Name: Lindsey
Location: Augusta, Georgia
Type of Home: single family home
Color Inspiration: I love bright colors and vivid contrast. When I began choosing colors for my home this bright pink was one of the first colors I got really excited about. Also, the color name is "Cheery" which I just love. With the white cabinets and white beadboard wainscoting the color has a great impact without being overly vivid. Also, pink is a really great color for a bathroom; it really brightens your skin and cheers you up.
Give Lindsey a THUMBS UP if you think this room belongs in the finals!

Colors Used: The pink is Behr 150B-5 Cheery. The color of the tub comes from an underwater photo. I took the photo in to Lowe's and had the color custom mixed.
Color Tip: Just go hunting for the colors you really have a reaction to. I was totally overwhelmed when I realized just how MANY walls there were in my house. I had no idea where to begin. I started with one room and just picked a color. Then I moved from room to room choosing complementary colors that didn't clash when they flowed together. Choose colors that you love and your home will reflect your personality.

That's a really darling room. Wish I could take a bubble bath right now. I'm generally not attracted to bathroom design, but these colors are so engaging! I didn't know Lowe's custom mixed colors. Good to know.
Two questions - did you do the painting with left over paint from the wall and tub? It's really cute. Also - did you hang the beads from the light fixture yourself? That's really cute as well.
I do hope we get to see the rest of your home. Good luck!

Peggy: Thanks for the compliments! I did indeed do the painting with leftovers. I have so much of the aqua paint left that I've been using it all over the place - like on my front door! :-D And, yup, I also did the little "chandelier".

I never thought I'd vote for a pink bathroom but the tub totally won me over. Espcially the story of how you picked the color.

Lovely. But I think the shower curtain is a missed opportunity.

Ok. Now I've gotta paint my claw-foot tub. I wondered what it would look like in blue/teal - You've totally won me over.

This is beautiful. I love that you took a generally cold and non atmospheric room and made it inviting and cosy and colorful. I too am a fiend for bright contrasts and colors. I think this looks lovely. It's almost like a regular room that happens to have a bath tub and toilet in it! :)

Me thinks it was wildly unfair you to be put alongside "Michael's Love Affair with Color"... the vast majority of the rest are inferior to both you and Michael's :|

Awe I love it! The only thing I'm not feeling is the lighting (as in the color of the light, not the actual fixture--love the chandelier btw). Because the colors of the wall are pink, bulbs with a natural, white, or blue tones to it would showcase this perfectly. The soft white/yellow lighting makes the pink look dingy and orangey.
