I am remodeling my bathroom. I would like to use sunflowers in the decor--light yellow (?) walls, dark yellow shower curtain, and I hope to paint the cabinet, medicine cabinet, door, and the bar part of the towel rack dark green. I would like to paint the base of the towel rack a dark yellow, to make it look like sunflowers.
I would also like to build some sort of cabinet above the toilet similar to the recessed one that is there, and make it look like the whole area above the sink and toilet is a medicine cabinet, without removing the stud between the 2 cabinets.
Another question: I have hardwood oak flooring (the real deal!) in the hallway leading to the bathroom. I think the casing and the outside of the bathroom door will be painted--a close match to the flooring. (All of the wood on my old windows and doors are in poor shape, which is why I hope to paint all of them, until I can afford to put new windows in the other rooms.) Would it look out of place to have the interior of the bathroom door/cabinets painted dark green, or would that detract from the rest of the house?
If someone can tell me how to upload some photos, it will help you see where I'm coming from.
Thank you.
I think the extended medicine cabinet might look a little odd, but I think most of those things are an issue for about a week, until you get used to them. And if it is better, bigger storage for you, then it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks it looks like. For resale, I doubt the size of the medicine cabinet is going to make or break a sale and, again, I think somebody will appreciate the extra storage.
