Bathroom woes

When I bought my house less than a year ago, I loved everything about it -- neighborhood, yard size, layout, bedroom sizes, etc. but the one thing I didn't care so much about was the bathroom. Measuring about 4 x 10 sqft., it has several flaws. However this weekend I decided to take action!

First is the electric baseboard heater. Rusty as ever from years or possibly decades of moisture and humidity. From the advice of my handyman/ex, I had purchased a can of appliance paint. It sat in the bag like many things for my home DIY projects do for a while until I was sure I was up for the task. So in the middle of the night, while bored, I took to the task, cleaned the heater thoroughly and laid down plastic trash bags to help protect the floor and cabinet and donned on an makeshift nose and mouth cover to keep from breathing too many paint fumes. Oh I guess I should add that the girl at Kmart asked for my DOB when I purchased the paint. lol At first I thought, "what's this for, some sweepstakes? Extra Rewards points?" lol Then realized that there are people out there who sniff paint to get high. Darn... Anyway, here's the Before and After of my bathroom's electric baseboard heater DIY.

BEFORE

AFTER 
2 coats of Rustoleum Appliance Paint in white. Cost ~ $4. I definitely recommend that you paint outdoors with this stuff, where possible, or do it when you can open several windows in your house.

Hard to tell that it was severely rusted, huh? It's not perfect or new, but it is soooo much better than it was and that's all that matters to me. :) Stay tuned for more Bathroom Woes... Yes, because the vinyl flooring is terrible, not to mention, I got paint on the floor.
