Finished Painted Bath Pics!!

18 years ago

Well, you know I was so worried about the darker color of the paint for my main bath here but I decided to embrace it and trust my original design instincts. So here are the pics!! Thanks everyone for all your support!

One remaining question - what items could I put on the chrome shelving unit? Soaps? More hand towels? Reading material? What to put in that metal basket? Thanks!

    The color looks very nice - doesn't look dark at all.

    Do you need the chrome shelving? It doesn't really feel like it works with the art that is hung above it or elsewhere in the room. Too industrial compared to the old world feel of the artwork. If you don't really need it, I would get rid of it, take the interesting vase and fill it with some grasses and taller twigs and stick there. Get a black tasseled curtain tieback and loop around the neck of the vase to bring the black down to that piece.

    Could you use the little basket on the back of the toilet tank filled with pot pourri or decorative soaps?

    One other thing, but perhaps it is just me. I would fold the towels in thirds and hang them, rather than leaving them spread out on the towel bar. They kind of look like they are drying after being used when they sit that way imo.

    Nicely done! Enjoy your 'new' space.

    Wow, Les....great suggestions! Pretty color~

    If you're trying to figure out what to put on those chrome shelves, then you don't need them... and as Les said, they don't really work in the room anyway. A couple of other thoughts. I assume you're not going to use the hooks that run along the bottom of the black "Cologne" plaque? because if you are, then hanging the picture right below it doesn't make sense. Also, here's a nit-picky detail, but I think your shower curtain is hanging too high off the floor. Otherwise, everything is pretty!

    What color/brand paint is it?

    I think it would be nice if you could add a decorative soap dispenser at the sink. Also a little potted ivy plant on the back of the toilet. I agree with folding the towels. Maybe two towels on the towel bar and one folded nicely on the counter. I can take or leave the metal shelves. They look a little industrial and would rather see a decorative painted wooded case that you could actually store extra things/towels inside. Do you have storage issues in this room, or is there a linen closet we dont see. Any chance of getting a cordinating picture over the toilet? Two stacked would fill the space better. The room came out nicely, I remember your prior post when you were panicing over the the color. It came out very warm and cozy.

    Looks very nice and elegant but I agree about the wire shelf. The paint color is very soothing.

    Very pretty!! Nice job!!

    I'm with everyone else on the wire shelfs...you don't need them.

    I love the color. It's very rich and cozy.

    Now you didn't ask for more ideas...but (given the complaint about your shower curtain) can I throw one out??? I personally would raise add about a foot to the one you have, using a nice black decorative fabric. I'd also hang about a foot long piece of that same fabric as a valance from the ceiling, covering up the curtain rod. (You could easily do this from cup hooks with rings on the fabric).

    But just an idea :) The room is pretty as is! (I have a thing for extra long shower curtains, and I'm like you...I don't like them hanging down low).

    I like that there is a lot of interesting things going on in your bathroom. Nice job!!

    Thanks everyone!! The paint is mostly EK Adobe with extra EK Taupe mixed in. It has grown on me.
    I do think adding a piece of black fabric to the bottom og the curtain would add more design flair. I will look in my box of remnants to see what piece I may already have.
    The silver shelving unit is the right size for the space. I am starting to formulate ideas of what I could use it for here.

    Thanks again. Eileen in AZ
