Ideas For The Bathroom
Hello and happy Friday to you all! It’s been a good week so far, my husband even let me sleep in today which was wonderful! But now, it’s back to work :) I am thinking about doing a little project in my bathroom and I would like you all to chime in with your opinion if you don’t mind…
I have been steadily working at tagging all of the previous posts for this blog so you can search for things more easily. That means that I have to do each post individually. I could just blitz through and do them all at once but I can only handle so much monotony per day so I have been doing about 20 posts a day. I should be done in a week or so… yay!! Anyway, yesterday as I was going through them, I came across this post where I blogged about some scrapbooking pages I had done. For some reason, seeing this page that I made 3 years ago stopped me in my tracks:
It wasn’t because of the page that I had to take a second look but because of the paper. I have been thinking about doing a pattern on the wall in the guest bathroom for a while now and just couldn’t decide what I wanted. Then when I saw the above page, I just knew it was the right thing. Now that I have repainted the bathroom, it’s a bit more subdued. It needs a little something to bump it up a notch. You can see pictures of what the bathroom looks like here. I would just like to put the pattern on the wall with the mirror. And If I really like it, maybe it will make its appearance on another wall in the adjoining room (the guest bathroom is actually two connected rooms). The reason I was super excited about this paper was because it reminded me of the wallpaper designed by Joy Cho which I am totally in love with. Here is the one I really love, in 3 different colors:
If you want to purchase these, you can find themat Hygge & West. Isn’t my scrapbook paper somewhat similar?
Anyway, here is where I need your help. I’m not sure what color to go with. The bathroom is a light gray so the background will be this color with a different color making the pattern. I’m going to use paint markers to draw it on again (since it seems to work so well for me!). I really love the gold but I have already used gold in the hallway which is right next to the bathroom. Would that be too much, or should I just go for it because I love it? I also could make the pattern white. But, would that be too subtle? Then there is always silver or gray as well…
Ahhhh, I need help! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I would appreciate it very much :)

I think you should do a lighter or darker hue of the actual wall color. I love monotone!
I like the idea of gold on white. But I also think that a navy blue on the white would look really cool (and then you can pull in the gold from the hallway as an accent).
Dark blue, darker grey, or white is my vote!! No gold on grey!! :) I think you should try and do the flowers!! YOU CAN DO IT!!! Good luck!!
