The kids' bathroom is getting closer ")

I was finally able to get some painting done this afternoon - thank heavens for an opening window to help with ventilation. My counter tops, sinks and shower walls come on Wednesday so I wanted to get the painting done while all the trim is off, the toilet is out and etc. We decided on "Trusty Tan" for the color. Right now it's not so exciting to look at, but I think when I get my shower curtain, towels and decor up it will look nice.
This is my shower curtain.
This is the very nice, but very TALL sky light. It's a bugger to paint because it's so tall and it narrows as it nears the top (making for some tricky angles) so there's not much room to move around in. As you can see I've got to get up there and clean off some paint and wash the glass. I'm not sure how I'll accomplish that though because our extension ladder won't fit around the corner in the hallway, and my 6 ft. ladder isn't tall enough to allow me to get up high enough. Hopefully tomorrow I can figure something out.
The light in the shower area still works, but here's my light in the sink area. I had to haul a lamp in there for light until my new fixture comes.
In this picture and the next you can tell the most frustrating part of painting, for me anyway: you get the ceiling painted and then you do the walls. You ALWAYS get just a little bit of wall color on the ceiling, so you have to go back and trim the ceiling - which is when you get some of the ceiling paint on the wall - UGH!
I'll finish my "touch up" in the morning hopefully.
And last but not least, I had to peel back some of the paper that was down to protect the floor from paint, so I could see what it will look like together - cheap thrills I guess :)

I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me because the color looked pink in the first picture. Phew, thank goodness you pulled back the paper to show the floor. Then I could breathe.
