Painting master bath

I was painting a lot of light colors in other rooms to maximize the light, but wanted the master bath to be a really dark, almost evergreen, green with the snow-white trim and shower.

I once again tried the Clark + Kensington in Carriage Hill green after doing some drywall repairs and priming those spots.

I don’t want to minimize painting. You have to remove all the electrical plates, the towel bars, toilet tissue holders, the bathroom mirrors. You have to tape all the woodwork and counters. Groan — you have to paint around the toilet.  Painting a large room is easier than the small confines of the normal bathroom, But the results are worth it.

 The Clark + Kensington paint went on nicely, but I did need to touch up with a light second coat since the gold showed through in spots. No big deal — it only took a few minutes.

The finishing touches included finding a shower curtain that would go with the paint and towels and also a towel rack that would hold the towels near the shower so I could reach them. I decided on a three arm rack that would also hold an additional hand towel/wash cloth set. I’m happy with the results — especially when comparing to the first pic in this post!
