Second, like so often occurs, this tiling project catapulted our plans for giving this little bathroom a facelift. Now, we also have freshly painted walls and a new vanity to boot!
When we set out to freshen up this bathroom, I settled on this beautiful space as my inspiration.

I painted the walls this color. I found a vanity on Craigslist in San Francisco. Naturally, I convinced my whole crew to trek down there with me a couple Friday nights ago so we could snag it.
This faucet just arrived in the mail. I found this mirror at a local thrift store, and it's waiting to be hung. It's admittedly not consistent with my inspiration image but I've always loved it, it was $30, and I still think it'll look good. (Need to figure out what to do about the current medicine cabinet situation). Still need to find a new light fixture to replace the granny-chic one we currently have going on. Baseboard should go in within the next couple of days.
My current dilemna is whether or not to paint the vanity. When we originally set out to select a vanity, I was thinking we'd settle on one of the lower grade options at Home Depot or Lowes, so I would definitely paint it. However, the vanity we ended up getting is nicer than those, and really not offensive at all in its current state. It's a nicer, solid wood, and the dark, espresso stain is pretty nice as is. The thing is, nearly all the bathrooms I'm drawn to (a quick perusing of my bathroom pins told me this) include a painted vanity. I feel like I'm leaning towards painting it (thinking this color would be a good match for my inspiration image). What do you think?
Here are a few painted vanities for your consideration…

Sooooo, to paint or not to paint?!
Paint paint paint!
ReplyDeletePaint! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my word it's looking so good!!! I'm jealous of the clean looking floors ;) I would say live with it for about a month before making any decisions especially if you are on the fence. It may be easier for you to decide once it's all put together too. Either way it will be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely paint. I just did mine last month in a very similar color and makes such a huge difference!
ReplyDeleteI think the vanity looks nice as-is. However, the paint color you've selected is very nice as well, so I would say paint. But if you choose not to paint you still will have a lovely bathroom.
