I have been working on my spare bathroom trying to lighten it up a bit. I had a burgundy, yellow, and cream striped shower curtain in there, which I really liked when I put it in but it was time for a change. I found this little hand towel hanger in a shop in Salt Lake at that time. I really liked it and it fit the color scheme perfectly. Well time marchs on and I have been wanting to put some aqua blue, green, and tan in there. I found "Thee" shower curtain at Kolh's that I love! Later I found the rug that matches the shower curtains color, yeahhh! So I decided to give this little towel hanger an update as well. I bought one of those sample sized cans of paint (which I love, that Lowe's offers, because usually that's the paint I need).
I primed it to cover up the dark burgundy and then tried a cream color on it. It was too light for my walls so I then went for blue but, Oops, wrong color of blue. It really looked bad. Back to Lowe's for the right color.
I love the new color, it's just what I wanted. Since the bathroom is used mostly by my grand kids I decided to make it a little whimsical. The saying says "Just when a caterpillar thinks the world is over, he turns into a butterfly". They love it, so I have received the highest stamp of approval as possible.
Cute! no one would know it's the same piece. Kudos to you for the redo instead of buying new.
