Refreshing Robin's Nest
Colors Used: BEHR were the bases for the paints, but the colors were mixed. I used a satin finish on the walls and a glossy on the molding. The glossy was a Lamp Black. The room with the tub is a lighter robin's egg blue (similar to "Robin's Nest" by Benjamin Moore) and the toilet room is a darker blue similar to "Behr's Refreshing pool", but these were not the exact colors. I brought in a plate to be matched for the darker robin's egg blue in the toilet room.
Color Tip: I liked the contrast of dark gray and black with the light cleanness of the robin's egg blue. The mid-wall molding and low ceiling are characteristics of the bathroom that are original to the house and I wanted to emphasize them.

Is that Broder? I love that place.
Oh yes, Broder. I too, felt the urge to paint a room that color immediately after going to that restaurant. Yours looks just as inviting.
I love a chandelier in a bathroom. Excellent.
I'm so jealous!
So beautiful! Where is your chandelier from?
wait...what's going on in these pictures? you have a sink right outside the bathroom--the bathroom that also has a sink in it? i'm so confused.
A bathroom has never been more inviting!
This is great! Every bathroom should have a chandelier!
Love the palette, especially the black on the wall molding against the blue! Achieved exactly what you wanted for emphasis without going overboard - perfect.
Love the colors and the feel. The style is cohesive but also very "now". Good work!
