A Cottage Bathroom Redone
Sometimes, your decorating plans work out just right. And sometimes, they come
close but not close enough. Such was the case with the bathroom at the
cottage.
It's feeling light and fresh now but it wasn't always this way. We first
decorated this bathroom
last summer. We installed shiplap, painted, put in new lighting and
accessories and it looked like this:
Which was perfectly fine... until we actually started using the bathroom. The
mid-tone grey-green paint made the room feel small and dark. The lighting in
the room, above the sink and above the shower, never felt bright enough. The
bath accessories were a fail too. Towels kept falling off the hooks and the
accessories looked too industrial and heavy. It felt entirely wrong for our
bright and airy cottage.
And yet we lived with it for a while because who wants paint all those shiplap
grooves again? Not me!
But then we decided to replace the faucet and it changed everything. This
gorgeous
Trinsic Two-Handle Widespread
faucet from Delta Faucet Canada brought the modern + country style I was
craving. I love the gooseneck design and the feel of the matte black finish in
your hands.
With all these pretty and new accessories, we knew we couldn't live with
the depressing grey paint any longer. So we repainted the room in Spring
Melt by Martha Stewart. Her paint is no longer sold but I still have her paint
chips so we colour matched it in Benjamin Moore paint.
Now, the bathroom feels bright and happy and I actually love going in there. I've learned my lesson: if it doesn't feel right - repaint!
