Our Bathroom Remodel 2011
Wall Color, Cabinets, Knobs and Pulls and Rings
We began this remodel early this spring and it still isn't completely done (wrong color caulking for base of tub) but I thought I'd show you some of the things in the room that are completed.
The color of the walls look gray here, but it is really Nordic Blue by Valspar for Waverly. The following photos should give you more of an idea of the true color. It could be the settings on my monitor, but even the Valspar site paint samples didn't display the true color.
I want to say too, the shower curtain was purchased at Penney's, as well as the wall cabinet that is located above the toilet. The white shower rod (also from Penney's) is curved and we love it because now there's no more curtain adhering to our bodies!
It's a little fuzzy here, but I love these Wedgewood-looking shower curtain rings that I found on Ebay. The blue is a little darker than the walls, so it's a nice small accent. The metal is in unpolished silver.
Much of everything is white, with the small hints of blues like in the bath rug and lid cover from Penney's in Arona Blue. It actually goes quite well with the lighter Nordic Blue walls for a pop of color.
Even though this shot is a little 'wonky' it does give you the best impression of the actual color of the walls. The lights above the sink have three globes and luckily I also was able to get the towel hooks in the mirror on the opposite wall. I opted for the hooks for something different and yet functional. At first, I thought I'd have to buy a strip of wood, paint it white and then buy those hooks individually. But no! I found that whole rack already done on Amazon! Seperately, those hooks sometimes run about $25 a piece. (aff link)
The only 'improvement' to the hooks was that the screws showed when it was mounted on the wall, and Jim put small painted white wooden buttons in the holes to make it look more finished.
Just because I'm "me" and I wanted a little glam in the room, I also bought these drawer pulls from Knobs and More through Amazon. Vintage Style Glass Cabinet Drawer Knob Flower, Set of 6
Armstrong Vinyl Flooring - Safeguard Spa - Granite
Last, but not least, is the bathroom flooring we chose. It's called Safeguard Spa by Armstrong in granite color. This is a commercial flooring but our room wasn't that large, so it was cost effective for us. I really like it because even with wet feet I'm less likely to slip, which wasn't the case with our previous vinyl floor.
