The color combinations look great but there is some confusion about painting brick:

Brick is a permeable material that needs to breath. When one side is coated with a non-permeable medium (like latex paint) you trap naturally-occurring water molecules, which can cause efflorescence (that flaky white stuff), spauling and mold.

There are lime-based paints that are appropriate for painting brick that prevent moisture trapping. Here's a good resource for more info: http://www.oldlouisville.com/circa1900/brick-structures.htm

It's amazing what re-caulking can do for a grungy bathroom. Cheap, easy and not permanent.

I think you should do a floor reading lamp that sits between the chair, table and radiator and place a small plant on the table with books/mags. It's a sweet, simple table that I think would look best if kept clean and uncluttered- a reading lamp there might be too obstructive.

This is perfect. I've been trying to figure a way to use the vertical space on my fireescape- a little chicken wire and I'll almost have a full garden. Thanks!
