Ana M on Mar 29, 2012Hi Aimee, the dark color in my bathroom you asked me about is Cyberspace from Sherwin Williams. If you have a shower in your bathroom make sure and buy the bathroom paint not regular.Helpful Reply

HandyANDY - Handyman & All Repairs, LLC on Mar 30, 2012Ana - means an eggshell or sating finish paint. In a bathroom, prep the walls well first and clean with a light solution of water & tsp or you can wipe & spray with krudkutter. This will kill off an lingering mold or mildew spores on the walls & ceiling. It's also a good idea to add M1 to bath paints to retard future mold/mildew growthHelpful Reply

Project Style, LLC on Mar 31, 2012The vanity and floor are neutral enough that almost any color would work. Are you going to replace the shower curtain? We like to start with a fabric we love and then choose a paint color to complement it. Do you want the adjoining rooms to "flow" with similar color schemes? What colors appeal to you? If none come to mind, take a look in your closet. People can often use the colors they love to wear as the starting point for choosing a color palette for their homes.Helpful Reply

Project Style, LLC on Apr 02, 2012If you have concerns about painting the entire room and then not liking it, try the paint on several pieces of poster board first and look at the color at various times of the day.Helpful Reply

Culpepper Carpets and Interiors, Inc. on May 16, 2012I like the idea of a pale green in there. The photo helped, thank you. Sherwin Williams has a lovely color called Pistachio SW1429. I would get a sample first, they are not expensive.Helpful Reply

Culpepper Carpets and Interiors, Inc. on May 16, 2012That was my color advice, now Aimee, I would paint the vanity either a low scheen black or semigloss white & replace the knobs. I would suggest going to Beds Bath & Beyond or home depot & purchasing an over toilet cabinet that coordinates with the vanity color, buy a large decorative mirror on sale at Hobby Lobby & a linen look in the shower curtain. I would put a metal wine rack on the wall & roll the towels & put them on the wine rack on the wall & remove the floor shelf. I would buy a fun decorative rug also.Helpful Reply

Culpepper Carpets and Interiors, Inc. on May 16, 2012I almost suggested that instead of black. That is an outstanding choice Aimee.Helpful Reply
