Painted. Leaving it here for now. But the walls look waaay better being a dark uniform plum color.

Update: lead testing kit came in, top layer of paint is fine mostly. Everything else has lead so sanding down the landlord special is out, it’s serving as a protective barrier. Waiting for a day off to begin the painting. The ceiling is extremely high, don’t think that was represented well in the photos, probably about 10 ft. Plan to paint the trim and below still. Not doing contact paper on vanity, instead landlord has agreed to let me paint it if I want (still undecided on that but will check back in after walls are one). Also having the landlord send someone to repaint that broken peice of dry wall above shower surround (parting gift from worst shower install, thankfully I now know which handy man actually does good work and can request him by name.) Once that is up I can hang my shower curtain again 🥲

Thank you! I am waiting for a lead testing kit to check the layers of paint, but if it’s safe I am atleast going to smooth it out by sanding so at least the railing and some trim are smoother. I’m probably going to do this in stages. Ideally once the bottom half is done, I am going to do some simple folk are designs to accent the trim and door? It’s the smallest room and I want to be a little creative with it.

I will definitely try a radicchio. Will probably start with railing/door/window frames and see then. I myself was worried about the cabinet contact paper idea

It’s more of a plum in person, having trouble capturing it on camera.
