Master Bathroom RE-Paint Party
{Master Bathroom Painting – Take 2}
Just wasn’t working for us… and our “vision” that we had in mind.
So yesterday I headed out to find a warmer… darker gray color.
I think I hit the nail right on the head, with Wood Smoke from Glidden.
Here is what this space looks like now…
DEFINITELY the perfect color… for what we are doing.
Can you just imagine the white planks and chunky framed mirror????
Oooo… I can ๐
Alright… well here’s how the
“Paint Party” went down … let’s just say, it was sort of a family affair.
but when ISN’T it, with kids, right??? ha!
Oh! PS.
That painting “tool” that we love…is
The Shur – Line Paint Edger
I think it’s about $2.75. And worth EVERY LITTLE PENNY
๐
Michelle says
I love the cool colors throughout your home!

I love that edger I get my painting done so muck quicker with it.
Jessica says
Ha, I did the same thing. I bought a blue that I thought would be awesome, but it turned out to be a disaster, so like you, I had to start over. Funny thing is, I went with gray as well… Love your blog. Keep up the great work!

So much fun! Thanks for sharing, and wow your husband is such a good sport!
Susie B says
I love that little paint edger thing-a-ma-jig tool too! I won't start a painting project unless I know I have it! The pads rinse out pretty good too!
How do you get your hubby to be such a great sport! You are lucky!
Bud & Kim says
Ha, ha, ha! The best part is Cason dancing when he doesn't know you're filming. That's it I am posting when we paint and put are carpet in. Too funny!
Davis and Laura says

Dara Lynn says
You guys are a hoot!!!!! I had the same problem with gray… ended up going green! lol I am so ready for the "dream" boards!!!
Brook says
What a great video! ๐ We use the Shur-line tool too, but most likely because our house is almost 60 years old, we still end up with paint on the ceiling. ๐
Monica says
When we built our house a few years ago, that cheap little edging tool from Shur-Line saved my sanity! I couldn't live without it ๐
Danielle says
Can I just say you are a brilliant blogger!! I LOVE you and your sweet family and I totally think we were sisters in another life. What an inspiration you are…..you and that gorgeous house!! Someday I'm going to Beadboard my ceiling…thank you Cason…oops I mean Shelley. Keep it comin' you perky People!!
Jen says
Love this color! We painted our 1/2 bath this color!!
Cynthia says
I like it! I use those edgers all the time. I also use A LOT of baby wipes. They are perfect to roll the wheels of the edger over to make sure all the paint is off them and for cleaning up little 'oops' spots on the wall quickly.
Leilani says
FYI: FROG TAPE is worth every penny! I just tried it on my blue wall and I will never use anything else… just a tip you know, for your NEXT AmAzInG project!
Jen @ tatertotsandjello.com says
I agree! That little paint tool is my favorite painting tool of all time. Love it!
Love that new color Shelley!! I finally got my cool vinyl on my mixer and will take pictures in the morning and post them ๐
This week is kicking my butt. I am ready for Halloween to be over already. Have a fun weekend!!

You mentioned you used Glidden paint, how do you like it? I went to Wal-Mart to get a can of Kiltz paint and the lady there said that Wal-mart was not going to be selling Kiltz anymore, that Glidden was going to take its place. By the way, I love the color you chose!!
Christina says
Such a cute video! I am on my way to get that edger thingy!
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
I swear by the Shur-Line Paint Edger too! Ah-mazing! I loved the helpful man at Lowe's who told me to paint the paint on the the edger with a brush, then edge. Genius!
The Peterson Family says
OK, I totally love that you guys are having a dance party while doing home makeover projects. You guys rock! I can't wait to see what it looks like.
firewife says
Love your new room , you are so creative. Could you do a tutorial on making those little movies, they are so fun.
Jen and her men says
I never watch videos online, but I watched yours. Darling! You and your fabulous hubby are a great team. Thanks for making me smile! ๐ Hope the bathroom turns out super-terrific!!
Karie says
It will look great no matter what color you use! But love the grey. . . and there is so much personality in that household I don't know how you handle it!:) Oh, by the way the littlest girl looks just like her Daddy! Wow! Cute, cute family.
Rach says

I love the new color! Grey is the best. We're in a rental with peachy pinky off-white walls. BLEGH. Not my favorite.
BTW, it was great to meet you at the DownEast Home event! You're so rad. I can't wait to see what you do with your mirror! Oh, and P.S. thanks SO much for the ride home!!
Amy {The Idea Room} says
Love your new color! Can I just copy you room for room? Or better yet, will you come and do my house when you get yours done?? Pretty please…
Michelle @ Ten June says
Hi Shelley! Can I just say that your advice on the Shur-Line tool just about changed my life? Ha! Ok not really but it sure has made painting my kitchen/dining room/breakfast room a whole lot easier. THANK YOU for sharing! I'm absolutely giving you a shout out on my blog for this one ๐
Katie Davis says
I heart your blog. And your style. Where did you get that darling rug in your bathroom? PLease share!

What do you use to video? Your phone or a small video camera? We're needing one for school projects and we've only borrowed someone's flip video camera. Thanks!

Just thought I would say thank you, from my sister, for mentioning the sureline thing. Saved her life. She is painting her whole rental house and is 7 months pregnant. Beats taping. Thanks again.
Mindy says
Is it totally creepy to say I want your bed? I love it so.
The bathroom looks great. I have been wanting to do gray. You've inspired me to…well think about it anyway. ๐
Courtney Adkins says
