Demolition In The Studio Half Rest room

However now I’m within the course of of creating some modifications in order that the lavatory will stream higher with my new imaginative and prescient for my studio. I’ve already repainted the self-importance, painted the ground, and designed a brand new wallpaper that may go on the partitions. That wallpaper seems to be like this…

Just a few weeks in the past, I made a decision to interchange the yellow accent tile with a reed-type design utilizing dowel rods. I spent numerous time eradicating the yellow tiles in half of the lavatory, after which slicing and sanding items of dowel rods and gluing them to the wall.

That was a enjoyable venture, and I’d like to see it accomplished, however I made a decision that it simply wasn’t proper for this lavatory. So final night time, I spend a while popping these off of the wall with slightly 5-inch prybar.

The identical can’t be stated for the yellow tiles, although. The half of the room during which I had already taken the yellow tiles off of the partitions had three massive gouges within the drywall from me prying these tiles off of the wall. I didn’t trouble patching them earlier than gluing on the dowels, however now that my plans have modified, they usually’ll be lined by nothing however wallpaper or paint, I’ll should restore them.

However utilizing the warmth gun to take away them made issues a lot simpler. I used to be in a position to get the second half of the tiles (and the sticky sheets) off of the partitions with no harm to the drywall.

It did peel off numerous primer and paint from the drywall, which has left numerous very uneven areas that may should be mudded over and sanded clean earlier than I can transfer on with paint and wallpaper, however that’s fairly easy.

Now that I’ve determined to take away the accent and chair rail, I’ll be capable to have a full apron on the window trim. As a result of the chair rail got here up so excessive, I’ve had this tiny little 1-inch apron sandwiched between the window sill and the chair rail all these years. That’s a type of issues that basically irritated me, however I didn’t actually have every other selection if I wished a chair rail.

However now that the chair rail is gone, there will probably be loads of room for a full apron. It’ll look so a lot better!

The trim across the mirror, which was achieved precisely just like the window and door trim, was additionally lacking an apron.

Regardless that there will probably be loads of room for an apron now, I’ve determined to take away it fully and discover a good framed mirror to make use of on this room as a substitute.

Once I did this lavatory (and the hallway lavatory) years in the past, I cherished the thought of framing out the mirrors to match the home windows and doorways. However I’m prepared to maneuver previous that look now. I need to preserve the window and door trim on the home windows and doorways, after which take the chance to herald slightly additional one thing with the mirrors.

Sadly, I glued this mirror on to the wall, so I’m positive getting it off will trigger some harm that may want restore.

So issues on this lavatory appear to be an entire mess proper now, but it surely has to worsen earlier than it will get higher. I’m very glad it’s a tiny lavatory, so regardless that the partitions will want some restore earlier than I can wallpaper, a minimum of I don’t have numerous space to cowl. I’m simply actually excited to lastly get the wallpaper on the partitions! I’ve had the wallpaper for weeks, and I’m able to see some progress on it.
