One Room Challenge Week 2 Bathroom Progress - www.refashionablylate.com

Hey everyone!  It’s week 2 of the One Room Challenge.  Woohoo!  We’ve made it to week 2!  Doesn’t seem like much but man these projects are not for the faint at heart.  It’s a lot of work!  I really enjoy it though…for the most part.  This past week we have been working on removing two cabinets, repairing holes, priming walls and painting the woodwork and trim.  This is probably the least fun part of the process of this transformation.

If you missed last week’s post with all of the before pictures you can find it here:

Week 1

I’m also doing our nursery and here is our progress:

Week 1

My husband and father-in-law removed the cabinet above the toilet and the medicine cabinet on the side of the mirror.  It was a fairly easy process as they were just screwed into the wall.  It only took a little force to pull them off because they had years of caked on paint around the edges.  Once the cabinets were removed we had to fill in the holes with Dry Dex and then sand down the caked on paint and covered holes.

We weren’t able to 100% sand it down perfectly so next I added a thick layer of primer to hopefully even out the area.  Once the paint is dry we plan to sand it a little more evenly before we add our final paint.

Well this didn’t work as I had hoped as you could still visibly see the lines from the previous caked on paint. I decided to get my BFF Dry Dex out and outline the area.  My husband is so excited to do some sanding again! 🙂One Room Challenge Week 2 Bathroom Progress - www.refashionablylate.comOne Room Challenge Week 2 Bathroom Progress - www.refashionablylate.com

I also wanted to get all of my cabinets and woodwork painted sooner than later.  I didn’t want to have to do a ton of taping off so I thought this was a great time.  I didn’t have to tape off the wall or the floor as they are both going to be painted and replaced.  I started with two coats of primer and then two coats of paint.  I continued with the same color I used on our kitchen remodel, Zurich White, by Sherwin-Williams.  I also sprayed the cabinet doors with a paint sprayer so I would have an even and smooth finish.  For a detailed tutorial on how to paint cabinets you can check out my kitchen tutorial here.

  2. You are so lucky that you have accomplished so much, I was stuck in a hotel room and just got back Monday, I love the knobs on the vanity so clean and chic. Everything is coming together for you right on track.

  7. All that work on your wall makes me dread pulling down our massive mirror in our master one day, lol, but it looks great on your end so it must be worth it! Loving the hardware choices too!

    • Thanks Iris! The mirror wasn’t that hard to do. Ours wasn’t glued to the wall thankfully but it was caked on with a few coats of paint! So it’s just evening out the wall now! 🙂

    • Yes seeing the room slowly come together is super rewarding! The best is when it will be done and I can just relax and wait for baby to come!

    • Thanks Tara! I love the glass knobs too! Haha I know I’m a little crazy for doing two rooms but it does feel good to get them done before baby!
