New Color in the Bathroom

Several post ago I was asking for suggestions for the paint color for my bathroom..since the drywall and everything had to be replaced due to our water damage. We had to paint the new drywall so it was the perfect time to make changes in the paint color.

Have you wondered what color we decided on?

Well we liked the colors of the bathroom as it was redone just a few yrs ago, but the paint color didn't match the shower curtain very well. So I chose a color that was closer to the shower curtain called Svelte Sage by Sherwin Williams. It is a grayish green and I really like it. So calming! The ceiling color we painted SW Ancient Marble.

It's not a whole lot different, but I think it does look better.

Here is the before:

And the after:

The sink is from Oceana glass sinks in Crystal Reflections. I am a dealer for Oceana...so if you are interested in an Oceana sink...just contact me I'll give you a great deal!

Moving & Picking Paint Colors

We are moving out today into the vacation rental. Wish the reason was because of vacation! Unfortunately it is not! It is due to the extensive water damage we received while we were on vacation from a water supply line that busted in our newly remodeled kitchen. UGH!!!

The contractors are starting the work on Monday...yeah! They still expect it to take 6-8 weeks, but at least we will be back before the holidays.

So I am changing a few paint colors since they have to paint anyway. I have chosen SW Nomadic Desert for the LR/DR. Do any of you have this color in your home? Here's a photo I found on google of the color.



We currently have that UGLY popcorn acoustic ceiling, so we are taking this time to scrape that off the ceilings...yeah!

I am thinking for the LR/DR ceilings to paint them SW Kilm Beige. It is one up on the color swatch from Nomadic Desert. Here is a photo I found of a celing with SW Kilm Beige. What do ya think??



I think I want to change the paint color in the bathroom and need your help! My 20 yr old daughter mainly uses this bathroom, but it is also the bathroom any guests at our home use. She likes the different shades of green in the bathroom. However it has always kinda bothered me that the green fabric shower curtain is a different shade than the walls. I don't really want to change anything else in the bathroom. Want to stick with green, white/cream, with black as the accent color. So with that in mind what color should I use for the walls (other than beige)?? Any suggestions??

I have the SW paint color pallete, so if you have suggestions...please let me know!!

Update: What do you all think of SW Svelte Sage for the bathroom walls & Sw Ancient Marble for the ceiling??

Favorite Paint Colors

I’m joining Melissa over at 320 Sycamore for a paint party today, so I’ll show you a few paint colors I have in my home...the ones I can identify at least. I now only use Sherwin Williams paint, but before I discovered Sherwin Williams I used paint mainly from Lowes or had it custom mixed at Lowes so I don't have names for those paint colors.

If you are looking for a great fresh lime green....how about Sherwin Williams Sassy Green? That is the color Callie chose for her bedroom. I think it looks great! Not too bright, just right!

Now my 20 yr old daughter, Aubrie wanted a serene grey on her walls, so she chose Sherwin Williams Gray Screen. Her room is very calming...just what she wanted.

When I tore down my wallpaper in my kitchen I thought, hmmm...what color should I paint the walls. Well the best way to get a good flow from room to room is to use colors from the attached rooms. So my living room/dining room is attached to my kitchen so I pulled in the sage green from my sofa and chose Sherwin Williams Clary Sage.
