From Jennifer:

“I felt like I had gotten the white and bright theme outta my system when I painted our upstairs bathroom white so on a whim, I picked up a quart of Urbane Bronze by Sherwin Williams color matched to Behr. And then I sized up our downstairs bathroom.

With a little paint and shopping around the house, I took this bathroom from white and airy to dark and moody for about the cost of a quart of paint (so less than $20).

Thank you Jennifer! See a lot more pictures and angles on Jennifer’s blog.
