I started by ripping off the AWFUL wallpaper. You can't tell by the picture, but it has teeny-tiny black dots and little pink flowers. The border is black and white with a bouquet of pink flowers. Ewww. The walls had ZERO texture. That added an unexpected step to my little adventure.
I'm quite certain that Doug enjoyed watching me work. I turned around several times to find him snapping pictures of me.

Next...what color does one paint a black and white bathroom? Red was a common answer. White was another. Baby blue is NOT my thing. Hmmmm. I made a rather bold choice of GREEN! As I began painting, my friend Melissa looked at the color and said, "I'm a little nervous for ya, girl!" I can't tell you how much that pleased me. Melissa's an art major and this wasn't an obvious choice for her. Good. I didn't want anything obvious.
Yikes! It was very green. Maybe I was a little nervous for me, too.

I painted the sink vanity and replaced the nasty white pulls with brushed nickel.

Finding the right shower curtain was a pain in the booty. Not to mention shelf do-dads.

There we have it. Our bathroom all freshened up. I don't hate it anymore. :)

Still to come...Doug will build a black frame to surround the mirror and I am looking for a large green rug to replace the black ones. Now here's my question: Do we replace the light fixture or keep it? If I do replace it, any ideas?

I would appreciate any and all helpful commentary on this. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Now I know why every time I have had the urge to call over the past few days I have questioned if the time was good or not?!!
I vote for leave the light fixture -I think it's very vintage-ish cute and excuse me for asking but just where are you hiding this bathroom anyway?? I have never seen it??
WonderBoy pronounces your makeover as "Fabuloso" so there ;-)
I love the green! As for light fixtures I would go modern. Have recess lights. The kind on a metal rod that give off just a hint of color that can be turned to face different directions. Do t know if ikea is near by but they are fantastic for this stuff. Of course home depot rocks it to
I don't think you have to replace the light. I mean, you certainly *could*, but, at least in the pictures, it kinda goes with the style of your flower sculpture on the toilet. Congrats on doing such a great job of changing the character of your bathroom. I like it!
I think the light fixture goes with the wall hangings, so I'd keep it. I really like it, your downstaris bathroom should be the one you point company to from now on. It looks great.
I would have never guessed the bathroom would have turned out so well. It looks amazing!!!! What can you do with pink tile?
Melissa-I still have 3/4 gal of that green!
