Downstairs bathroom: (In Progress) paint, art and a cornice

Last we saw the downstairs bathroom, it was beige with holes in the ceiling and I was planning on putting a pink/red/purple combo in there.


Then I changed my mind.  Sadly, you can barely tell that the below picture is a different color than the above.  The above picture is an ugly beige; in the below picture the bathroom is painted Valspar's Pink Wink, a very pretty pale blush color.


I bought a chiang mai dragon remnant on ebay and framed it in gold bamboo frames I thrifted a few years ago.



I originally tried to make the remnant into a cornice, but it didn't work out.  So I bought some pink/orange/green fabric and trimmed it with some greek key trim. I asked on instagram which fabric I should use and nobody picked this one, but the Mister liked it, so that's what we went with.


The other side of the room is not going so well; we'll discuss that tomorrow.

  1. Great colors! I love the fabric choice and that green mirror is great! That chiang mai dragon fabric is still one of my favorites.
