I want to repaint our bathroom and DH and I cannot agree on colors. So, what colors are your bathrooms? Post pictures if you have them. I need some inspiration.

All of our bathrooms are painted "cool platinum" (sort of a taupey-champagne color).

Mine is white. But its really cute. I will try to take pics of it tonight. I don't have much space to work with and half the walls are TILE (so you can't hang anything) but I have done a good job with my theme.
My theme is the ocean in general I guess. I have a really cute fish shower curtain that is white with HUGE fishies swimming on it. They are sort of sewn on, so its a 3D look. My shower hooks are also fishies. Next to the toilet I have this really cool wood box that is painted with a beach scene. It opens up and holds 4 rolls of toilet paper. Everyone loves it when they see it. Over the toiled there is room for ONE shelf. We got a cool one that looks like oars from a boat. On the top shelf we have a miniature sailboat (like a model) and a vase with flowers. On the bottom one we have a light house candle holder, some cool turtle figurines and a picture frame with sand and shells in it. Then we have room for two other pictures which are box frames with houses in them. They are filled with sand and shells too! Very cute!

Master bath is plain old white. Half bath is a neutral taupe. It looks very Pottery Barn because of the white and chrome accessories.

Our powder room is a periwinkle blue. Of our bathrooms, it is the one that has the colour I love the best. Our ensuite bathroom is yellow and the other upstairs bathroom is a pale blue (was like this when we bought the house). We will be repaintng it soon to a pale mint green,

Our main bath is a brownish color called Cafe Mocha (think light chocolate milk) with white trim. Our half bath is painted a sage green color called English Meadows, also with white trim.

Erica- you've seen our bathrooms in my journal. Take any idea you'd like from it. Just a word of warning: those small decoration in between the tiles of the kids' bathroom look very nice. Putting them in, however, was extremely messy! So remove eveything from your bathroom before doing any painting and such (which tells you I didn't... they put hose decorations in after we were already living there...).

Our bathroom is painted white since we live in an apartment. Our accessories are pink, blue, purple and green.

Our front bath is pale blue with sandpiper (pale sand) and white trim...all accessories are Target's Rubber Ducky line! It's the bathroom between the girls' room and the computer room, so I wanted it kid friendly. Our master bath is white with purple and dark green shower curtain...kind of a mish mash right now, but it'll be redone eventually.

Mine has white tiles on the walls & black tiles on the floor, black sink & toilet. I don't like it but it is a rented appt :dunno:

I don't recommend black sink and toilet because of the white stains :tear:

You've seen one of ours, Jen - the yellow one. The other is plain white. Phil totally objected to the yellow at first, but he's used to it now. :)

my bathroom is (in my eyes) hideous. it's wallpapered! i hate paper in bathrooms. to make it worse, the bottom is verticle stripes, pretty subtle in pale yellows and blues. the top, however, is CLOUDS! :dead: and in the middle is a border of kids playing on the beach.

it's heinous. but i am too lazy right now to strip and paint it.

marc's bathroom (the master) is the same color as our bedroom...kind of a light celery.

the 1/2 bath downstairs is an obnoxious yellow with a sunflower border up top. again, ugly....again, i'm lazy :lol:

our master bathroom has a great mix of browns and a little hint of blue mixed in. I love it.

Kim, if the paper isn't textured, just paint over it. I've seen them do that on T/S, and it works just fine. :nod:

They did this in our house ...we found out when we hired someone to strip the damn stuff!. The wall guy said that we could have done it, too, but that you HAVE to use a sealant on the wallpaper (seals in anything & acts as a primer), or else your paint job wont really look nice for the long haul.

Anyway.....
Our main bath has white tile walls...only the top 1/4 of the wall is plaster. Right now its white. We have been planning to paint it a bright blue, but havent gotten around to it.
Our master bath, which we just gutted and re-did, is a gray/sageish color. I think its cheyenne stone or something like that. Very PB looking with our white trim and silver stuff.

Our main bathroom is a bright yellow, with white subway tile around the whole room and the shower. the floor is old tile, in an intricate basket weave pattern, in black and white (using little 1/2 inche and 1/4 inch black and white tiles, totally cool!).

Our powder room is white and green. We have painted white beadboard wainscotting, with green and white toile wallpaper on the walls, and green marble on the floor.

(bad pic, but the best one I have right now)
