Our {Retro} Main Bathroom

I’ve been itching to do something creative.  There’s lots of options all around, but lately my thoughts have been leaning toward our main bathroom.

I haven’t spent a whole lot of time fixing the little place up.

Well, I did at one point try to do a little sompin’ sompin’ ~ and it turned out to be quite traumatic.

I learned first hand that oil and water just don’t mix.  It all began when I tried to paint chocolate brown {latex} paint over what turned out to be oil-based mint green.  The resulting “chocolate mint” disaster on the walls was the one and only time I cried actual tears over a decorating disaster.  {And why was I trying to paint it chocolate brown anyway?  It looked horrible!}  The amount of work it took to fix that “oops” has made me beyond cautious in changing anything in here ~

~ until now.

I think it’s time to try.

I haven’t decided yet what to do.  Perhaps something a little more “beach cottage” and less “Retro 70’s”.  Perhaps some of you are dealing with the same dilemmas in your own home.

For now, I’m starting the process by gathering up lots of inspiration pictures.

I’ll start showing you them tomorrow.

See you then!
