A New Hallway Lavatory Vainness Coloration (Goodbye Orange, Hi there Pink)

Proper right here’s how the bathroom with the orangish vanity has appeared since its makeover in 2019.

Nevertheless when the model new vanity countertop was put in at first of this week, it appeared even worse to me. (And it on a regular basis seems like a brighter orange when standing throughout the room than when viewing it from the hallway.)

When the countertop was put in, I wasn’t constructive how for for much longer I could stand to check out that vanity color. Properly, I found the reply to that question yesterday. 😀

I purchased material to make a model new bathe curtain for the bathroom (yow will discover the material right here – affiliate hyperlink), so I took that to Dwelling Depot to find a paint color. I narrowed it all the way down to 2 colors — Behr Glamorous (the one on the left) and Behr Ballerina Tutu (the one on the suitable). I decided to associate with Glamorous.

I’m so glad that the one I appreciated larger was referred to as Glamorous and by no means Ballerina Tutu. I’d should reject a color named Ballerina Tutu on principle alone. 😀 I’ve developed an precise love for pinks, nevertheless a pink color referred to as Ballerina Tutu is just a bit too on the nostril.

This was a relatively quick and simple endeavor on account of (1) the vanity isn’t that enormous, and (2) it was beforehand painted with latex paint and was in no way topcoated with a clear finish. So that implies that in order to vary the color, all I wanted to do was give each half a extremely quick sanding with 220-grit sandpaper, wipe off the sanding mud, after which brush the model new paint correct over it. I was previous thrilled to see that orange color go! Proper right here’s a side-by-side comparability of the model new Glamorous and the earlier Tandoori, although the model new color continues to be moist (and subsequently, brighter than the final word dry color).

I gave the vanity two coats of paint, and I painted it with a 2-inch brush. And since I was using a mannequin new quart of paint, I didn’t even add Floetrol. The paint was good correct out of the can, and it went on very simply.

I didn’t even take away the doorways or drawer fronts to paint. I merely painted the fronts and edges of the doorways first, after which opened the doorways and painted the backs of the doorways and the cabinet physique. I did the an identical with the drawers. I painted the doorway of the drawer fronts first, after which opened them and painted the once more of the drawer fronts, after which painted the cabinet physique. After which I left each half open to dry.

And proper right here it’s absolutely painted and dry.

I prefer it! I’m so excited to be rid of the orange. This color seems so vigorous and up to date as in contrast, and I prefer it with the gray countertop.

This vanity has modified colors many events over time. Let’s take just a bit journey once more, lets?

As soon as I did the unique toilet rework in 2015, I painted the vanity a teal color.

After which in 2019, I painted it gray. It was horrible and drab, and so not me.

After which in 2019, I gave the toilet a extra colourful makeover, and that’s as soon as I went with the Behr Tandoori. Your entire motive I went with that color is on account of it’s throughout the material I used for the bathe curtain. And the rationale I went with that bathe curtain material is on account of I needed one factor further vibrant, and I merely occurred to have that material obtainable.

I truly did love that toilet makeover for a while, nevertheless as the rest of the rooms started coming collectively, and I started to naturally gravitate further in path of pinks in its place of orangish corals, this vanity and the bathe curtain appeared means too harsh for me. And since they’re typically seen from the lounge and the music room, they really clashed with the lounge curtains and the music room couch.

So for a while now, I’ve been determined to say goodbye to the orangish vanity color, and usher in a pinker color. And now I lastly have it!
