Master Bathroom Paint Reveal!

Remember in { this post } when I hinted that the bathroom wasn’t green anymore? Well, this is what it looks like now…

SO much better! Now it’s light, bright and worlds away from that dark green cave. The color is a very soft gray-blue. It’s hard to show the exact color in a picture, but it’s a bit lighter than it appears online.

All that’s left now is curtains, a rug, artwork and finally replacing that 22 year old clam shell toilet. Yep, clam shell. Welcome to the 1980′s.

There’s still a lot to do, but it’s all about doing what you can, when you can. I know I say it a millions times but I truly believe it. Taking it slow and putting in a little hard work will help to really transform a space. All this bathroom has cost us is a gallon of paint and some elbow grease. Well worth it if you ask me.

P.S. We used the Behr paint that has the primer and paint in one and LOVED it! It only took two coats to cover that dark green and saved us the hassle of priming separately. At around $32 it’s incredibly reasonable versus having to buy a gallon of paint and a gallon of primer. It actually saved us a couple bucks!

    Wow what a transformation!! That looks way better!!

    I was wondering what paint to use the living room…well you answered that one. Because the walls are goofy.. hard to explain, I have to use the sponge technique to hide stuff. My living room will be like the flowers in your wall paper the light blue. It is such a tranquil color and it will match this picture which my girlfriend painted. That is going to be the focal point.

    Is your bathtub fixture white or off-white?

      It’s actually cream with dark peach colored swirls running through it. You know, exactly what we would have picked ourselves. Ha!
