of a bad room on a budget??
