When we were building the house we chose to have it all painted one color for budget reasons. I told my husband from the get-go however that the downstairs powder room was getting painted first but here we are three months after moving in and I still had not painted anything. When I was ordering the Master bedroom “makeover” paint from Benjamin Moore I figured I should just go ahead and get paint for the powder room as well. I picked out Shaker Gray.
Pretty right?
Here is the downstairs powder room before:
And here is the powder room with its new look!
Please excuse my pictures, even with all my new “manual” skills with my camera it is crazy hard to get a good pic in a tiny interior space!
I am head over heels in love with the new color-the space was so blah before and now it has the contrast I was looking for. What do you think? What color is your powder room?
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Melissa…I just posted about my own bathroom remodels today too! I used a similar gray/blue color in my Boys Bathroom see post here

It has been several years and I still love it. Love the contrast of your paint with the white sink and wood floor in your powder room!
Beautiful Melissa! Love the Gray!!
It’s amazing what a little paint can do! It looks fantastic! We’re renting, so no painting for us. Someday I’ll own a home again and get to do all these fun things you are doing. =0)
My entire home needed new paint because it was painted in “array of hershey” chocolate.I was really leaning to gray but I was just not that brave. I Love your gray color!!!
