Week 2 | Guest Bathroom Refresh {Primp and Pamper Bathroom Challenge}

Hi and welcome to Week 2 of the Primp & Pamper Bathroom Refresh Challenge! (And whoa how did an entire week already come and go?) If you missed the kick off of the challenge last week, I have joined a group to do a bathroom challenge where a group of bloggers are giving our bathrooms a refresh in four weeks. I decided to go with our guest bathroom for this challenge.  

This was my vision for the bathroom, so let’s see how much I was able to accomplish this week: 

1. The biggest update for this week is that the green walls are GONE and have been replaced with a fresh coat of white paint. And surprise- the ceiling is pale blue.  YAY! I love the subtle “haint” blue on the ceiling. (and if you want to know why southerners refer to this as “haint” blue, click here)

For the walls I used Benjamin Moore White Dove. This is a really pretty white, although I will say in some lighting it is reading a little cream. The ceiling is Sherwin William’s Palladian Blue at around 75 percent strength. This is my favorite pale aqua blue- we used it in the last house in the nursery and basement playroom. Since I had some on hand, I just had my painter add some white paint (approx 75% blue/25% white ratio) to cut it down to a lighter more subtle version of the Palladian Blue. 

2. The next update is that the new rug is in! A huge thanks to Rugs USA for partnering with us on the challenge. They had SO many options to choose from and I went with the Jubilee Solid Braided Rug in Salt & Pepper. This is technically an indoor/outdoor rug so I think it will work well in the bathroom. I have plans to add a few more black pieces to the space and I always think a few black touches help ground a room. 

 

3. The next update is the hardware. I was so excited to order new hardware from our Primp & Pampper hardware partner Liberty Hardware, but sadly I didn’t realize that my hardware was a custom size. (insert alllllll of the sad faces)  So I had to improvise and gave my existing hardware a coat of Gold Leaf Rub ‘n Buff. So far, it is working but I think it all needs a second coat to get a little better coverage… so more to come on this. 

4. Next and final update is a fun new vanity chair. I had big plans to recover an old bench I had with some botanical fabric but when I stumbled upon this pretty little thing at Homegoods it hopped right in my cart. I did have my heart set on that floral fabric but perhaps I can incorporate it into the guest bedroom instead. 

Allrighty! That does it for week 2 updates. When I started the challenge, I made my to – do list of 10 things so knocking out 4 in one week feels pretty good. But with only two weeks left until the reveal I still have a lot of items on my punch list so I better keep plugging along. Next on my list is getting the art and window treatment sorted out.
