Should I go with mirror or medicine cabinet. That is the vanity that will be in room. Also what color bath towels, rugs, etc. The faucet is brush nickel. Want a calmness in the bathroom. .

    Mirror always looks better than medicine cabinet - however, using a vessel sink in a "working" bathroom is never a good choice. You don't have enough countertop space for cosmetics, tooth brush, etc. I'd highly recommend changing out the sink for an undermount, or at least going to a semi-vessel.
    Might want to go with a medicine cabinet to give this homeowner a bit more storage.

    Hi Angela, coming to this a bit late but love the "live, laugh, love" idea and found this poster on Amazon, I think the colours would work and you could pick out the blue as an accent for towels. Or look at other pictures with this theme and pick a different accent, a deep red or wine colour would be good.

    Or pick out the green of your tile/sink

    @ MarieDesign, this is actually my bathroom, too late I already install the sink. I did ask about sink but did not get many response. But I am okay with that because I am working on having less stuff out. I am working on less is better and this might help me to ensure that I keep the bathroom light and airy.

    Oooh, I think Sunlight's poster is perfect!
  • 13 years ago
    @iamchick the ones you posted earlier, if so where are they available.
  • 13 years ago
    @Angela I googled 'subdued tropical colors' but can't find the same prints now. I did find this on etsy...it might work...
  • 13 years ago
    @iamchick that is beautiful, reminds me of home, Jamaica that is.

    One mission accomplished, got waffle white shower curtain today.
  • 13 years ago
    Looks nice Angela. Are you happy with it?
  • 13 years ago
    @iachickaddd, yes I love the curtain, didn't get the pics cannot decide, like the words more so than the others
  • 13 years ago
    Color block or one color and if so go with the blue or green.
  • 13 years ago
    I am thinking if a white memory foam or bath rug when you step out if shower. Yes or no.
  • 13 years ago
    Bath rug...color block with green...
  • 13 years ago
    One on the top right
  • 13 years ago
    Yup
  • 13 years ago
    Angela, we are on the same mission decorating in green and blue. Where did you buy the bathroom towels that are paisley print blue and green? Thanks! Jean

    @jeanmroberts, from my other thread, between Target and HomeGoods
  • 13 years ago
    Why don't you consider painting the mirror a few shades darker than the green stripe ( if you have to keep the green stripe), keep the waffle weave white shower curtain, use the glass rods and shelves, then add patterned towels with white background and if you cannot find a pretty pattern you like have a monogram put on the towels in a darker green or another pretty complimentary color.
  • 13 years ago
    I actually have this mirror on order along with the shelf suggested up top.
  • 13 years ago
    These are the towels I will be using once I get picture will add an accent towel.
  • 13 years ago
    So the mirror that I order is back order, so I am back hunting again. These are my favorite so far

    What are the dimensions on the shower bench? Any thoughts on what would be the minimum size (or depth at least) for a built-in bench like that and still make it functional for sitting down to scrub feet, shave legs, etc.?

    And what's the underlying structure? I'd like to do something very similar to that in our master bath shower, but I'm a big guy, so it's gotta be rock solid!
  • 13 years ago
    He used wood and build it up. I will ask and get back to you.
  • 13 years ago
    Angela -- I saw this set (Kohl's) and thought of you. :) They have the stripes and the florals that can be mixed & matched.
  • 13 years ago
    Then I saw these with the green & thought of your daughter's bathroom. The shower curtain could go with either color scheme (has a little of the green you originally liked for her bathroom and the blue/green color for yours).
  • 13 years ago
    @panjatty thanks so much I an work with those and Kohl's is one of my favorite stores
  • 13 years ago
    Your problem is also your biggest plus -- you could go in so many different directions since your main colors are neutral enough. Wish I had that "problem"!! My new bath is a deep magenta color -- "Vintage Grape". I love it and I won't change it, but it's a really specific color and there's a LOT of it. One of the painters called it Barney purple... I now hate him. ;)
  • 13 years ago
    @panjatty, I am at Kohl's and this is all they have here.
  • 13 years ago
    This is the bathroom as of now while I await the mirror and shelves. Let me know if rugs are right fit, size and color. Cannot find the one suggested by panjatty not at Kohls or even online.
  • 13 years ago
    So this is what the bathroom looks like as I await the mirror and shelves. Need to know if rugs are right size and color.

    I love it! The rug picks out the green of the tile and sink plus you got the "live, love, laugh" in there! The white shower curtain and bath mat are very spa-like. It all works.
  • 13 years ago
    Nice Angela! You even got your 'Live Laugh Love' in there ;-) Show us when you get the mirror.
  • 13 years ago
    So mirror, should it he square ir rectangle. It will be higher under light.
  • 13 years ago
    Angela -- I found all of them at Kohls.com under "Bath Collections". Here's the link to that page: http://www.kohls.com/catalog/for-the-home-bed-and-bath-bath-bath-collections.jsp?CN=3000001023
    They're even on sale! Yay!

    I'd hang the mirror vertically to give the room more height.

    As for the rugs above... I'd go bolder, but that's just me. :) Like maybe a darker shade of the blue/green you have in the tile & sink, but in a floral pattern like one of the ones from Kohls I posted above. I think the bolder color would look great with the white shower curtain & fixtures.

    I love how you managed to get the Live, Laugh, Love in there! :D
  • 13 years ago
    Panjatty theyvonline but when I tried to add to cart no luck. Try and let me know
  • 13 years ago
    Oh, you're right. It says they're out of stock. Hmmm... seems to me they shouldn't show them if they're out of stock! I was at Kohl's today and found the same shower curtains you posted above. That stinks!

    I also saw this & took a pic for you... not your colors, but certainly your sentiments!! :)
  • 13 years ago
    @panjatty yeah that bites because I really liked them but will get the shower curtain though.
  • 13 years ago
    Which one? Striped or floral?
  • 13 years ago
    The one available, floral.
  • 13 years ago
    I'd still like some details on that awesome shower bench!

    What are the dimensions of the bench? And what's the underlying structure? I'd like to do something very similar to that in our master bath shower, but I'm a big guy, so it's gotta be rock solid!
  • 13 years ago
    @Angela -- Nice!! That one was my favorite. It had the most vivid colors, I thought.
  • 13 years ago
    @rodaniel, sorry I forgot, it was 16 by 22. Made with plywood. And then frame with backer board and tiled.
  • 13 years ago
    Finally finish the bathroom. Thanks for all the help.
