Ever do 500 things around the house all in one day and by the end of the day everything in your home is a jumbled mess? That's my day today.
Also? In retrospect I am almost finished painting the bathroom a hideous colour. It looked nice on the tin but now it's on the wall I'm thinking, why, why did you do that? Dark brown isn't a bad colour but it's bringing out all the little nicks and defects on the walls and making the teeny room look even smaller.
I had thought that a dark colour would just withstand the usual bumps and scuffs better. Oh well. We're sticking with this for at least a little while because I just don't want to do more work than I have to at this point.
Dark colours rarely work in small rooms, unless it's used as a feature on just one wall and even then I don't think I'd be tempted to try it. I'd be more inclined to go with a light colour with a washable surface. Do you have tiles on any pert of the wall apart from the shower? I'm just assuming your shower is tiled.
ReplyDeleteNo, my shower is a plastic box basically. Oh well. I'll go with a lighter colour next time. Or do all the walls except the one with the mirror on it (it's small above a counter ledge).
Deleteso there's no tiled areas in the whole bathroom? I've never seen a bathroom without tiled walls and floor,not since the 50s-60s anyway, even if it is just tiled for the shower and above the bath, the floor is always tiled, so the room is waterproof and more easily cleaned. I have seen plastic box shower stalls, but installed in a corner with tiled surrounds.
ReplyDeleteBecause I see tiled bathrooms everywhere, I always assume that is what everyone has. Usually the tiles don't go all the way to the ceiling, but in newer homes some people are doing that and I have to say I like that look. I'll find a picture in my files and send it to you.
I've lost your email address, could you send it to me please? My email is on my about me page.
ReplyDeleteHello! I emailed you! :)
DeleteWhite shower curtain, white rugs (or at least the lightest color you can stand)... It will be fine.
ReplyDeleteI posted a pic of the bathroom. It's so tiny that I'm afraid a white rug would get piddled on. :)
Delete... piddled.
