A grayed down lavender would look gorgeous. it would also bring it more up to date. Then add white textured shower curtains like terry cloth and all white accents and you're good to go.

I would think a greyed coral tone would be wonderful with the grey counter and the blue/green floor. I have an older SW fandeck, but how about 6331 Smoky Salmon or 6332 Coral Island? It would also give some continuity with the saltillo tiles in the rest of the house.

The fixtures and cabinets are neutral so the only thing to consider is the green in the flooring. Find a shower curtain you like and take your color cue from it when you paint.

The room is pretty much ready to go as it is. Maybe consider framing the large mirror for some 'Wow' factor?

Don't cross off having white walls with darker accents around the room for a spacious feel. A touch of red in the room to counter the green in the floors.

Keep it spa-like for resale.

Actually, small rooms like bathrooms looks great with dark colors.

I love the coral that Les suggested, it would be beautiful with your floor. But can someone please explain to me what "grayed down" means? Honestly, I don't see anything relating to gray in the coral. lol.

Grayed down is when a color like coral has some black added to the mixture to create a more muted shade. Any time a color is brighter than you wanted, just add a touch of black. It doesn't take much.

Wow, thank you all for the fantastic ideas. I have the fan deck out and will pick up some samples next week, and will try to find a patterned shower curtain to get other ideas from. That's what I love about this thread, there are always so many great opinions. (Like "wow - why didn't I think of that?")

Now that the girls are gone, I can clean it and it will hopefully stay clean for more than a few minutes :)

Next I'll be asking about what to do about her room, which is now painted a deep, deep merlot color - including the ceiling!

What do you think about this one from Target? Seems like it would work well with the floor and counter, and give you a wide range of choices for the wall color (the 6331 from SW that I suggested looks like it might work well).

Also remember that you can buy a waterproof liner, and then use any fabric or drapery for the curtain itself. Either make one, or cut down drapery panels - a standard shower curtain is about 72x72, I believe.

Sorry to hijack your thread but Dilly Dally could you tell me where to find the first shower curtain you posted? I just painted my bathroom and have been looking for a shower curtain like that.

I don't have SW fan deck, but I think a dusty gray would be pretty. Here's another shower curtain from Target that might look good:

I also thinking framing the mirror would look good and I'd consider replacing the light fixture.

OMG - Where can I get the red & beige shower curtain - with the flower print? LOVE IT!

Justagirl I asked the same question to Dilly Dally earlier and she was nice enough to respond on the separate thread I posted. You can get it at Walmart. Not sure how to post a link, but you can maybe try typing in the description or you can search the thread I started and it has a link. It's the thread that says DillyDally

Well, DH doesn't think the bathroom needs painting at all, and nixed the lavender and coral ideas. (Although Les, I really was leaning toward Coral Island.)

All our creative efforts (and extra $$) have gone to our weekend cabin we've built over the past 5 years. We painted the main room up there DE Miner's Dust and I may check if we have some left to paint the bathroom with. It's eggshell, I think, and a warm gray.

I'd love to frame the mirror, and may do that when I replace the baseboards. I agree, it would look a whole lot better. Of course, I would like to gut the whole thing and start over, since we re-did it originally when we were young and broke, but it is pretty functional as is.
