Alright kids... I can sense the anticipation for the outcome of the downstairs bathroom, and so I shall withhold from you no longer. I know it's not anything too extraordinary, but it is FAR superior to it's previous state of existence.
I realize that the burnt orange is a little obnoxious, but you have to consider the fact that I'm a little obnoxious, and it is my house after all. And, don't quote me on this, but I think it might be one of the things that my smokin hot husband actually likes about me. Crazy boy.
I photocopied a design (that is actually on the cover of my Bible) onto a transparency, and projected it onto the wall, traced with a pencil, and painted! It was super easy! I thought this room could use a little visual interest. And, since my home is a relatively permanent fixture in my future, I need to continue to elicit my creative side so I don't go CRAZY from all the harmonious stability. Creativity is my outlet. Don't judge me.

AMAZING.... and a little obnoxious makes life interesting.
brilliant!
I agree the "before" was hideous! The "after" is incredible. Some may not like burnt orange, but it totally works. And the mural is so not too big!
I have been lurking around reading your blog off and on... and I love it! It has been fun to see all that you have done with your house. I also like the first bathroom redo!
That looks amazing! I was kinda hoping you used a stencil cause I was going to steal the idea for my boring bathroom!
Obnoxious? Heck no! More like OUTSTANDING. But then I've never been one to be accused of being soft-spoken either ;) If you tell me this was free-hand I hate you. Seriously. But it still rocks.

As always you amaze me!! This looks fabulous!! I wish I had 1/10th of your artistic abilities!!! Awesome!
Amazing! Did you do it freehand or did you trace the pattern on the wall first? Me, I'd have to trace.
Awesome! I love how the mirror makes the burnt orange a work of art on a blue wall. Seriously gorgeous!
So beautiful!!!
I LOVE the mural. I grew up with burnt orange and the Texas Longhorns, so that is great and big is wonderful. I did something similar in my entry hall and loved it.
Wow!!
I want to become your BFF so I can convince you to do this at my house!!!! Absolutely gorgeous!!
did you freehand the design? it is really beautiful and stunning! How did you do the design?
i photocopied the design onto a transparency and projected the image onto the wall. then i just traced it with a pencil and painted it brown!
Oh my gosh! I live you. The design you did inspred me and the way you wrote made me laugh. Obnoxious and creative- perfect.
Not obnoxious at all. The 'before' was obnoxious. This is perfect, and the design is the perfect size for the room. Yum!
