As a refresher, here’s the ‘before’ picture of our bathroom before her makeover:
Such potential, she has! All she needs is a little TLC and her inner diva will SHINE!
As you can see, we have a chair rail with beige paint on the top half and wallpaper on the bottom.
The wallpaper is coming out and we will use “Agreeable Gray“ by Sherwin Williams as our main color. Why?
- To Save Money (we still have some from painting our living room) and…
- Because we love Agreeable Gray!
SW’s Agreeable Gray is a beautiful light greige (a combination of gray and beige) that is both calming and dynamic. It’s not too beige in that it looks muddy- nope it’s clean, crisp and modern. It’s also not so gray that it makes the room cold- this color has a lot of warmth. Based on light exposure throughout the day, sometimes we get more beige and at other times, more gray. So far, we haven’t found anything we don’t like about this wall color.
Which is why we don’t have a problem reusing it for this bathroom. If anything, it keeps the bathroom cohesive with the living room since you can see one from the other.
We had also used “Snowbound” by Sherwin Williams for our living room trim and wanted to incorporate that (for additional cost savings). Unfortunately, we went down to the basement to discover that we don’t have enough.
So, off to the paint store we go to pick up more paint!
Deciding Between 2 Wall Color Ideas:
The side benefit of having to buy new paint is that we can switch things up a little more than we had planned.
The chair rail in particular presents the following 2 options:
Option #1 – Paint both sides of the chair rail the same color
Option #2 – Paint each side a different color
