Actually, I didn’t really mind the previous color in our powder room. Â It was a nice powder blue color that wasn’t causing anyone harm. Â I probably would have left the paint alone for a while longer, but when the towel holder fell out of the wall leaving a huge gaping hole, it was time for me to do something. Â Three months later. Â After I had several parties with the hand towel left on top of the toilet which is pretty gross. Â I’m a little ashamed. Â But last weekend, I finally patched the wall and painted the room, finishing it off with a new light fixture, towel holder and toilet paper holder. Â There’s gotta be a fancier name for that but I just don’t know it.
For the paint, I decided to go with the same color that I fell in love with in our living room – Opal Essence by Benjamin Moore. Â It is the perfect mint green as far as I am concerned. Â The light fixture is from Restoration Hardware and I am quite happy with how it updates the room but still gives a lovely vintage touch. Â We updated the towel and tp holder to oil rubbed bronze which is a nice contrast to the beadboard and wall color. Â To finish up the room, we definitely need a new mirror because look at how weirdly it is placed. Â There is a whole bunch of space below the mirror but it is super close to the fixture. Â Weird. Â Also, it needs to be bigger. Â I am planning on putting a white lacquer shelf in that big empty space above the toilet and filling it with lots of pretty art. Â Finally, when the finish on the faucet bugs me enough, I will probably just spray paint it oil rubbed bronze as well. Â People do that apparently. Â Way cheaper than buying a new one.
Looks soo much better and I am obsessed with that light fixture!
