bathroom color update

Of our DIY home renovations, I'm happiest with and most proud of our work on the master bathroom. (See the full set of before and after pics here.) And now having lived with it for a little while, I can say that it's completely functional, which is great (and a relief!). But Mark, perhaps rightly, wants it to be a little more colorful.

The bathroom post-renovation, all in shades of white, grey and beige

A little while back, I tried out some different color hand towels to spruce it up a bit, but as several readers and Mark all noted, my "colors" were really just variations on beige and grey. Sadly, I have to admit that you were all right.

What I tried to pass off as "green" last time

With my recent color updates throughout the condo, I finally mustered up enough courage to try some real color. And so I present our latest color update, the lime green and turquoise bathroom accents.

Maybe over time, we'll collect a few more little accents to make the color look like more than just a token attempt (let's be honest... it is a token attempt). But for now, I can live with this.

The blue and green tie in loosely with the rest of our home's color palette, and who doesn't love those little alligator logos on the bargain-priced $7 Izod hand towels from HomeGoods? The blue bottle which will soon hold our mouthwash was only $4, also at HomeGoods.

So our little "transformation" was a mere $32 plus tax. Not bad. And if tomorrow I decide that I only want the green towels, or only the blue, relegating the other set to the linen closet for all eternity, it won't have been a lot of wasted money.
