DIY Penny Floor by BA.

The guest bathroom remodel. Aka, the penny floor. Also known as The Abe Room. Or better known as, my own personal hell. Last but not least, universally known as, the project that went on forever.

The Start, no looking back now!

Well, I wished I had taken photos of the crappy bathroom before I started the make over.  First step, pull trim out and strip the wallpaper. Second, scrape and sand popcorn ceiling. (ugh) Step three, pull out the toilet. Fourth step, apply plaster to walls.  While that’s drying I took the opportunity to paint the toilet a copper color.  Things are moving along rather well and problem free.  The plaster was dry after two days and so the painting began.  I put on about five coats of paint.  The plaster really sucked it up but I’m very happy with the outcome.  The walls have a leather look to them.

Now…. Now it’s time to tackle the penny floor.
