Pirates... Yar!

Well, it is time for another household update. There was this ugly mirror, one that made it throuh the fith century I think and came complete with black streaking and chips. Seen here...

Pretty gross all around on this bathroom if you ask me. See also the picture after taking the mirror off the wall up there. Nightmare city. Anyways, I took two whole days of my week vacation to strip the bathroom down and completely overhaul it. Isaiah (a.k.a. the boy) wanted a pirate bathroom and after much brokeness (money), swearing, sweat, and headache later, he got his wish. And this is the final outcome.

It really did turn out a whole lot better than I thought, considering this was my first wall paper job and I am still crossing my fingers in hopes that it doesn't all peel off like some old Three Stooges clip. All in all, I am very proud of me. (Pats self on back) And being that it is still the 17th, Happy Patty's day to ya'all. Care care all you out there in family land and remember I love you all. Outta here til next time...

Great job mr fix-it. advice: i paper a bathroom once with no window or exhaust fan. we took long hot steamy showers and you are right, wall paper started to fall off. so get that steam out fast friend....... great job pirates......kind of scary.

It's completely different - and way kool! I have never seen a pirate bathroom before and I think it is a great idea. I haven't checked the blog for a while so I am just seeing the pics of the living room as well. It looks gorgeous! I'm looking forward to seeing it in person hopefully the end of April. I will let you know soon. Congratulations on a job well done! Love, The Mom
