It's going to be beautiful! When you pull everything together that wall color will be just the right shade. It looks great with white and black, and will work fine with your neutral gray floor. I can't wait to see the finished room!

Love everything you've done in this room! That accent band is breathtaking. I also think the paint will be perfect once you have everything in place.

P.S.: Did I miss a post about you selling your other home?)

I think it looks great. It doesn't look at all like toothpaste to me, but mine is white and the other one in the house is a much stronger colored gel. ;-)

I really do think it will look great when all pulled together. Stay the course. Worst case is you repaint later, but I don't think you will need to.

Having recently painted our spare room aqua-Robin's egg-muted Tiffany blue (BM's Antiguan Sky), I definitely don't think your walls or room look toothpaste-y at all!!! Love your wall color with the accent tile over the tub!

Well, maybe it's my monitor but I'm the odd man out. The wall looks to be a cooler blue and the trim is a greenish/aqua.........am I wrong?

Very, very nice iridescent penny rounds!

Given the slate floor, I think your wall matches well. But maybe you could try one wall in a deeper aqua and see what you think.

Of course, monitors and in the room often differ. I really like your accent idea. Nice.

I like it.

Thanks to all for your reassurances (though I'd be happy if you told me the truth about not liking it).

annz: Here's another shot I've got showing it's more green than the first photo makes it look. (I'm adding a row of bullnose at the end of the tile, btw.)

chibimimi: we're under contract on Weedy Acres with a L-O-N-G closing (in 3 months). We bought this one in our new location back in March as a short-term crash pad. No way we'll fit into 940 sf once we have to put all our stuff in it. But we picked it up for $14K, and it gives us something to do on weekends/evenings, so we couldn't resist.

I like it, too. I suspect it may be that brick that is throwing you off.

A place for $14K? Where do you live? I want to move there!

If the green tile is only in the tub area and you're going to have a shower curtain hung, the wall color isn't going to make any sense unless you peek into the tub area. I think I would choose a deeper gray.

I think it's beautiful and I love the trim!

Cyn, I suspect that is lathe and plaster you are seeing in the first photo with the niche, not brick. But you could be on to something if the lathe strips are a reddish toned wood and are distorting the aqua shade.

To me, the wall looks blue in the first photo and I didn't care for it with the tile. Then you posted the second photo and now I think it looks great.

cyn: $14K is certainly cheap, even in this neck of the woods (small midwest town), but the house had some serious problems. Bowing basement walls, rotted out bath subfloor, and a bunch of ugly to clean up and redo. Even fixed up it'll only be a $60K house.

And yes, that's lathe in the back of the medicine chest cut-out.
