It’s Just Paint

I’ve always wanted a yellow bathroom - so when we moved into this house and the master bathroom had yellow paint, I was very happy It wasn’t the exact color of yellow I would have chosen, but it was yellow, so I dealt with it. Almost 7 years later, I want to change it. I decided I’d like some blue color . . . not regular blue . . . but this bluish grey color. So I got some and put it on the wall to see. It was unanimous - YUCK! I like the color, but it’s too dark and the room is too small for that color. I’ve got a HUGE window that lets lots of light in that I love, but I still think it’s too small for that dark color. So I got a lighter blue that would be more like light blue clouds. Better . . . but I wasn’t in love with it. I left it for a few weeks to see if it would grow on me . . . then decided that I probably did still want a yellow bathroom, just the color that I REALLY wanted, not the yucky dull goldish yellow they had chosen for me. So I went and got 3 yellow paint samples.

What did I end up with? Egg yolk, darker egg yolk, and a nicer mellower yellow that I like better than the others, but I’m not in love with any of it. Right now, this is what my wall looks like . . .

I don’t want a paler yellow - I want a bright color that makes me smile in the morning - like the sun My thoughts on the light blue were that it reminds me of water, which I REALLY miss here in CO - not much water around.

I’ve decided it will either be the light blue or the lighter yellow. And I’ll get a fun shower curtain with lots of color, like bright fun drawn flowers or some fun colorful design. I know - it’s a HUGE decision for a room that nobody but me sees . . . and nobody is in there more than 20 minutes a day. Anyone? Buehler? Buehler?
