I went bold with black paint - what I had wanted to do all those years ago but chickened out with an untested grey that ended up looking like poop brown. See, that is what I get for not following my own advice about testing before painting!! To quickly cover up that mistake I used some blue green paint I had hanging around and closed the door to this room.
As you can see, this bathroom is small so it didn't take much to make a big impact. First the paint - Glidden Diamond in Onyx Black - was exactly what this space needed. It really makes the white tiles and fixtures pop and brings out the black in the vintage style hex flooring. I also changed the light fixture, shelving and linens but that was about it. It was an easy makeover with a big result. Now I just love walking past it!
It looks GREAT! You really know your stuff. : - )
ReplyDeleteThank you Sammy!
Deleteoooh i love this! the art is fantastic, too!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it cool? I recommended it for a friends house and she never went for it but it's been haunting me ever since. Glad I found a spot for it.
DeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle!
DeleteWow that looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Naz!
DeleteThis looks great! I love the light fixture. One question, where did you get that print of the owl?
ReplyDeleteThe print is from Society 6 and its called "mr Owl".
DeleteI thought it was a photograph but its a pencil drawing which makes it even cooler.
Love the owl. The back&white interior is also very nice.
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing! The contrast gives the bathroom so much more depth and actually makes it look bigger!
ReplyDeleteThank you! That's what I try to explain to people about the proper usage of black paint but few people believe me :)
DeleteOh my, what don't I need to paint! Planning to paint my kitchen cabinets and all the walla in my house over the next year or so. I also have a bonus room covered in dark wood paneling that I want to paint. This paint would definitely help. :)
ReplyDeleteOops meant to post on Glidden giveaway post! On my phone.
ReplyDeleteSilly question, but we are in the throws of remodeling both of our bathrooms and I am struggling with this. Where did you put your toilet paper holder, and towel bar/hook? I hate the look of both in general and have been trying to find a more stylish solution. TIA!
ReplyDeleteNot a silly question at all! The toilet paper holder is to the left of the toilet (so in this photo its obscured by the door) - there is also some recessed between the studs shelving on that wall to allow for more storage. It's shallow but works for shampoo and soaps and such.
DeleteThere is a towel bar on the back of the door as well as a towel hook on the wall opposite the mirror.
Certainly not a ton of storage in here but does the job. I also have that area under the sink I could utilize if I really need it but so far this has been enough.
Hope that helps!
Your newly designed mini bathroom is looking magnificent. I loved the way you beautifully used these two colors.
ReplyDeleteOh, jeez, it looks amazing! What a striking "after". The black is so sharp! High five!
ReplyDeleteI love your bathroom! Could you also reveal the source of the two white shelves?
