This project was done as
a result of having a "BUG"
after I painted the moldings,
closets etc... I still figured I hadn't
done enough damage yet so
I decided to tackle the drab looking
bathroom/laundry room that
we have off of the Family room.
I will explain the pictures
as they progress.
The first picture is one
of what it looked like prior to
me doing anything.
With most of my projects
I forget to do before & after pictures, perhaps its because I just
am so anxious to
jump into the projects.

See the pretty 1960 wallpaper it had on it.
Luckily it came off easily, it's the glue
that was difficult to remove,
several wash downs later I did finally
get it all removed.
This picture is that of the wall pictured
above after work was complete.
This is another wall in the same room. The
wallpaper border was designed and created by myself. I made from
it from the Sunday comic strips. It was all measured up mounted on
a thin white cardboard and then laminating with clear contact
. Once this was completed it was then mounted applying a thin coat
of wall paper glue and pressed into place..
This hardest part was not collecting or
cutting the paper to precise sizes but rather applying it to a base and
covering it with the clear contact without getting any bubbles in it.
The results are great looking I'm quite
pleased with the results.
This is the Bathroom Sink cabinet I commissioned
Little Net to spruce up
while she was home on break. The Results
are Fantastic.
The cabinet was ready for the trash as
it sat & rather then toss it we took off
all the decorative plastic hardware sanded
it down to its original flake board
and I handed Lil Net some Paint and Comic
Strips and told her to do her thing.

Above, are a couple of the wall plates
I made for the bathroom after changing all
the electrical outlets. The original ones
were ivory vs white. I took stickers and
other finds made a collage out of them,
applied clear contact and gave each one
a different comic strip theme.
I even redid the bathroom trash can
with leftover comic strips.
Again, this was accomplished by taking
comic strips cut from
the newspaper and laminated them onto
a plastic bathroom
garbage can just below the upper lip of
the can.
Take NOTE.. The floor wound up being
the biggest challenge of all. Replacing the old one required removing washer/dryer
and toilet from the room.
I made the entire room a basic white the
yellowed patterned floor no longer
matched. Net gets the CREDIT for the floor,
I would not have been able
