Now that we finished painting the living room it’s time to head back to our new apartment to-do list and try to tackle another big item project.  Since -aside from selecting a color- painting the living was actually a pretty easy project, we decided to also paint our bathroom.  The color choice was somewhat daunting for me, but only because I’m obviously good at picking the wrong color.  But I knew I wanted the bathroom to be somewhere in the blue-green family so that helped me narrow down choices, kind of.

At first I went to the local hardware store and grabbed handfuls of paint swatches.  Literally, handfuls. We taped them all up to the bathroom wall.  Taped them to multiple walls, every wall.  Looked in the morning, at night, with natural light, with the lights on, with no light.  And in the end, we realized that it’s pretty hard to differentiate between different blues and greens and blue-greens.  There were obviously no-ways, so we removed those, but we still had at least 12 colors in the running.

Here’s a look at a few of the paint colors that we considered for the bathroom:

Stay tuned for the after.
