| | Well, after trying out about ten different colors in my bathroom (the
one with peach (and maroon) colored tiles and a blue floor), I have
decided to paint it the whitest white I could find to match the
fixtures. Here is a 'before' picture:
The only window is frosted and was covered by two layers of dark,
maroon colored shower curtains (the curtain over the window is now
frosted and between the tub and the rest of the bathroom, it is
clear). The walls above the tiles had red wallpaper, except in
the tub where the walls and cieling are painted maroon. So I was
engulfed in a sea of dark maroon every time I took a shower and had to
have all the lights in the bathroom on just to be able to find the soap
in there. All the
cabinet doors are also painted maroon. The vanity lights and
medicine chest were white plastic trimmed in gold. It was my
least favorite room in the house and my choice of white will certainly
make it brighter. I'm especially looking forward to the white in
the tub area...it will brighten my mornings for sure. I'm also
considering white for the back entry. It retains it's original
tongue and groove bead board walls and cieling and I've always been
fond of crisp, white bead board...a fondness I no doubt got from my mom
who's bathroom is white beadboard and when we lived in Piedmont, our
sun porch (which became my younger brother's nursury) was also white
bead board. Speaking of Piedmont, Easter morning reminds me of
our childhood tradition which made Easter the second (only to
Christmas) most anticipated morning of the year. The Easter Bunny
would leave each of us kids a basket full of candy and green plastic
grass outside our bedroom doors. But the real fun was finding the
jelly beans hidden all over the living and dining rooms. Just
like Christmas, we were not allowed to come downstairs until everybody
was ready and then when the time came, there would be a frantic dash
around the rooms searching for the jelly beans. Most were found
quickly, but there were always those tricky few that would make for
nice surprises throughout the day. And that was it...just lots of
candy. It seems like maybe we had a nice dinner, but no big
Easter ham as far as I can remember. We would also usually dye
Easter Eggs. It has been a rainy week with no end in sight.
I suppose it is good for my flowers. I think I have enough
painting work to do to keep me busy all day if I choose to do that, but
I'm open to the possibility of being a bit lazy.
