Paint color for bathroom where you apply makeup?
Comments (11)Half these people don't even understand what you're asking, although it made perfect sense to me and Alicia ^. She doesn't need a color that will flatter her and make her look good in her own fn' bathroom. She needs proper paint color and lighting to NOT reflect and give am untrue image. 10am-2pm, blue sky, sunny day, direct sunlight is the best way to get a true read on pigment. She wants her make up to match her face when she leaves the bathroom. I know you said you didn't like the pinky tones options. however, I have to vouch for that recommendation. I had this awesome little make shift, attics, studio/1 bedroom/efficiency/ no permit "apartment" with roof access from the bathroom window where I could see from the stadiums to center city and the Delaware River to Manayunk. I'm a hairdresser and an artist, I loved alone, had no lease and very little rent. I was able to do whatever I wanted to the place and I really made it cool. I started trading hair services for tools, supplies, furniture ect, anything I needed for the place. My goal was to fix, furnish and decorate it with spending the least amount of money possible. I LOVED that place. I ended up with a can of dark but bright pink, kinda like a rich, deep, bold fuscia. It was gorgeous. I was shocked how true it was to mine and my clients hair color, skin tone, make up etc. And I picked it because I wanted it to be bold and fun and artsy and different, but it really didn't look all that crazy. It was a big bathroom with alot of wall space too. Jussayin'. I know this post is 12 years old, but I came across it asking the same question and that's what I've heard everywhere from people who understand color theory and what you're actually asking. I got annoyed and wanted to add my 2 cents. I hate when people who have no idea what their talking about think they're so dang special they just HAVE to give their OPINION because they don't have the education or skill to give proper advice....See MoreHow wide are your bathroom and bedroom doors?
Comments (10)I'm curious why you say the bathroom cannot be made handicapped accessible? If necessary, the tub can be replaced with a walk-in (my sister did that in her house, for no reason other than she liked the look). Or, alternatively, there are companies who can cut a section of a regular tub away, and refinish, so it's more accessible to someone who is not as agile as they once were (my mom's apt. building had that done for her when she could no longer 'climb' into the tub). Maneuvering a wheel chair in a small room might be a challenge, but I'd think that in a pinch, it would be possible to at least go straight in, and back out, if necessary. So, I'd go with the wider door. Side note--I've got that quilt laid out on my new sewing room floor, in my new house (where I have almost no furniture in any of the rooms yet, since we're still in transition, too). Hope your quilt is as lovely as mine is turning out! And best of luck with the new place--we're at the same stage--deciding what to fix, how to fix it, and trying to figure out where to put all the stuff in all the boxes........See MoreMaster bathroom vanity with make-up table
Comments (5)I had a vanity area with two drawers running parallel to the top; it was between both sinks in my last house. The makeup section dropped down four or five inches or so from the sink vanity counters but had the same marble top. I really liked it because I could sit while making up and I had a nice lighted free standing magnifying mirror. In the house I am in now storage took priority as there is only one hall closet to service another bath and towels and all the rest on that end that includes three bedrooms. In this house I put vertical storage in the section I wanted a makeup vanity and a bank of drawers underneath, that still left a bit of countertop as the top section vertical is only twelve inches deep. However, I have wall mounted extension magnifying mirrors at each sink vanity and IâÂÂm actually very happy with that. If you do not need much extra storage go for the makeup vanity. All you need is a horizontal drawerâÂÂs bridge piece between the two sink vanities. Just make sure you position your bridge at a height compatible for comfortable vanity chair height. Edited to add: Also make sure you have a plug in that area. Is this a DIY? If so, you could look on ScherrâÂÂs where you could buy the cabinets all put together with the middle bridge with drawers or check out Conestoga. I buy my cabinets from Conestoga but you do have to assemble. This post was edited by jterrilynn on Thu, Jan 29, 15 at 21:05...See MoreLooking for a makeup/dressing table for the bedroom
Comments (6)Dressing tables are as scarce as unicorns these days, but I've always had one and always will. When we were in Maine part of the year, I desperately needed one, and of course, was not moving my one from KY back and forth. So I made one...sort of. I bought two white melamine bookcases (30" tall or so), each had two shelves in them. Then I bought a piece of white melamine to go on top, leaving a nice opening in the middle for my legs. I took a Ralph Lauren gingham sheet and draped it over the contraption, and then used upholstery pins to pleat the corners so it was sort of like gift wrapping a box. I then sewed these in place by hand. When I needed something from one of the shelves, I just pulled up the cloth on that side. I had my hairdryer/curing iron/hot rollers on one side (back is always cardboard so it's easy to cut a hole for a power strip and have it inside this to plug in all this stuff). I kept my makeup in a small basket - easy to pull out. I had a silver brush/comb/mirror set that was on top. I found a large silver picture frame and had a mirror put in it and had that on top. I also had a pair of small dressing table lamps. I had a piece of window glass cut to cover the top - be sure to have them sand the edges if you do this - otherwise LOTS of blood will happen! This worked admirably for 10 years. I have no idea what I did with it - think I gave it to a local charity store. It was cheap and it worked and it looked really quite nice in the bedroom....See Moreerinsean
