Please help me with bathroom paint color...please?
Comments (20)Thank you so much everybody! I LOVE the cabinets painted in the Bittersweet Chocolate so that is a definite (and moonshadow, thank you so much for posting the instructions!) I will also check into all the colors that everyone suggested. I had sampled Sea Salt on my wall and it looked very "baby blue" to me (again it is just a sample and still in my awful lighting). A few years ago, I had painted what I thought was a definite grey-blue on the walls. When all was said and done, it was a "baby blue". I really hated it. I lived with it for a couple of years and then redid the bathroom (in country wallpaper etc. which I have now come to hate too!) That is probably why I am trying to capture the perfect greenish tone in the paint because my family will think I have lost it if I paint and it turns "baby blue"... Thanks, again, everybody. It looks like I have some researching to do!...See MoreMaster bathroom help-crosspost from bathroom forum
Comments (19)olychick, thank you for taking a look. :) I'm relieved to hear you think a white shower pan is best. I am heading out now to find porcelain marble look tiles for the shower walls to pick up the gray as you suggested. I want a shiny finish to the walls. Tell me if you think that's a misstep. I am avoiding marble as I have a marble topped vanity now that is pock marked with etchings. As far as seeing myself in the vanity, yes, I think I will be able to do so. I was planning on a black framed mirror spanning the vanity. My current vanity is 32 1/4" high (as will be the new vanity) and when seated on my vanity stool my reflection is seen up to my chest. The only issue currently is that my knees are pressed against drawers. I failed to mention that I was thinking of using absolute black granite for the vanity top for two reasons: one being cost and the other being to avoid etching. Will doing so deviate too much from my inspiration? Lastly, I had the idea of applying pieces of beveled mirror framed by black molding floor to ceiling along the back wall and continuing behind the toilet (similar to this only floor to ceiling with the exception of base molding & crown): [Traditional Bathroom[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-bathroom-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_712~s_2107) by Northbrook Architects & Building Designers Michael A.

Comments (27)OH! THANK YOU! I am so loving ALL your ideas and suggestions, and believe me, I am seriously considering each and every one of them! OK... so I cut out some sheets of paper the sizes of the pictures we have been considering. The 4 pieces of paper on the long wall represent the four 13.5" Sturbridge ("4 Seasons") prints. I think they fill the wall nicely! The 2 pieces of paper above the toilet represent the two 8" x 10" Warren Kible prints (the cat and the pig). (Boo seems to approve!!!) THEN, I'll change out the toilet seat (probably a plain white one... or maybe black???), and maybe replace the magazine holder with something like this... ... and call it *DONE*!!! So, what do you guys think?! And remember, you can be BRUTALLY honest!!! Really! ;o)...See MoreNeed help with awkward master bathroom layout
Comments (12)Wow, these are some really great ideas!! @ssdarb I want to try to limit the scope to not moving any walls but your plan looks really great. I want to see if I can square off the closet similar to @Karenseb and sort of combine both of your designs together. The only thing is I am not certain how I feel about seeing the toilet facing me when I walk in and I am not sure if 5"x3" will feel claustrophobic? @Debbi Washburn I also thought about the layout with the tub rotated but still separated from the shower but thought the tub area looks a little cramped. I didn't want to have the tub inside the shower due to additional cleaning of the tub from water splashes since the distance for my shower head to the tub won't be that far (you can probably tell I am the one to clean the bathrooms in the house :P ) @pamal66 I plan to get a free standing tub so that I won't need the surround. It looks like I might be able to do that but the tub edge will be very close to the glass. I am just not sure if I will loose inches due to switching those tiles to quartz shower surrounding. @ssdarb That layout looks cool but I am afraid the glass might be a safety concern for my toddler. Thank you everyone! I am going to talk to my DH about it a bit more with all of your wonderful comments! I will keep you all posted!...See Morecatherine
