These are the 4 colors that I've chosen to test out first. Which do you prefer?
I'm finally able to work on another room at my parents' house, the 2nd full bathroom, and I'm really excited about giving it a new look. I was going to start the painting process today, but because of Hurricane Irene's impending arrival, I've had to postpone it for another weekend. Maybe I'll just employ one of my brother's to do the painting...now that's a thought.

The full bathroom that's on my parents' second floor has been my brothers' primary bathroom and by the looks of it, you can tell that boys are the primary occupants. But that's about to change. Since the recently re-done guest room is right next to the bathroom, the bathroom definitely needs to be given an updated look. Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of the bathroom in it's current state, but I promise to get one before I start working on it. Until then, I'll try to describe it as best I can so you can understand why I chose what I chose in the design board.

First and foremost, this bathroom has NO windows. It is an interior room and gets no natural light so lighting will be key. Also, my parents have given me a strict budget, so I won't be able to switch out the vanity/sink or the tub. And that definitely means no re-tiling or gutting of anything. Pretty much, I have to take what's there and make it look as pretty as possible. It'll definitely be a challenge seeing as how the vanity is a light maple wood and the tub & vanity are a light creamy beige - not exactly my choice colors for a bathroom. But I think the colors I've chosen in the design board will balance out the light warm tones in the vanity/sink/tub. And because I've chosen some really graphic prints, I'm hoping that they will distract the eye from the permanent colors of the vanity/sink/tub. What do you think?
