Bathroom update

Well I don't have the kitchen post yet because we are still waiting on the rest of the hardware we ordered to arrive.  It looks great though and I promise I will post pictures as soon as I can.  However, I realized that I never blogged about redoing our downstairs half bathroom.  When we moved in, the bathroom was a fairly bright blue, which actually was a pretty color, but it didn't jive with the rest of the house and I wanted something a little more calming for such a small, windowless space. 

So a month or so ago, I picked a color that I thought would look similar to the green in our living room, and painted it in a few hours.  Well, the color wasn't right.  Again, it was a pretty color, but it was brighter than I wanted and a little bit too "under the sea" for me.  So back to the store I went to get more color swatches.  After a lot of agonizing (I did NOT want to paint the room a third time), and almost quitting halfway through, I gritted my teeth and painted it again.  And this time, I love it!  It's a nice, calm green that doesn't overwhelm the small space.

I would love to update the pedestal sink and the toilet, but we don't have the budget for that, so I just switched out the builder basic mirror for a framed one, added a shelf and some decorations, and voila!  So much better.  Here are the after pictures.
