Bathroom Drab to Fab part 2

 This project didn't take as long as I thought it might, I did have a good but of anticipation to see the finished product!! Step by step this is what I did....
  Color Theme...I took paint chips and matched the wood and the floor colors which were not going to change. I then chose a wall color and picked out a granite color that would flow better with what I  already have (wood trim and flooring)







 








#1 Prep the area by removing old caulking, clean and run a fresh bead of paintable caulking around the sink and wall, let dry 24 hrs
#2  Protect walls and sink with painters tape. Apply primer to the clean dry surface (Used the kilz brand and applied 2 coats)
#3 Start applying your first layer of acrylic paint (granite has multi-colors) with a sea sponge or scrunched paper towel
#4 Apply second color and keep layering until you get the result you planned for
#5 After dried completely start applying the clear sealant (I applied 7-8 layers with 2 hr drying time between)
#6 Allow to dry then take a utility knife to score a clean line to remove the tape without peeling (gives a straight line against the wall)
