I love the vintage colored fixtures! I would embrace them in the decor. What sort of style is the rest of the house? Any classic architectural features that give it an identity that you can carry through with the bathroom? MCM? Do you love color? Or do you want a more spa like bathroom? I would definately paint any and all wood in the bathroom to give it a clean, fresh look. Paint the walls of course. Once you prime everything that alone will make the room seem brighter and there is less distraction when looking at it and planning out your color scheme. I would consider replacing the mirror with a nice oval one on the small square wall above the sink. I take it you are replacing the sink and vanity. I would go with a pedestal sink for the tiny area if you can. Check where the pipes come out to see if this is a possibility. You will probably have to go with white. Otherwise if you are keeping the vanity I would paint it the same color as the tub/toilet. I know people here will call that crazy. Not everyone loves colored vintage tub/toilets. FYI, you can get toilet seat that are an exact color match to the vintage ones from some of the manufacturers. I would replace the oak toilet seat. It look like there is a lot of damage to the walls and they are an uneven texture. That may explain the sponge blob paint job the PO did to it. Paint it a solid color. Don't use a shiny paint in there as it will only accentuate the flaws in the walls. Use a shower curtain with some design to draw the eye to it instead of the walls. Shop for a shower curtain that will go with the color of the tub and toilet. Use that for your color palate for the rest of the room. I would go BOLD with the shower curtain and not get anything too "busy" with design like tiny flowers or dots, since this is a small room. How about a black shower curtain? This one has a huge white tulip on it. Paint the walls gray. The yellow tub/toilet will look cool with black and gray. The white floors will keep the space open. http://www.target.com/Tulip-Shower-Curtain-Black-70x72/dp/ B001ARSWGQ/sr=1-24/qid=1228271611/ref=sr_1_24/175-0952336- 7544235?ie=UTF8&index=target&rh=k%3Ashower%20curtain&page=1 Or bring in some of the tub color along with other bright colors in a white shower curtain? Look for curtains with asymmetrical designs as they are just more interesting to the eye. Paint the walls a deep neutral. http://www.vitafutura.com/curtains/details.asp?fam=00221 I would consider having colored fixtures in a bathroom an asset to work with and not a decorating "challenge".

Thank you BAC717! The rug is probably my most favorite item in this room and honestly I never would have even purchased it if it were not for the help of my fellow Houzzers. I do not have a good eye for decorating, and these guys have really helped me see the possibilities. We've been in our house for 7 years and this room has always been a struggle. it just seemed gloomy and blah! To me, the room has so much more character now and it's more "me". My 2 posters came in the mail this week. I'm going try to get them framed and hung this weekend. We are still undecided on a paint color. Someone recommended BM Natural cream, which I like; however, because I want to use the same color throughout the entire first level, I have to make sure the wall color works with the kitchen cabinet color (BM Dove White), which has grey undertones. I'll check out the color you recommended also. I have a bunch of paint sample cards but no real contenders yet. Good luck with your room. Let me know when you post and I'll check it out.

Love love love all these ideas! Thanks everdebz and 2pups4me!! My head is spinning but in a great way. I loved the Montana fabric but I think ur right still too red and when I went by there today after closing the window treatments that are up and YES I am keeping them, for now anyways and maybe for good, are you guessed it, red and cream. So I guess I really need to go with the other neutral colors... I’m loving golds, creams, sage greens.... I will be there tomorrow waiting on a fedex delivery of bed so I will take some pics and post later this week.... no internet yet. Wooo so much going on trying to move a little at a time, work an hour away and get decorated!! Thank you all for all the ideas, can’t wait to go forward and get this done! Stick with me, I’ve got a dining room, bedroom after this!

is this a rental? I ask because that florescent light in the kitchen is horrible. why someone would go to all the trouble of redoing the kitchen and leaving that cheap light is beyond me. The kitchen is great looking! With a proper light fixture, I think the colors would look better. this light is inexpensive. It also gives you 4 bulbs. Bring in some LED 60W bulbs in the cool light temp (4000K) and the entire kitchen would light up! If you rent, ask your landlord if you buy the light, can it be switched. it's not a big deal to do it. very simple. If it's yours, ask a friend to help you. Then bring in a runner (say a 2.6" X 8' size) to go in front of the sink area color is up to you. everything is pretty neutral, so get something you like. Then bring in some wood cutting boards, some color w/pots or vases, maybe some plants (faux is fine) I would be tempted to paint that end wall a dark color and add some art or something or cutting boards, vintage kitchen things i think black would look good. this one is chalkboard paint, but a deep black w/some cool art, or do a medium gray and add colorful pictures since everything is very neutral. you could also put one of those magnetic knife holders on the wall. and art.
