Our powder room definitely needed to be painted a neutral color since we are planning to put our house on the market in a few months. It is a VERY small space and it was dark so it was very difficult to photograph before. It was definitely a bordello red, but it looked better in person than it does in these photos.
It doesn't even look like the red on the wall goes with the red on the artwork, but it did.
So, we picked a color from Lowe's, and of course, I didn't like it, so I mixed it with something I already had. I painted the mirror an old rubbed bronze because the gold mirror just didn't look right with the new color. I showed you how I did this in a previous post.
Here the paint looks more of a yellow, but it isn't.
I also painted the tin container on the left a more avocado green so that it would go with the urn on the wrought iron shelf.
This project was done in January, lest you think we didn't work on our "honey do" list this weekend. We checked several small things off of the list which definitely feels great!
Next weekend we will be starting the tiling of the upstairs bathroom. We have 2 weekends scheduled for it.
Hope you all had a great weekend. Please leave a comment and let me know what you did!
Thanks for stopping by,
Pam

Pam, I love the new color. I had to repaint mine last year, too. You should have no problem selling except for the economy.
ReplyDeleteI should have you come and redo our powder room! Brava! Happy Mosaic Monday!
ReplyDeletePretty redo. Like the new paint color.
ReplyDeleteBoth colors look good! but the beige is definitely more for the masses! Lucky finishing up the list and selling your house!

ReplyDeleteYour powder room looks lovely. I like the color a lot. The tin container is amazing in that color too! Wow!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely mosaic. I love what you did with your powder room but may I say that I loved the old colour. I understand that you want it light to make it bigger.
ReplyDeleteLooks great and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the accent and the colors of painting.
Very nice! Cathy
ReplyDeleteI like the color you mixed - sometimes green can become a neutral - it really works in that small area!
