I have been busy in the house creating awesomeness and making my husband cringe! I jest on the making my husband cringe. It is more like a sigh full of strained patience as I jot around covered in caulk and paint of various shades.
This week I hosted my first (and only) Tupperware party! Yes, Tupperware still has parties! Who knew?! Anyway, I wanted to get the house ready for company so I decided that my bathroom needed to be painted IMMEDIATELY.
I went to the closet and grabbed the gallon of paint that has been nesting there since I bought it last summer. Once stirred it brought glory to my drab white walls!
The color did just what I wanted but I realized that the built in medicine cabinet was nothing short of a glaring white boil on the beauty of my walls. Never one to let something mar my decor I got myself to the garage and dug through my stash until I found JUST the thing!
I painted the inset area of the cabinet a pink color that I mixed up on my own. Upon reflection I really should have tested it and done a bit of tweaking on the color but once the whole thing was completed the color blended.
You can see that the color of the inset and the tile are a couple of shades different but all in all it works out fine.
I painted the wood medallion a bright white and rubbed it with a silver wax to bring out the features. Then broke out the E6000 to glue it on. I didn't want to put a hole in the cabinet and the E6000 will hold until I go to pry it off.

If my guess is correct there will be minimal scarring of the wood when I take the medallion off. ( I say when because I am a sucker for redecorating...obviously! ; )
Just a few dots of glue did it. I secured it with painter's tape overnight.
Below is the finished product. The picture is a bit off because I have a small bathroom and I wanted to get the wall color, the tile color and the cabinet all in one picture.

All in all I am exceptionally pleased with the result and even my less than enthused husband had to admit that he liked it!
