I wasn't sure what colour to paint it. I know we didn't want brown. Tim has always been a little hesitant with bold colours, so I was completely shocked when he pointed to a deep, rich, purplish-brown or a very bold dark green. There was also a mention of beadboard.
After stuffing a few chips behind the mirror for a week or so (and slowly throwing out ones that didn't thrill us), Purple Haze was the winner. You read that right: PURPLE. Tim wanted a deep green with beadboard. I wanted purple without beadboard. The compromise was purple, but with beadboard. Right now, the beadboard was a little beyond the scope of time that we had, so it's full on purple for now. With bright white fixtures and bright white trim, it rocks!
And of course, as you know, I always have to learn something from everything I do. So what did I figure out?
Don't be afraid of bold colours, but go over your walls with a fine tooth comb and a magnifying glass - they show everything.
There is absolutely no reason to cop out on painting behind the toilet.
Painting around a pedestal sink is a pain in the ass.
Cling Wrap is your best friend for masking toilets and pedestal sinks.
I gotta be honest - I'm not rushing to put the beadboard up.
