World's Ugliest Bathroom - Phase 1

We had the World's Ugliest Bathroom. Seriously. It was so heinous we submitted to the bathroom makeover show on HGTV, but for reasons unknown they didn't pick us. Perhaps they were intimidated by just how craptacular it was?

Let's go over its many attributes:
- Walls spray painted silver. Yes, with actual Krylon spray paint.
- Powder blue commode and matching sink...cracked sink, that is...sitting in a dingy 50's vanity.
- Dark blue and brown vinyl floor.
- Cheap aluminum window.
- Ceiling fan poorly installed with what appears to be 15 years of mold and dust. Legionaire's disease anyone?
- Particle board medicine cabinet complete with Knight Rider stickers featuring both David Hasselhoff and KIT! (I should note that Chris, reading this over my shoulded, noted that the car's name is actually an acronym and should be in caps. Little frightened right now.)
- Light fixture with huge 80's globe lights (we'd taken it off by the time I took these, but trust me, it was there).
- Broken towel racks.

Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself...

We are happy to report that Phase 1 is now complete! We...
...painted it "Reflecting Pool" blue/white. Only took one coat of primer AND two coats of paint.
...replaced all towel rods and the paper holder with lovely brushed nickel pieces.
...trashed the medicine cabinet in favor of a mirror (sorry, KIT!).
...installed a new light fixture that actually matches the other fixtures (I know, crazy!).
...yanked the distgusting vent and put in a clean new one.

This last part needs special mention. The former residents actually thought it was a good idea to use electrical tape to connect the ducting to the exterior vent...and that was the least of it. It took Chris about 3 hours to replace the ceiling fan, ducting and exterior vent. Yep, Super Hub!

Here's the result (note, we haven't gotten to the trim yet). Up next will be Phase 2...fixing the floor. Followed by Phase 3, aka all things powder blue going bye-bye.
