I've spent the past few days straining and sweating in the bathroom. No, not like that, let me explain.
At some point the idea to turn our guest bathroom into a Super Mario wonderland was formulated and it stuck. It took forever to start and we chose the inopportune time of late April to start, just as classwork was piling up. We finally finished the first part this past weekend, very late Sunday night after three consecutive days of work. This is just the first part, though, we're starting the next level, in the second room of this bathroom, next weekend. And after that we have plans for shelves, custom light switches, fixing up a themed shower curtain, certain Marionoises somehow happening, Club Nintendo towels, and so on. The ideas never really seem to stop flowing. And yet, as we were finishing this first level yesterday my boyfriend mentioned doing yet another themed room.
Ahem. As for now, here's our (mostly) finished rendition of level 2-2 from the original Super Mario Bros.. After spending three days in a row standing and looking up I'm going to take these next few days to sit.

I love stuff like this. It's so nerdy, but awesome!
I remember Recapping "both" of your introduction blogs last week and it's nice to see you followup with another blog, as I've seen far too many times that a person will make an intro blog, only to never be seen again! >_< Thanks for that as well!
Last but not least, please do explain the (as I call them) "Little Sister Portal" in your sidebar please! ^_^
This is really stunning!
Also, what is that thing you are building/destroying with that wrench in your sidebar?
Thank you! I'd like to try to get something up here every week at least but I have been rather busy obviously :)
As for the "Little Sister vent," as I call it...it was a surprise present for my boyfriend's birthday last year from his dad, who made it all by hand. The base of it is a door, actually (I think?). That picture was taken moments after walking through the door of his parents' house and being taken aback by that wonderful thing staring back at us, then I had to go grab a wrench. Moving it to our house was a pain, though, thankfully it stayed intact.

THIS IS SO.....
HOLY CRAP
My cousin was actually joking about turning this into some sort of business. And I actually thought about doing a Sonic theme because it fits bathrooms so well..."gotta go fast" and everything.
If someone does a battletoads wind tunnel design, then ill work as their personal slave.
Whoa front page! Well okay then. I guess it's funny because it's only halfway done, there's another room in this bathroom and we're doing the original level 1-1 in it as I type this (just went out on a paint run). And we're actually thinking of somehow rigging up Mario sounds, we'll see what we can do. When it's 100% done (which will be never) I think a video might be a good idea.
Those are painted on detail, not stick-on, right? It looks like a lot of work either way, but if you painted all that it makes it 5000% cooler. :) My neck hurts just thinking about having to paint that.
Yeah, it's all painted on. After we had the basic green down I made stencils from the level we had printed out onto legal sized paper.
come to my house
