A bathroom suspended in time is brought to the present with primer and paint freshening up a floating vanity and turning the boring beige space into a light and airy retreat. For this bathroom transformation, KILZ\u00ae<\/sup> Mold<\/strong> & Mildew<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0primer is used prior to painting \u2013 easily covering dark beige walls to ensure the new white paint will shine in its purest form and properly preparing the wood vanity for a fresh coat of soothing blue paint.<\/p>\n

\"Before<\/p>\n

A water-based primer-sealer-stain blocker specially designed for residential surfaces in high humidity, moisture and temperature environments, KILZ\u00ae<\/sup> Mold & Mildew<\/strong> primer contains an EPA-Registered active ingredient that creates a mold and mildew-resistant film that protects the primer film from mold and mildew growth.<\/p>\n

Once the primer is properly applied to the walls and vanity and allowed to dry, the bathroom is ready for paint! KILZ Tribute\u00ae<\/strong><\/a> in White Modern TB-09 <\/strong><\/a>brightens up the walls, while the same paint in Northern Sky TB-42 <\/strong><\/a>adds an airiness to the substantially sized vanity. KILZ Tribute<\/strong> provides a durable, highly scrubbable finish that resists staining, fading and peeling, ideal for DIY painting in bathrooms and beyond!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The light and bright bathroom makeover brings in a touch of contemporary flair with new brushed gold hardware and sleek circular mirrors topped with gold, globe-shaped light fixtures. And for the finishing touch, black and white tile flooring perfectly complements the new color scheme without competing \u2013 letting the beautiful blue vanity shine as the room\u2019s focal point.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
