I'm so happy with how this all turned out. The paint color I finally chose is called Elephant Tusk, only it was a little light, so I had Hirschfield's remix it darker for me. My trim color is called Muslin - Benjamin Moore color. It's a really subtle creamy tan, just different enough from cream to be noticeable but not too dark that I can't coordinate with anything.
It took forever to find two mirrors that I liked. After traipsing through every store I could think of, I finally found these at Home Goods. They had three left and one was damaged. Whew. Got them both for $60.
I'm still trying to decide if I need to do anything with the window or not. It is an upper level bathroom, so privacy isn't a real big issue, except that the window faces the road. Maybe shutters? Just a valance? Not sure yet, so I'm going to leave it as is.
We found the faucets at Costco.com and I think they were $89 each. I love how they look, but I'm not thrilled that they don't seem to extend over the sink far enough, so there's often a lot of water splashed onto the countertop. Actually I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it before but the vanity itself came from Costco too. The price was hard to beat and they had a coupon for $200 off on top of that! We smiled the whole way home.
The only thing left to do in this room is the above-mentioned shower curtain and I need to put a shelf and some hooks up in the cubby opposite the vanity. (It was supposed to have been a urinal, but after painting in a men's bathroom at a church and realizing that I would just be cleaning TWO things, I nixed that idea.) Then, we were going to put a closet in that space, but I failed to communicate that to my dad when he was helping us put up sheetrock - by the time I realized it, he had the space already done, so it stayed that way. Perhaps if I find a cute cupboard, I'll slide it into that nook. We'll see.
Feel good to finally have a full-size working bathroom. Now on to the bedrooms - flooring, trim and doors.
