Should have taken a "before" pic I guess, but anyway, for $350 we're extremely pleased with the results of our master bathroom. The mbath had one of those huge plain glass mirrors, was painted all white and had no curtains--only blinds, so you get the idea....

    WOW!!!! Very nice, Funny thing is me and the wife was out looking at things to redo our bathroom today. And the other thing that is a trip is our bathroom is almost the same setup, And our bathroom has one of those big wall mirrors.

    Very nice work. Just had the wife come down to look at your pics.

    That's what we're planning to do in all our bathrooms. The colors and the lights look good too. We still have the crappy full lengh mirrors with the industrial big white bulb light bars.

    I'm working at doing the finshing touches on our kitchen remodel today, while Mrs Rat is on front yard duty.

    Steve, that looks great man. Been a while since I've seen knockdown and bullnose corners. Very nice!

    It's all over Az, I'm sure it's a regional thing what with all the Mediteranian stucco and Santa Fe style homes. We have a Santa Fe style, with bullnoses and skip trowel finish.

    Good 'ol Tres Amigo's (Tucson furniture store for rustic Mexican stuf) for the mirrors and misc decorations; also the rusted wrought iron towel bars.

    Thanks all for the nice comments. Bev scored on the paint choices--they were "Firebrick" and a light tan color.

    Steve, you are really going all out with that desert southwestern theme, eh? What, do you live in Arizona or something?

    Looks nice!

    Yup, good ole Tres Amigo's has a few bucks of ours too (usually decided by my wife).

    I agree. White gets so boring after a short time, and it shows every little scuff mark. We only have 3 white rooms left in our house, and those will probably get painted in the next year or two.

    I don't know. The first thing I thought was shear genius. Really. It's a bathroom. I think the only thing that could top it is a lizard flask. What does a man do in a bathroom? He drains the lizard. Again shear genius Steve.
