My weekend project

I got ambitious this last weekend, and decided it was time for a change. I decided to redecorate my extra bathroom, to make it a little more grown up and less dorm roomy. I've been wanting to try doing one of those crazy paint techniques I've seen on HGTV (you know..the ones that look so stinkin' awesome, but you have to be a professional to achieve the right look) I decided to go with the metal finish look, and well, I have to admit...it wasn't as hard as I suspected! It was so simple! The hardest part was having to wait for the horribly pink basecoat to dry to do the cool metallic finish! I was so excited about the finished product that I now want to paint my entire house! Here is a before and after shot:

I'm still looking for some fun stuff to put on the walls and want to add just a few finishing touches, but so far I LOVE MY NEW BATHROOM!
