Bathroom: Part Two

I’ve been feeling a little on the down-side of things for the lack of time life seems to have as a full-time working parent, but getting the bathroom finished up helped momentarily perk me up.  There’s still a long list of things left to do but I’m not sure we’ll ever get to those (quarter-round, trim piece under the mirror, patch holes, etc., etc..).  In the meantime though, I can’t say I’m not excited with how things turned out.  :)

The towel bar was found in the coat closet when we bought the house, which we prepped and painted glossy black.  The screws are brass which stand out nicely against the glossy black—an insignificant detail I’m sure no one notices but it’s one of my favorites.

And there above… that tiny, tiny orchid, is the only “color” I’ve managed to bring into the bathroom.  Le sigh… my color phobia continues.

    It turned out great! I love it all white with little black touches. That last photo is lovely: creamy whites with the black towel bar and the black pot holding the delicately pink orchid.

    Love love love the subway tiles…they are on my list to include in a future home. They just have such a great classic look to them while still being modern. Looks great!

  11. wow, your bathroom is amazing! i have a fear of colour too. i’m worried it makes things look cluttered. i like white & wood. that’s about it. haha.
