Need a suggestion for wall color -big kid's bathroom

swanstdl · September 2009

I did these PBK-ish mermaids in acrylics for the girls' bathroom.

Up close view before they were hung. My husband called them Marlo Thomas and Loni Anderson. (We're old. )

Towels and shower curtain are PBK Emerson.

Here's some of the other decor. It is adjacent to a pink, green, khaki playroom and a pink/green bedroom.

The trim and doors are white, as are the toilet, sink and tub. I am hoping you can see the floor in the last picture. We are thinking maybe the green stripe color. Thoughts?

personally, i would do a lighter shade of the light blue.

me, too. it was my first thought. so many of the accents are pink, so they would stand out more w/the lt. blue shade pulled out.

Would it matter that neither of the adjacent rooms have blue?

I don't think so. You are pulling it all together in the towels and artwork. Plus if all three rooms were pink and green that might be too much. They're all in the same color family (it's not like you are doing navy blue).

those paintings are DARLING. i love them!

i think a light blue would be very nice!

i mostly wanted to tell you how cute those mermaids are!

Thanks so much! They had some mermaids at PBK, but they were almost $200.00 and sold out. I bought the canvases with a coupon at Joann Fabrics and I had the acrylics. Total cost $7.80.
