This tired old house - Part 5 - Master Bath

We have the challenge of working around lots of pink tile in our tiny master bath. This is the same paint we used for the trim in my son's room & it looks off white/cream in there....but here.... it looks "off green?!" Go figure! Must be the reaction w/ the pink tile. It's not what I had planned but - I like it... a lot! :)

Need to get some dimmer bulbs or this tiny bathroom
could double as a tanning room when we really light it up! :)



Storage & counter space is minimal so I got a bit creative ....
shortened up a shoe organizer.

Our shower door was gold - we gave it a brushed nickel finish.

New mirror:

These few changes should hold us over until we're ready to really do some damage & renovate but for now they certainly made the pink tile more bearable.

Credits & Acknowledgement go to my dear hubby ... Kudos (!) sweetheart for diligently stripping away layer upon layer of strange paint & wallpaper!

Mirror $30
Organizer - $15
Towel Hooks - (not hung yet) $10
Paint - used leftover
other paint/supplies $20
Misc towels, plant, lotion, soap $20

Aprx $95 total

I LOVE the pink tile....what you have done around it gives the bathroom a sort of "simple elegance" look. And the shoe organizer IS a great idea....hmmm...

You have done an amazing job making, um, lemonade out of lemons! Or should I say "PINK" lemonade??? Really, you made the pink tile look like a good idea!

BTW, the mirror is SO cute.

Thank you ladies! So it's not my imagination.... it does look nice! Yeah :) The pink tile in the master bath & our red kitchen countertop have been interesting challenges to work w/ but in the end, I like them both :) ... & it was actually kinda fun (& certainly less expensive!) to try to make them look good as opposed to replacing/renovating.
