before pictures of bathroom reno

its been a while since i did any personal decorating or renovations so i thought i would give my bathroom a little face lift. the changes are simple. the space is very neutral with cream walls, white toilet and sink, simple mirror and orange based ceramic tile and wood vanity. the first step in changing a wall color is to look at what existing colors will be staying in the space. in this case its the wood cabinet and the tile floor both with an orange base. the compliment color to orange is green so choosing a new paint color will fall somewhere in the green family. choosing the right green can either be done by finding an accessory and matching it or simple choosing a shade that you like and matching your accessories to the chosen color. i decided to shop for a shower curtain that worked with the space and color matched the wall color to one of the designs in the curtain.

the bathroom is in great shape and doesn't need any major work however the window frames are old and dark brown so an easy way of making them look new again without replacing them is to paint out the metal frames with white spray paint. above the window sits an unused curtain rod which i will remove since curtains are not needed.
