Courage Found!

10 years ago

Several months ago I posted looking for encouragement to paint my little bathroom dark blue while my husband was out of town. Received the encouragement, but several folks said don't surprise my husband. I think the room came out great and my husband loves the color. What do you think?

Love that blue. It looks adorable. Love love love that sink. It should be the focal point but the mirror competes with it. If replacing it is an option I would get a larger plain glass mirror to fill more of that wall and put white knobs on the vanity drawers. This way the sinks is what draws your eyes in that area. But really that a small suggestion...the color is bold and the space is fun. Great job.
