Dream Bathroom
An everyday space gets a coat of unexpected flair in this stylish bathroom makeover. Priming the walls and vanity with KILZ® Kitchen & Bath ensures a mildew resistant finish that can withstand a bathroom’s typical humidity, moisture and changing temperatures. Proper priming also provides a solid anchor for paints – in this case a deep purple wall and coral-hued bath vanity. A painted “wall paper” accent wall and grapefruit-pink mirror complete the space.
BOLD ACCENT WALL
WHAT TO USE
- Primer: KILZ® Kitchen & Bath
- Paint: KILZ Complete Coat® in
Mulberry RA100-02 - Tape
- Damp Cloth
- Drop Cloth
- Nylon / Polyester Blend Brush
- 1/2”-3/4” Nap Roller
- Paint Tray
- Can Key
- Stir Stick
WHAT TO DO
Step 1:
Wipe down the chosen accent wall with a damp cloth to ensure it is clean and free of dust. Allow the surface to dry.
Step 2:
Tape around the baseboards, trim and moldings.
Step 3:
To ensure a mildew-resistant finish, apply 1 coat of KILZ Kitchen & Bath (stirring thoroughly before and occasionally during use) and allow to dry. Apply primer using a brush first to “cut in" around the edges, then use a roller to fill in.
Step 4:
Once primer is dry, apply KILZ Complete Coat in Mulberry* RA100-02 using the same application method as the primer (using a brush first to cut in around the edges 4 to 6 feet at a time, then use a roller to fill in those sections before moving along).
Step 5:
Remove tape before paint is fully dry and you’re done!
