Becky P on Feb 27, 2013I want to eventually replace my sink top with an offset sink like you have. Do you like it that way or would you rather have it centered?Helpful Reply

Designs by BSB on Feb 27, 2013check this out.. took me just a few mins with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer tool. uploaded your photo and made your space updated! Cleaned up the colors .. removed them actually :) Walls - crisp white. Let the tile (which is really pretty! this color has come around in trends again!) ... the vanity? I am not fond of painted browns as they look fake - so showing it to you with a painted dark pewter. Greys are the new neutral. And it helps tone down the yellows in the counter top. If you can swing it --- Id put in a clean white counter top, in the same material, it would cost you approx $300 for custom (off centered bowl, which I would appreciate too for counter space!).Helpful Reply

Designs by BSB on Feb 27, 2013Thanks Miriam :-) Forgot to change the color of the towel.. again a bright, crisp white would totally support the updated look for about $8 :-)Helpful Reply

Connie B on Feb 27, 2013Personally, I think the white is too -- white, I guess. I would play off the beautiful green tile with blue walls. Not pastel, not cobalt, but a nice, definite BLUE. Then you could have white towels. Wish I were more computer savvy like BeckySue.Helpful Reply

Designs by BSB on Feb 28, 2013considering the amount of color in the tile and the adjoining bedroom, my eye sees the white paint as relief.. allowing the colors, design to breathe some.Helpful Reply

Gail Salminen on Feb 28, 2013@Roberta Galipeau Martin it may be a simple as coordinating your paint colours in the master bath and bedroom. I would probably tend to go towards more neutal colours or a pale avacodo green that way there is less fight with the green tiles yet neutalize it at the same time. For consideration for a neutral shade, http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/paint-color/twistedoakpath Avacodo consideration, http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/paint-color/paleavocado You can add more interest by accessorizing with other colours for the bathroom and bedroom - curtains, cushions, towels, etc. Thanks for posing the question and please post pics of your results :)Helpful Reply

Z on Feb 28, 2013I completely agree @Gail Salminen I kept meaning to mention the bedroom color, wondering if it was blue or a blue green and forgot each time.Helpful Reply

Gail Salminen on Feb 28, 2013@Z I couldn't tell if it was a blue or a green colour, but regardless the bathroom is pink and sink appears to be beige. So coordinating the colours would go a long way to minimize the various colours but still coordinate them.Helpful Reply

Z on Feb 28, 2013@Gail Salminen I thought the sink was green, but agree that it would help if the two rooms coordinated. I liked the color you found for the master bedroom walls. It could work on the bathroom walls and for the vanity too.Helpful Reply

Roberta Galipeau Martin on Mar 02, 2013Becky, the color in the master bedroom won't work in the bathroom... it is a blue/green color and would clash with the green tile color... I think I will go with a very light green/white base color for the walls. The sinktop is a beige color with a hint of green. I think a light green on the walls and darker green on the vaniety as Becky Blair mentioned would look the best. That feels like the most soothing to look at... I may paint the master bedroom a different shade of green later that more coordinates with the bath... but first I am making changes in the bathroom since the pink walls are really not what I don't like and see how that works out before making any changes in the bedroom. Also I forgot to mention there is white woodwork trim in the bath like the rest of the house and white walls would be way too much white... there is also a linen closet in the bath that is white. I am first going to address the walls and ceiling and shower walls and vaniety to see what else I need to change. Thanks for all your suggestions.Helpful Reply

Gail Salminen on Mar 02, 2013@Roberta Galipeau Martin I think what @Z was suggesting is to find a colour that was congruent with the green tiles and carry it into the master bedroom. Best to start with the bathroom then carry it into the bedroom, can change the depth of the colour so long as it is in the same colour pallet as the bathroom.Helpful Reply

Roberta Galipeau Martin on Mar 16, 2013I am pleased with how it turned out... and it looks good with the color the master bedroom is also.... the red tile trim and the pink and red ribbon trim tile made it possible to leave the pink curtain and artwork in pink frames... which have a lot of pink and green in them with help tie it all together. What do all you think? I appreciate all your imput.Helpful Reply

Roberta Galipeau Martin on Mar 16, 2013I am thinking of now tackling the main bathroom but only changing the white vaniety to a darker shade of beige to match the tiles in that bath.Helpful Reply

Gail Salminen on Mar 16, 2013@Roberta Galipeau Martin wow! what a huge improvement. Love the vanity painted green as well. I think you made the right decision to go with green, now the burgundy trim on the tiles pops! Thanks for posting the updated pics, you did a splendid job and it is great to see the results of your effort :)Helpful Reply
