I'm rethinking the bathroom paint job yet again. Instead of putting pale iris or bright pantry yellow paint over the light blue tiles and stenciling in the occasional art nouveau flower, I'm seriously considering using the medium green paint and then stippling it with the light green and silver. It would add visual interest and a little bit of silver would help boost the poor lighting in there. Marine bathrooms are a cliche, but I think it would work. Maybe. Except that most of the accessories are yellow and white...
OTOH, I was intending to use high gloss paint, considering the environment, and I'm not sure how well a reflective paint stipples enough to be seen. Adding a metallic note may be overkill.
In other decisions, the Container Store is probably going to get more $$ out of me because I think I'm going to use Elpha shelving over the toilet instead of a built-in cabinet or built-in shelves. Built-ins or furniture would look much better, but the pantry has proven that elpha is seriously load-bearing and it is adjustable. I think I need to be practical, and it's not like the area over the toilet is one people are going to be looking at much anyway.
One thing I know for sure, I don't want to repaint the ceiling. I want to cover it with something water-resistant. I was originally considering decorative tin, but it's a special-order expensive hassle, and probably too much for a 5.5ish x 7ish room. So I brought home an inexpensive peel-and-stick bit of lino and whacked it up just to see if it would stick and stay stuck over the next few days.
Why yes, I am avoiding scraping off wallpaper, why do you ask?
