Yay, a H&G contribution: painted my bathroom

[emoflamingo]

This is what I started with when we moved in (realtor photo):



And now (iphone/instagram photo):



I think the paint color toned down the tile a little (it looked pink in person with the mint green paint color). I want to do something between the corner and the mirror (I have 15.5 inches there) but I'm not sure what wouldn't be too much with the "art" hanging there.

It looks great! That mint paint really didn't do thy tile any favors, huh?

It didn't. My husband walked in and said "it's so... beige."

It looks great! What paint color is that? I'm looking for colors for five rooms right now =).

@juno, I was thinking some kind of shelving. It's our main bathroom but it's also the bathroom our guests use so all my crap is tucked in our half bath.

kaylie, it's the lightest one on the Gobi Desert swatch, I believe. From Behr. I'll double check the name when I get home tonight.

It looks so much better! The pink in the tile is no longer so bright and I really like the piece you've hung on the wall

kaylie, it's Behr Malted Milk.

Looks great and I love the shelves idea! You can add some items to it or folded towels for guests to add some additional color.

Wow... It looks great. I have pink beige tile in one of my bathrooms. I worked with a Maria Killiam "True color expert". She chose a pink beige wall color to blend the tile with the granite. I am not happy with it because the entire bathroom is now pink! I like your color choice so much better! I will have to stop in the paint dept next time I am at HD.

This is one of those (few and far between) times my color theory classes come in handy in real life. good luck picking a good neutral!

Aw, I can't see the "after" for some reason. :-( Seems like most people can, though.

Better! That tall space is tough. I want to suggest a tall plant, but with no natural light, I don't think that will work. Do you use that towel bar? You could do one larger, dramatic piece over the whole space and let that be it. Do you need any extra storage? Maybe some corner shelving for arfully arranged bathroom things like cotton balls and makeup brushes (ETA some nice bathroom corner shelving pics here: www.decoist.com/2014-05-30/corner-shelves-space-saving-designs/)?

Bamboo does really well with just artificial light.  I used to have some in my office until it got too tall and I had to give it to someone with higher ceilings!

I was using a FB link so that could be it. Try this.
