Project Day: Quick Fix Bathroom

Our house is over 20 years old. For the most part it has not dated. But there were rooms I wanted to change as soon as we purchased it. The bathrooms and the kitchen. Having done two out of three I was left with my 1980's bathroom and little budget left. We decided to work with what was there. We got the old 'flash gordon' lino ripped up last week and new lino put down. Today I have decided to recover the front of the vanity sink with oilcloth. Here's what I did:

• Remove handles on all cupboard doors.
  
• Lightly sanded the front of each door/drawer. Wipe clean.
  
• Measure the dimensions of each space to be covered and cut out the matching pieces of fabric [ oilcloth is a great fabric to work with, coated in PVC plastic you just wipe it down with a damp cloth].
• Using heavy duty /craft wood glue I painted it on quite thick and then attached each piece carefully, smoothing it out. Rubbing the edges with a damp rag/cloth
  
• Gave it a few hours to dry.
• Re-attached the drawer handles.
  

Add some wicker, blooms and vintage knick knacks and it was finished. I am happy with my new/old bathroom!
Have a great weekend everyone. Thanks for all your encouraging comments and visits this week.
