1) I call it the panic room because there was no color to it. Cream walls, cream tile, white cabinet and countertop. I'm usually one for neutrals, but this was too neutral even for me! We lucked out on the tile color though. Several houses built during this time had colorful tile that can be difficult to update around. (You know, the avocado, light blue, pepto-pink, etc. ) Mostly the bathroom needed a good scrub, fresh paint, and a couple fixtures.
2) There was no overhead light in the bathroom. Only a fan in the ceiling. We learned this while we were painting the room one night.
3) The toilet was old and had to go. Enough said. (Excuse Lucy in the picture.)
4) The tiled soap, toilet paper, toothbrush, and towel holders had to be removed. This was Stephen's job. He was great at removing each with minimal wall damage and then patching each hole with drywall and mud.
5) Then we painted! Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams is the perfect bathroom color. It's amazing what paint can do!
This is not a complete room transformation. We still plan to remove the cabinet and add granite countertops. I'll update this original post when it's complete.
