Wop and other decorating nesties
I need some help/inspiration for my guest bath. It's very blah. I went to BB&B yesterday and stood in the towel and rug section for what seemed like hours. Nothing jumped out at me.
I need to pick paint color(s), rugs, towels, artwork, hardware and a window treatment.
Builder grade bathroom circa 1997:
Do you have any suggestions/inspiration pictures to share?
Re: Wop and other decorating nesties
What about taking the chair rail next to the toilet and under the window around the whole room and doing colors similar to this? It would match the colors in the floor.
This color is pretty too. We're actually doing a simlar color and style to this in our bathroom right now. We're installing white wainscoting just like this too.
Have you thought about painting the vanity white, getting a white mirror, and changing the lights?
I think this would help alot. I also really like wainscoting in bathrooms too.
Yes, I've thought about it. But it's nothing I want to do now. I just want to make it liveable for now, in it's current state.
The first thing on the list of things to buy for the house is stuff to fill this empty room:
lol. Ahhh...lovely, completely empty, livingroom.
Our living room was empty for the first year we lived there.
I guess I don't really have one. I like color. Right now, the basement color "theme" is light blue, navy blue, orange and gray. We are going for a relaxed and fun atmosphere. There will be a bar, a game room, a huge tv and huge couch for lounging and watching movies.
Yay! I'm not the only one
My goal is to have it filled by 6 months. It's been 2 so far 
That would be so fun!
Thank you! That would be awesome.
My only worry is that it's a color similar to one of our main floor baths. Do you think it's weird to have bathrooms that are decorated or painted in similar colors?
The one I'm talking about is painted in a light grey/blue/purple. I tried to pull the light blue out of it by decorating with browns, greens, and blues.
Our living room was empty for over a year, too. I felt like such a grown up when we finally put furniture in it!!
My master bathroom is the room that I let close friends/family use for overnight (since it has the awesomly huge relaxing tub in it)
I did my master bathroom chocolate brown with cream trim on the walls.
I hung up cream towels, with chocolate brown washclothes for decoration. I have folded towels/washclothes on a shelf near the tub to actually be used.
I keep a colorful plant in there - to keep it from being too neutral. The plant changes often, because I can't seem to keep them alive.
I keep hooks on the back of the door for my robes.
