I've had keys to the New Digs for a week now, but haven't accomplished much more than leaving an empty wine bottle on the counter. So, today, on my half-day off, I took the first step and chose a paint for the bathroom. I'm leaving the rest of the place (with the exception perhaps of one wall of the bedroom) the creamy white it came in because A) I'm lazy and B) with curved wall transitions, where would the paint stop and start? The entire apartment would have to be painted the same color and who can decide which color? The thought of all that painting..well, it's exhausting and no fun whatsoever.
The bathroom has exactly 5 square feet of paintable wall, the remaining wall surface being all tile. Perfect. This I can handle. I decided on a delicious grey-blue-green called Steamer, from Devine Paint. It looks so tranquil, spa-like...and familiar.
...turn's out it's mom's favorite color. I'll post photos of her Chicago living room later..it's exactly the same shade.
