We still had a few rough spots on the ceiling and walls so we decided to add a little sand texture to our paint. Both Meric and I are fans of white ceilings so all of our ceilings are being painted white. We got what looked like a light grey paint for the bathroom walls. (All of our indoor paint colors came cheap from the mis-tint section of Home Depot. Can't beat $9 a gallon.) Once the paint was on the wall it turned out to be a more of a light blue grey. I love the color and think it looks better than the grey we thought it was.
Another thing that needed to be painted was the shower. Yes I said painted. We found a tub and tile paint that got really good reviews. It was a lot of prep work, including the patching. Meric spent a lot of time patching and sanding to get the section smooth. I was nervous about painting the shower but I followed the directions to the letter and it turned out great. I was amazed that a paint would look so good on a shower.

Next came the sink vanity. Should have been an easy install. Just put it in the spot the old vanity sat. Well if it were easy it wouldn't be one of our projects so... it wasn't that simple. Our walls weren't exactly straight so some modifications needed to be made to the back of the vanity. Meric (with Mel's help) sanded down the back of the vanity so that it could be successfully placed in the bathroom.
The finishing touches were installing the trim and towel bars. With those touches done we officially finished a project! It took longer than we wanted it too but the results were worth it.
