Give me paint advice, please!

[jaylea]

This is our half bath (before we bought it. I don't have the fake plant thing in there, thankfully). TINY. I think it was a closet, formerly.



I have not done a thing with it since we moved in, almost 3 years ago. I am toying with the idea of doing a grass green or orange (almost a sherbet orange) above the wainscotting, then painting the wainscotting white.

Thoughts? Other ideas?

I like the idea of either color with the white trim
I'm more partial to the green.

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

I pick orange. But that's because I am doing two rooms orange and am drowning in orange paint chips all over my walls.

And, while we're at it. My kitchen. I also have not painted. I would like to do something like a terra cotta, or maybe an olive green (not sage, true olive).

Thoughts? Advice? It needs paint.

Oh, jeebus, no. Sherbert and white? No. Our bath has white wainscoting on the bottom and a blue that only looks blue when it's next to white (it's REALY light) on the top. Very fresh and airy looking.

I wouldn't pair a dark color (like grass green) with white. Too stark of a contrast for that small space.

I vote orange and white! Mostly because my kitchen walls are orange with white cabinets, and I love it.

Punkin, I have two other blue rooms in my house - the upstairs bath (light blue, white on bottom) and DS's room. No more blue!

I like the green pepper green here:

I think green for the bathroom, I think it will look nice with the fixtures. I think the terra cotta in the kitchen would be nice. I like warm, rich colors in kitchens. My kitchen is a sage green and I like it, but I thought it would be too much if you go with green for the bathroom.

Ditto this exactly. Cool refreshing colors in the bathroom and warm colors in the kitchen.

Love white wainscotting.

We have that green in the boy's room. We paired it with a darker cream-slash-French vanilla colored trim. It's very pretty.

What about a gray and the wainscotting white. I know it might sound drab, but it would look gorgeous.

Maybe we should do a creamier white in the bathroom with it.

The fixtures are (I think)oil rubbed bronze.
