Back to it
Ok the holidays are over and the decorations are put away. There are no more excuses to not finishing the bathroom.
We still need to decide on wall color. Here are some shots from the room and for those who have pantone books I’ve matched up some of the shades of blue. There are 4 shades in this room and surprisingly they work fairly well.
Tiles and sink= pantone 290C for the lighter color and the closest I could get for the darker speckles is 284C.
The blue in the showercurtain is almost exact on Pantone 644C.
The stripes in the towell are a bit grayer than 644C.
What are your ideas of color in this room? Should I keep it white? Paint it blue? Paint it yellow? Blue & yellow stripes? Polk-a-dots or plaid? Although if plaid wins someone owes me a big bottle of Gin. That’s the only way I can imagine painting plaid without going crazy.
There is also the attached frame around the mirror to consider. It is currently the same white as the walls. Is it a feature or a distraction? I have no idea how it is attached, only that it is tight.
Let me know if you want pictures or close ups of anything. Give me your ideas this coming week and then we’ll take a vote. Pose questions to each other? Get the dialogue going.

We need to see the mirror close up. Blue for the walls is out. You’ve got two different hues going on there. I’d paint the walls either a pastel yellow, or keep it white. You might consider a wallpaper with white and yellow in a small print. I think paint is best.
As for the mirror, A high gloss white might be nice. You can tape it off to paint.
