Tales of a Basement Bathroom Part 2 –Rona Paint Review & Giveaway




Todays post is featuring Rona.

036
So this is NOT a before and after.  This is the during.  As a reminder, the basement bathroom has been through a lot, but there is still a lot to go.

So far, we have re-done the electrical, plumbing, drywall, tiling, paint and ceiling texture.
Painting:  I recieved a gallon of paint from Rona to try out.  We got to select our own colors to try out.

The Rona Paint:

On the wall that had already been painted, the new paint was much lighter than the existing color.  We used 2 coats of paint on this wall, basically eliminating the primer. On the walls that had bare drywall, we did use a basic primer to coat it first, and then proceeded with 2 regular coats on these walls.  We probably could have gotten away with just 1 coat, but wanted to be thorough.

This is a great quality of paint, I plan on purchasing this paint for the bedroom on the other side of this wall, when we get there!

Still to do:
Find a light fixture
Mirror
Hang Towel Bars
Find a storage cabinet to go to the left of the vanity
Baseboards

What projects do you have in your house to finish?  Would you like a head start on your projects?
