Love the story of this bathroom almost as much as the bathroom itself! You totally nailed the wall color!

I painted a pair of nightstands in a bright green just like the first image and they make me very happy.

Those stools are interesting...can't decide if I love 'em or hate 'em.

I did a little time lapse video of hanging a gallery wall for a friend. It's definitely an undertaking, but I love the look when it's all said and done!

I love these references and the tip about the dark stain, Robotropolis!
I've painted a few pieces, but am happiest with how my bright green campaign nightstands turned out!

I am loving green! Crate & Barrel has a nice set of candlesticks in varied shades of green out now. I'm thinking of borrowing that scheme for my deck to match the leaves on the trees. Here's some more green inspiration:

Chip It is hands-down my favorite of the color matching apps. I think it's a blast and even got a little carried away with it in a blog post:

Thanks, Sherwin Williams!

We inherited a seafoam green 50s-era tile bathroom. We painted the walls a dark gray and it actually makes the room work! There are WAY worse tile colors we could have gotten.

I love 'em! I have some my great grandfather painted (and signed on the back) in our guest room. You can see em here:

We have the CB2 pendant hanging over our kitchen island. It was a beast to get to hang straight, but I love how it looks and the price was right.

I've also drooled over that marble island.

Our dining room is pink and purple. It's definitely a break from the norm, but we love it.

That first painting would look fab in it!

I have a fun one from Society 6 called "Let's all go and have breakfast." It makes me smile.

Spring Fling: Flirt with Pink

I've used pink liberally in our dining room, most notably in satin curtains from Paris. My hubs likes it - he's an Artist/Art DIrector so he's got an appreciation for all colors. I'm lucky that way. You can see it here:

We have a teeny master bath, but I'm determined to get a double sink in there. I'm praying Ikea doesn't discontinue the Odensvik sink before we get around to remodeling!

To answer a few questions:
The Pac Man pillows are from a store called Homegrown in Decatur, GA. The paint color is Dolphin Fin by Behr. And the white bolster is from Target, several years ago. I think it is a bit longer than the width of a twin bed, however.

Thanks again for the great feedback!

Thanks, everyone for the great comments! It's a really fun space, I'm glad you like it!

@JCAP4203, do you mean the gray euro sham? I'm not totally sure what you're referring to, but that one is a Nicole Miller sham from the Bed Bath and Beyond clearance rack. The other gray sham is from West Elm. The white roll pillow is from Target, as are the yellow sheets.

Where To Find Don Draper's Blue Swag Light? Good Questions

We painted our guest room a dark navy. The room gets a lot of natural light, so it's still bright during the day.

And we have plates in our bedroom too, though not directly over the bed. It is a little unexpected, but I love looking at them. It's kinda like a mobile for grown-ups. :)
