The Peach Bathroom

Peach Bathroom...Yeah, lets change that.
 
The bathrooms in this house...while functional, leave much to be desired.
 
 
PEACH. While, not my least favorite color-- It does not necessarily complement the neutral chic, calm aesthetic I am aiming for throughout the house.
 
 
While most of the house will be the color on the left, I decided to be bold in my color choice for the bathrooms- Sherwin Williams "Backdrop" (7025)
 
Dark? Yes, but the key is balance, the dark color will not feel overwhelming when the wainscot, cabinets, and shelving is all white.
 

 
Here we are, Peachy Pie.
One of the things that I have always loved about this house is the hexagon floor tile in this bathroom.
It would break my heart if some dummy were to ruin it.
 
Plan: The wainscot, cabinets, built ins will all be stripped, sanded, primed and painted white.
Above the wainscot will be the dark "Backdrop" color.

Edit:


Coat of primer on the built-ins, and wainscot! It already looks so different!
I know it's partially the angle but I think it looks bigger and more open with the white paint.

 
First coat of color! My contractor says -- "Dang this paint is dark, are you sure about this?"
Absolutely.
 
 
 Here it is! All zen and clean. I love that the old hex tiles really stand out now!
Eventually ,the tub will be getting refinished as well (you can't see it right now). So glad this one's done and I had to do none of it! Money gets things done, haha!
