lynn2006: "I am thinking of painting the little guest bathroom downstairs that I have in my home office that clients use first." Have you considered a wall covering other than paint? If the walls already are painted with a high gloss paint, especially an oil-based paint, you are going to need a lot of surface preparation to get the job done right, anyway. If you are going to do the job yourself, and if you go to the trouble of the required surface prep, from that point on, covering the surfaces with one of the new nonwoven, dimensionally stable "wallpapers," such as those in Rasch's Barbara Becker Collection, is actually easier than the effort to do a first-class paint job. At least that was our experience. FWIW, the very highly reflective (makes the room brighter) Rasch wall covering that we applied is not identified by brand name at The Internet Wallpaper Store, www.wallpaper.com, but is product 570631 there. It has been in our powder room for going on two years now, looks as good as the day we hung it, and it goes well with the diverse colors of the white toilet and sink, brushed nickel faucet, towel rack, and toilet roll holder, and the translucent bronze glass tile of the sink backsplash.

I do like the countertop choice. But I am also a fan of a less busy quartz countertop like this one. Still has the subtle veins in it, but it's not too busy for a bathroom. Plus I love the idea of a white vanity popping against the navy color the room. The sample in your photo could take away from the "pop" factor in my opinion. But I do think your sample is a beautiful piece of stone for sure. Good luck with your renovation!

Great job, looks great! As far as paint suggestions: Benjamin Moore Nimbus is a really pretty soft gray that can be either warm or cool depending on your lighting. BM Light Pewter that is a very light gray. BM Pale Oak might work for you too since I see the contrast between your tub and tiles reveals the tile has more warmth than the white tub. If you are looking for a white, Sherwin Williams Elder White is a warm (but NOT yellow or pink) white. Regardless of what you contemplate, ask your paint store for their LARGE swatches and when you get it narrowed down, get a pint and roll it out on a poster board so you can move it around different walls in the AM, midday and PM ) Your tile looks like a some of the tiling I was looking at for our at-the-moment bathroom remodel. What is the name of your tile if you don't mind me asking.....I need to make my selection in 3 days.

did you ever decide? would love pics.
