But, the tub is pink.....

So let's deal with what you can do when you have oddly colored appliances or fixtures.
Sadly, there was a time in our culture when buying avocado, salmon pink, or harvest gold appliances or fixtures was an okay thing to do. Really, it was not punishable at all!
Shocking, I know.
So, now we have to learn how to decorate around these delightfully erm, colorful items.

Behold! Pink tub.
Which, is actually a step up from my last tub...it was avocado green. Progress!

So, let's start with a shower curtain. The pink tub is staying.  Let's accent it. The sheers are old lace curtains, which were already weighted at the bottom, score. The liner is just a cheapy one from any store. So we've got a start.

The sink vanity already had an older style to it, the knobs were traditional H and C. Cute. So vintage it is.
With a black rug, we have a vintage Parisian look going on.

So the hardware for the towel holders are actually vintage. Vintage JC Penney, but it fit the theme perfectly.
The penguin is there because my children broke the "nice" soap dispenser. But, the colors still match. ;)

So now we have a little cute shelf, with a collection of items that will highlight the vintage look and the color scheme.
With a few nice prints on the walls, I made that tub work. It's actually starting to grow on me.

For those with other colored fixtures...some color suggestions.

For the Harvest Gold, think Tuscany, or Morocco.
Rich browns, greens, even purples and reds for Tuscany.
For a more Moroccan theme, go with bright colors. Find interesting tiles to add to a bathroom. A Moroccan theme would also work with avocado green.

For Avocado Green, think woods or nature themes.
Avocado lends itself well to being a good background color for a nature theme.
As stated before, a Moroccan theme would also work well with the avocado green.




Paint Project!

The family picture tree. I really wanted one of these when we moved in, but I didn't think I had the ability to make one. Turns out I did!

It was actually far simpler than I thought it would be.

The entire tree was created with paint tape. This is after the first coat.


Until next time! :)
