He says: A bit more than a year ago my girlfriend and I decided to do something with our bathroom. The complicating factors for us were twofold: First: the bathroom is small, especially for two people trying to get their morning together at the same time, complicated by the door opening inward in a rather awkward way. The bathroom had two shelves as storage, one of which was falling down. The other complicating factor was that we discovered we were more interested in modern designs and stuck with a house built in 1920. [more pics, including a before shot, after the jump]
That color looks great, but, there's no mirror in there!
Love the color and light fixture. What's the secret to painting behind a toilet?
What paint color is the orange? Love it!
etslee, it's pretty easy to take a toilet off the stack and put it back on again, in order to pain back behind the tank. Do a little googling and you'll be able to find directions online.
I want to know to! What color orange is that? Donate to the color vault! ? :-)
Nice bathroom. I also use the same toner from TJ's, couldn't help but notice that.
Baddream: There is a mirror in there now. It took us a month or two to find the right thing. It matches the brushed metal look of the rest of the hardware.
Tai: The color is "dragon fire". It's one of the super saturated paints, so it doesn't cover very well. We had to do four coats for it to be done right (over primed walls).
This toilet is pretty far from the wall to begin with (about 3 inches) which makes it easier. The other thing to remember, is that it's easy to scrape paint off of porcelain (relatively speaking).
