The VERY bright result in the bedroom!

I moved into my "new to me" condo nearly two years ago. Loved almost everything about it but the very 1970s bathroom.

Beige tiles with brown sunflowers? Almond fixtures! Textured wallpaper!?! I hated that every time I sat down to pee I saw how someone has done a shitty job taking out a shower door and just didn't know how to fix it on my own. I was overwhelmed by the cost and time it takes to renovate a bathroom (new tub? bathroom cabinet? someone who knows how to tile? what kind of taps?) so I waited.

Oh, the the textured wallpaper!

After organizing the shed in my backyard, I took all of my girly fabric scraps, a can of spray paint, and half a can of latex interior white and made this plain old shed my girly getaway.

All I did was rearrange tools and paint the place, but you'll be surprised at the difference that made!

We chose one of the hottest days of the year to paint our garage. And not just to paint our garage, but to paint it with four different colors of stripes.

Lemme tell you, I've got stripe-painting skillz.

When we moved in, the bathroom walls were pure white. Now, they're pink, yellow, blue, and green — and they tell the world we're science nerds.

These spice racks seem so useful, but I've never figured out what to do with them. Cynthia to the rescue with a pink rehab into a craft caddy.

When one thinks about the easiest room in her or his house to makeover which is it? The bathroom? Guest room? Mudroom?

In our house it was most definitely the laundry room. So off to Lowe's we went with a soothing vision dancing in our head. And we killed it.

Remember Sara, of the heavenly laundry room redo? This is her living room makeover. Enjoy!

Hexotica runs a lovely gothic fashion blog, and shares with us today this mini transformation of a creamy, curvy table into a glossy piece which fits more comfortably into her gothiness.
