This weekend we also decided to repaint our bathroom. We wanted a different, bolder color since it is a small space. Drake knows I LOVE pistachio green, light yellows and the aqua from Martha Stewart. Knowing this, he found a blog where the lady also loves the same aqua color as I do. This is one of my new favorite blogs. I like her style and how she incorporates aqua into her design. Drake sent me a link to her post about Vintage Map from Martha Stewart...I fell in love with this color. Now I already had a few kitchen supplies (cake stand and hand towels) that are in this color. I was so excited that he actually suggested this color for the bathroom.

So after purchasing paint and supplies from Lowe's, I came home and got right to work. I knew it might be a little hard to paint because of the small spaces and the HUGE mirror (that I don't particularly like) that was in my way. It wasn't too bad. Drake had to come and help me with the ceiling edges. We applied two coats of paint. (We used Valspar Premium in eggshell from Lowe's)

While waiting for the paint to completely dry, Drake and I went to a few stores to find some things for the freshly painted bathroom. Here is what we found...

-white shower curtain and white bath mat from Kholes (50% off each)...we decided white would be a nice complementary color and we were going for a beachy (without being too tacky) theme

-hand towel rack, towel rack, soap holder, white picture frame and bath caddy from TJ MAXX

- white shelf and new faucet from Lowe's

-soap (clearance) and coral sculpture at Pier 1

-hand towels from Bed Bath & Beyond (50% off)

-white sea urchin votive (on clearance for $1!) at Target

The only thing we are waiting on are our new sea life prints from younghouselove. I can't wait to get them! I think they will look great in the bathroom.

Overall, we did a great job finding some great deals. It was a good weekend project. The bedroom may be our next painting job...we will see. Here are a few pictures of the bathroom. I will post some close ups of some of the items in another post.

*The color looks light blue in the picture but it is more bold...slightly brighter. It is called Vintage Map from Martha Stewart.
