I finally decided to move my bathroom mirror up enough so the doors clear my hairspray and stuff. While I had it down, I decided to get rid of the gold and white; I’ve never liked that. I decided upon hammered steel because I like it. Also because I had the paint already.

The “before”. Even P didn’t like the gold/white combo.

Taped up, paper-protected with the world’s ugliest Christmas wrapping paper, and ready to paint.

Primed with American Accents Ultra primer. I love that stuff.

Painted with the “hammered finish” spray paint. The hammered look doesn’t really show that much, but it’s better than the gold/white.

Now the light fixture. I hated this even more than the cabinet. I especially hated those round bulbs, but that’s another story, and this fixture will have to do for now, so I painted it. Taped up and ready to prime.

Primed.

Painted.

Closer view.

The finished product. I don’t love it, but with those spiral bulbs, I could perform neurosurgery in there, and it does have a sort of “industrial” look that I like. Eventually, I’ll replace the light fixture and the cabinet with something less busy.
