Evolution of my Walls

The hall bathroom project is nearing completion, and as I looked around for the pictures I had taken along the way, I realized this project has taken WAY too long. I had to sift through 8 months of photos before I found the "before" ones. Can that be right? Sheesh. But here they are, my walls, tamed from sticky-outy and make you bleed-able to slick and smooth:

Before. First, I scraped off the high points with a putty knife, then sanded the walls with my electric sander. Very dusty.

Sanding only took me half-way so I covered all the walls with joint compound, sanded them with sanding mesh and then again with a damp rag.

Touch-up and priming.

I glued this outside corner piece on because joint compound is not the strongest stuff-I didn't want it to get dinged up.

After. Finally, I painted (Glidden "Goodnight, Moon"), caulked the shower side and installed the hook. Hurrah! (I'm thinking about putting a second hook lower down for the girls to use. Will that just look weird and get in the way? Any thoughts?)
