Updating Maia's bathroom to a Spa-like room

Here we are with the first coat of black paint.


This is about the third coat.




Below is the plaster product I used on the walls, over the wallpaper.




This is a light coat where you can see the striped wallpaper underneath.




This is a heavier coat. I put two thick coats to get the texture I wanted.



Back to the cabinets, I finished them with a satin varnish and simple silver knobs.




Getting the mirror frame was hard. I probably put 750 coats, maybe, but a lot.




Another plaster application in progress.




I rolled on a cool blue-gray paint color over the plaster then a satin glaze. The tile accent was beige, so I painted over it and put Annie Sloan wax over it to seal.



Now some decorative accents. I wanted a floating shelf and found one the comes with a hanging kit.





After hanging the shelf, I printed out the photos onto card stock. It creates a soft, almost waterpaint effect. The top is Maia's horse Rumy.



This photo shows the left and right walls. 



This horse drawing was a steal at Kirklands.





We love it!!
