Week two of bathroom remodel, concluded. Well, almost. Antony's going to come back tomorrow morning and do the grout. But not until 10! A positive lie-in luxury compared to the 7:30am he's shown up at other mornings. We have insulation stuffed between the two bathrooms, the walls and ceiling are textured, the floor done in black and white 1" hex tiles, and the tub and shower surrounded by white subway tiles.

So now it's time to do a bit of work of our own. Namely, painting!

Greenwood, our house, hasn't much in the way of south-facing windows, so we consciously chose to go with white ceilings and pastel walls throughout to retain as much light as possible. Our bedroom is a pale blue that feels like sleeping in the sky. Other rooms are yellow (Squiddle's bedroom), green (office), turquoise (other bathroom), "orange sparkle" (living room), and the hallway is a different blue from our bedroom.

Since the accent tile for the shower enclosure is blue/green, I was thinking something in that colorway, but at Lowe's last night, Wonderful Husband pulled a pale beige card which has rapidly grown on me. "Luxury Linen" seems like our winner!

(Whenever we do a much-needed aesthetic upgrade on the laundry room, I want purple there. Lavendar for the lavendaria! And white beadboard.)
