Reader Bathroom 1

AFTER: In February, the homeowners embarked on the second phase of the renovation to freshen up worn aspects of the renovated bathroom. The original wood floor had suffered water damage over the years, so Cody painted it with a glossy white porch paint. The original dark window and doors had also been damaged by decades of moisture, so Cody used a glossy cream-white paint to give them a fresh look. She also touched up the beadboard paneling and baseboards with the same paint. “I worried about painting over original wood, but as Christopher Lowell used to chant: ‘Just because it’s wood doesn’t mean it’s good,’” Cody says. The finishing touches include a white paint for the walls — one with a blue undertone that contrasts with the creamy white of the beadboard — and fun new accessories from big-box stores. Cody added new white pots for plants, plus a few botanical prints she found online. She printed the botanical images on a color printer at a local copy store and displayed them in frames she had on hand and spray-painted white.

I like the plant in the bathroom

Add the Z plant to half-bathroom. Great example of paneling I want in half-bath.

J'aime l'idée d'une plante verte... Ça égaye et met de la vie dans la pièce.
