Those are great, thank you, Jilly! That is why I think It needs wainscot.

It is totally DIY, Marketplace, Freecycle, and picked up off the side of the road....so wallpaper may be too difficult. Stencils....maybe. There are only 2- 4 foot walls, the 2 foot toilet wall, and the 2 foot sink wall.

The office has live edge tulip poplar walls above antique barn metal. The ceiling will be recycled barn metal, that I am thinking I may spray a Haint ble color before we put it up.

Ooo, I like all of your ideas!

A stencil could be so charming!

The pale green in your inspo pic reminds me of my kitchen cabinet color, which is SW Filmy Green.

Unfortunately, it’s not an easy color to capture in a photo. This pic might look gray. The color is definitely not gray IRL.

Sue, that is gorgeous on your cabinets! On my SW color deck, it looks very gray! I may have to go get a sample of that.

Purchase a F & B fan deck. Each color is such a generous size on the deck you can really get a feel for it in the space.

I'd consider all walls in a pale green, light blue towels and rug, (or vice versa) and emerald light fixtures.

Love this color combo.

How about some wallpaper?

When you are looking at a tiny sample many of the colors seem to gray or muted, but when you paint an entire wall the colors feel much more saturated.

Find some that feel close to the look you are going for and order large samples from Samplize.com

SCORE!! My neighbor across the street put this out by the curb!! I thought I would have to use the paneling type, but now it will have real depth, and I will have to pray I can match it when I need more. The shorter pieces can fill in behind the toilet.

Yes, I love Samplize for trying paint color. No mess, and you can move it around the room, too.

Springroz - what did your neighbor place by the curb?

@dani_m08 My photo did not post!!

Here it is!!

Nice!

Update!

We are making progress!

I ordered a sample of this wallpaper:

It came today, and I like it. I did a first coat on the beadboard, and it is now installed. I painted it SW Minor Blue.

DH is going to get a trim piece to install horizonally on top of the BB, so there will be a small shelf all the way around, then there will be a transition trim underneath. That should be wide enough to keep a curling iron out of the pedestal sink, and give someone (ahem...DH) a place to set a phone.

Once we install the greenboard, I can order the wallpaper.

I want a penny tile (white or grey marble with a faily dark grout), but I have enough leftover AO Catarina(marble-look) to do the floor, so we will see.

Oops, sorry, accidentally deleted my earlier post … exciting seeing an update! I love fun projects like this. :)

Today (Sunday) the tiny bath is getting its ceiling and sheetrock!!

Years ago, we gave a couple the flooring out of this house, and he promised that, in exchange, he would do the sheetrock in the barn office. Fast forward about 11 years, and now all that needs the work is the bathroom!

I also picked up an inexpensive gold velvet sofa off FB Marketplace, for less than dinner for 2!
