We’re slowly working our way out of the finished master closet and into the dreaded master bath. Before we can get to the fun part, we have take care of a few nitty gritty tasks in this room. First on my list was to paint the wood-trimmed doorway separating the bath and closet. This post only deserves 1/2 a “Phase” as you’ll notice in the title because it’s nothing revolutionary or ingenious – it just had to be done.
Here’s the doorway with the door removed and the hinge holes filled.
After some sanding, primer, and caulk, here’s how she looked.
(Yes, that’s gray caulk – our white was dried up and I didn’t realize it until I had my painting clothes on!)
And here’s the finished product, two coats of glossy white later.
(I think that’s just a shadow where the corner of the doorway was caulked with gray. Let me run and check… Yep! Just a shadow!)
Like I said, nothing revolutionary, but it had to be done! I can already tell this room is going to be interesting to photograph. We are not one of those homes blessed with natural light in our bathrooms. Any tips on low-light photography in small spaces? Other than “get a new camera?”
Thanks for reading, and come back tomorrow to see how I took advantage of our 71 degree weather!

















It looks great! We took our laundry room door off a few weeks ago and it is SO much nicer. Sometimes it works much better without a big door in the way.

It is amazing what white paint can do.. Looks fabulous
Hey Meredith – Thank you for coming by my blog! I so know how you feel about low light..I have NO natural light in my home..just covered up with trees. I struggle with it too. I love what you are doing and am following you now, so I can keep up with you & get some tips!!
100% improvement already. Paint is awesome!!
Meredith, I’m loving your blog! I found it a long time ago and thought I should put a stop to my blog-stalking. You are so creative and give me hope for the day that Jason and I get a house. Thanks for sharing! P.S. Thanks for the comment forever ago–I’m just getting back into the swing of things–and for following my much less cool blog.
