The Reveal
Some of you may recall my previous post where I was in the process of selecting a color for our Master Bathroom, using Glidden® Paint. Well, this is it, today is the day that I get to reveal our newly painted and decorated Master Bath!

I took a photo at night too, so that you could see how pretty the curtains look. It’s so hard to photograph them with the light coming in behind them. The curtains tie in the blue from the Master Bedroom, to give a more cohesive look to the whole space, without having to paint both rooms blue.
I’m so pleased with the light and airy feel of the room. If you notice the ceiling above, that was the original color of the walls. I like the contrast of the lighter color of the vaulted ceilings against the creamier tan color of the walls.
This is my husband’s sink. We purchased new light fixtures and my stepson installed them for us.
This is my sink. I also added faux orchids on both sides of the room. I could do with a few more accessories, but that’s okay, I can take my time doing that.
I found a sweet little Pillow with some Paisley embroidery, to accent the Iron Garden Chair in the corner.
Selecting the Perfect Color
I went with Glidden Duo™ Paint, which is Paint and Primer all together in one can. Yay! I used Eggshell so that my walls will have a slight sheen and be easier to clean than with a flat paint. I purchased my paint at Home Depot, but you can also find Glidden® paint at Walmart and other fine retailers.
The Before
This was my bathroom before. Just sort of blah with its builder’s beige paint.
It’s amazing what a difference a simple thing like paint can make to a home, and trust me it is simple, everyone can paint. You can totally do this too! If you’re at all scared, use the Glidden paint’s color tools like I did, they really do take a lot of the guesswork out of the process.
The vaulted ceilings really stand out now and the room is so serene and lovely. I just need to hem those curtains now, or raise the curtain rod, I haven’t decided which way to go on that yet! I hope you enjoyed this reveal!

I would love to repaint my home office. It used to be my little sister’s bedroom, so it’s turquoise and brown right now and so dark. I’ll be running my home based business out of the office so I want something light and airy, like a white with a blue tint or a very light blue. I’m trying to save my money to get ready to redo it!
Laura says
It’s amazing how just a few simple changes make over a room! I love your tub btw! Looks very relaxing! I would love to repaint our living-room / dining-room area – it is a very pale beige-ish yellow/white – horrible color! Makes everything and everyone just look awful & sick!
Shirley Smith says
Very nice, that’s the one I thought you might go with. It’s similar to mine ! Next room to tackle………my kitchen !! Right now it’s full of wallpaper (not our thing!!!).
Carla Rigel says
That looks great. I would like to add some character to my bathroom!
Vera M Riddle says
Love this color. My father always wanted to go with Oriental Flesh for almost every room he painted! It was much the same, and did compliment almost everything my Mom chose to accessorize with. I would love to paint den. Hopefully someday. Smiles!
Jessica To says
I really want to paint my dining room!
Laura Strack says
Looking pretty, Karen! Painting the bathroom always seems to make everything feel cleaner. Love the Whispering Wheat paint choice. I’m looking forward to some gorgeous bathroom decor projects, very soon!

Crazy about paint and what it can do for a room…. LOVE your new color. I’ve used a similar color in the past and in the gloomy, dark Pacific Northwest it always looked sunny… ENJOY!
Blessings,
Spencer

I love your new bathroom. I need to paint every room in my house. I’d probably start with the kitchen. Your colors are so pretty. Thank you for the giveaway.
