Eggplant no more

The half-bath on the first floor was purple when we moved in.  Now I am no stranger to purple walls, my first apartment bedroom's walls were purple, but it definitely clashed with the other colors that we chose for the house.  It wasn't too offensive so we waited a while, but the other day I suddenly couldn't stand it anymore and took it on.  Unfortunately the space was too small for two, so I embarked on this journey solo.  

Something interesting happened when I went to remove the lightswitch covers.  Keeping with the theme of the previous owners seeming to cut corners, I found out that they not only put the lightswitch cover back on while the paint was still wet, I found out that they painted over wallpaper when a huge chunk of it peeled up with the cover.  Ugh.  I glued it back down and prayed that the paint would keep it down until such time that we could pull it all up and do a proper job.  Unfazed, I pressed on, and after about six hours in a small space , just me and a paint can, the room looked great!  I love this Plumage color so much and am so excited to have it on all four walls of a room.
