Well, it's been two years. Time to paint the bathroom (again).

Hellllllllo everyone!

So many updates, not enough time to blog.  #firstworldproblems

Let's get crackin'.

So, we have this bathroom downstairs where more spiders occupy that space than living, breathing humans. The amusing thing about this said bathroom is Shane initially purchased the house because "this bathroom was so nice."  Funny how much your sense of style changes as you live through your 20's.  Seven years ago we were thankful for a bathroom that didn't have floor to ceiling laminate.  Now, I can't help but notice the baby blues and soft pinks prominently embedded in our tile.  The early 90's called and they don't want that tile back.  Our bathroom was painted in Benjamin Moore's color, Meditation.  Although this is a very clean and masculine color, it did nothing for our bathroom space.  In actuality, it made the space more closed off and small looking.

Living in a typical split, the size of the bathroom doesn't stretch far beyond a skinny rectangle.  This particular bathroom was built with ceilings just low enough that some friends and family members are unable to occupy the space.  Raising the ceiling has reserved itself on our "if we stay here long enough" list.

If I had a dime for every dime-sized spider I saw in our bathroom, I would probably have eight dimes...  To me, that is eight dime-sized spiders too many.  It was time to make a slight change.

As you can see in the above photos, the bathroom is too dark.  Thankfully, a few weeks ago I was going through all of my old paint cans and came across a paint color that I bought, but had no idea what I was going to use it for.  I think maybe it was for the bathroom?  The color is BM Moonshine, and I love everything about it.  To me, the color has a bit of an industrial-modern look to it, but still serene and lovely.

Although there are a few things that need to be done to this bathroom to achieve completion, I think just changing the paint color made a world of difference.  Enough of a difference where I haven't found ANY spiders dwelling there for two weeks.

 ... and for the bonus.  The pink and baby blue hues in the tile aren't as noticeable with this paint color as it was with the other.
