Bathroom Makeover

Shades of beige? Yes, shades of beige. This isn't your standard stock wall color. It's a little deeper and richer. It's the lack of gold tone in this paint that I actually like. It's Sherwin Williams Threshold Taupe.

The before color was a light pink.
What do you think? I like to call this room a clean line/shabby chic style.

The vintage mirror received a fresh coat of white paint. I love the contrast of the perfect gloss paint next to the weathered mirror tiles that line the bottom and top of the mirror.

The before of the mirror was quite beautiful, but the white paint adds an extra pop from the wall.
White lace curtains received a bath in tea. I put the curtains into a large pot and added tea bags and hot water. I let them soak for about 1/2 an hour, and then gave them a good wash.
Textures in this room are present in the gloss of the paint, ridges in the sea shell mirror, and the roughness of the coral. The aqua mercury glass and the blueness of the picture are the only colors this room needs.
Blessings, Ele

Ele, I think it turned out gorgeous, honey, but not many people can pull off such beautiful settings as you can!

Hi ELe,
I LOVE that color. It looks like its very close to the color I have in my laundry room. Its such a shabby color and your accessories all in white really POP!

Hugs...Lorena

I think it is just perfect Ele! I am getting into more whites and blues in my home and less pink. I really like the shells!
