Long ago there was a doorway (and steps up) to get through this wall into the the next bedroom. It's a bathroom that opens up to Nathan and Daniel's bedroom, and used to open up to the sewing room.
Philip finished the sink cabinet, so I needed to get my act together and finish off the drywall work and painting. The sink was preserved from the original unit that had been unable to handle the moisture. The unit is made of cedar wood that was in the garage when we moved in. We are such a green family re-purposing everything. I even reused drywall from a wall I took down downstairs. :p
It is an imperfect job, but the camera lighting doesn't pick up the unevenness on the wall. :) And yes, I need to keep getting that rust out of the shower...but it takes a lot of elbow grease. I told myself "three tiles every time" I clean the washroom. Eventually it will look good too. Nathan is very pleased with the washroom. All it needs is a small cupboard on the wall for storage.
And in the sewing room, I still have to put up the molding back. I am
a bit short actually, and hopefully can find a matching piece and trim
it to size from somewhere else in the house.
I was practicing painting so that when we paint the living room we know what we are doing...well, Philip thinks that he may find time to do the patching and mudding after all (so I don't do it. :o)

Looking good from here Roze! nice you got it done! About that rust in the shower, I use Lysol toilet bowl cleaner. Put on rubber gloves!!! and cover that whole area with that stuff(it might take the whole container)and put the fan on and shut the door. Come back 10 or 20 minutes later and wipe it off and rinse well. You may want to wear a mask as well. Sure saves the elbows!
Looks great! So nice to have it done. Funny, just yesterday I heard the same tip about the Lysol Toilet bowl cleaner but I didn't listen too closely to the details. 😉 I wish you much success with it!
