Most things in the bathroom are fixed; therefore there is
little to do by way of decorating. Apart from the ceiling, every surface is
tiled; therefore, all I had to do was to prepare and paint the ceiling. This
meant applying masking tape to tiles where they came into contact with the
ceiling, and sanding a small area that was slightly stained. I also had to
apply masking tape to five chromium plated light fixtures.
I had some Dulux White Magic paint left over from when I decorated
the back bedroom. Rather than applying paint with a roller, as was the case
with the bedroom, I used a brush instead. That’s because I would not have been able
to manoeuvre a roller around the light fittings without painting them too!
I like Dulux White Magic paint, because when freshly applied,
it has a pink hue that disappears as it dries. For as long as the paint remains
moist, I can see where I may have missed.
The end result, when the masking tape was removed, was very
satisfactory. One coat of paint was quite sufficient, and it should last for
two or three years.
My wife was pleased, which means the job was worthwhile. I
doubt I would have bothered, if it had been up to me; therefore it’s a good
thing she keeps me up to the mark. I tend not to do such things, unless I deem
them absolutely necessary.
