Studio Bathroom Progress (It’s Not Much, But It’s Progress!)

I had put in the tile utilizing these sticky pads as an alternative of mortar, and getting these off of the wall triggered harm to the drywall. All the way in which across the room, it took off the primer and paint layer, leaving the primer and paint layer that remained very unfastened and jagged. So I wanted to get that smoothed out in order that I may put drywall mud over it. That course of went pretty nicely on this space…

I used to be utilizing a 6-inch steel drywall knife to do that, and once I bought to this wall, the primer and paint layer got here off like I used to be eradicating wallpaper. I’m a bit obsessive in terms of peeling issues, so I simply stored scraping and peeling, and earlier than I knew it, I had peeled this a lot off of the wall.

I may have stored going. I wished to maintain going as a result of, once more, I’ve this bizarre obsession with issues that peel off simply. However I noticed that if I didn’t discover a stopping level, I’d spend the following week peeling these partitions, and that may be an enormous waste of time. I simply wanted to a stopping level the place the entire edges had been flat and adhered to the wall in order that I can mud over the sides. I feel I lastly have the entire edges to that time now, and I’ll be mudding the room right now. My objective is to get the partitions sanded, primed, and prepared for wallpaper by the top of the day right now.

I bumped into an issue with the mirror, although. I can not get this factor off of the wall.

I used to put in all the things — each single piece of trim — with development adhesive. I realized a few years in the past that utilizing development adhesive on all the things is a large waste of money and time, and if I ever wished to take away the trim, it destroyed the drywall. However clearly, I didn’t study that lesson with mirrors.

I do know I used mirror mastic to connect this to the wall, and evidently, I used a whole tube of it for this small mirror. I can’t get this factor to budge in any respect. I’m not involved about breaking the mirror since I gained’t be reusing it. So I wasn’t even being light with it. However regardless of how a lot I pried, and it doesn’t matter what I used to shove between the wall and the mirror to separate the 2, I couldn’t make any headway on it. So in case you have any recommendation on tips on how to take away a mirror that’s glued to the wall with mirror mastic, I’d love to listen to it!

One design choice that I nonetheless have to work out is tips on how to transition from the wainscoting to the wallpaper. On this unique toilet design, I used a row of tiles. They supplied a backsplash for the sink space, after which I carried them across the room as an accent.

However I can’t even think about utilizing tiles with this wallpaper. I don’t assume there’s any sort of tile that may look good with this wallpaper lined in squares.

Sq. tiles like I had earlier than actually wouldn’t work. That may be squares with squares, and that’s overkill. Rectangle tiles wouldn’t work, both. I considered utilizing white penny tiles with white grout, however when I attempt to image that in my thoughts, I feel it will be manner too busy additionally.

So I feel I’ll finish utilizing wooden. Initially, I believed that utilizing wooden may not be the very best thought since it is going to be a backsplash across the sink space, however individuals use wainscoting behind and round sinks in bogs on a regular basis. It’s truly quite common. And it’s actually the one choice I feel will work with the wallpaper. I think about ending off the highest of the wainscoting to look much like the wainscoting on this toilet. (Photograph from Houzz. Rest room by Rachael Liberman Design, LLC.)

However in my toilet, that high vast piece of lumber will sit proper on high of the countertop. I can envision that, and I feel it’s the one choice that can end off the highest of the wainscoting with out being too busy and competing with the wallpaper.

The image body molding has to remain precisely the place it’s. I don’t have the choice of constructing it taller or swapping it out for one thing totally different as a result of the entire cause I added image body molding to this room is to disguise the detachable panel behind the bathroom.

That panel is detachable to entry the pump behind the bathroom. So the image body molding has to remain, and it has to remain precisely the place it’s.

In order that’s the progress and the plan for now. And now that I’ve the partitions scraped and prepared for drywall mud, I’m hoping to make a whole lot of progress in right here over the weekend. I’m anxious to get that wallpaper up!!
