Sunday Funday!

The 1st floor bathroom!   We've always had a full bathroom on the first floor, but with the addition we will be removing it completely (to create a hallway) and starting over in a new place.  Only differences.... it will be a bit bigger and there will not be a tub, just a shower. 

I did have a picture that inspired the color choices for this room....but of course I can't find it!  I can't remember if I saw it online or in one of my 100 magazines.   So you are going to have to use your imagination and see my vision!  ;o)

I want to do a chocolate brown/white/green combo.    I just want to show the colors together and a shower curtain was all I could find with them.....picture with white instead of cream.

I wanted to go with a darker floor to go off the hardwood that will be in the hallway.  I also wanted to take into consideration that this bathroom will be used a lot.  When the kids come in from outside, when we have guests and whenever we are downstairs (which is most of the day), so I wanted to go with a darker floor that doesn't show a ton of dirt....and I found the perfect tile at Wayne Tile.  It's made by LaFaenza and it's porcelain with a semi-matte finish.  The size is 13x13.    And will have a "coffee" colored grout.

In the shower and from the floor to halfway up the wall will be white 8 x 12 porcelain tiles.  There will be a boarder of glass mosaic tiles around the entire shower 3 rows wide.  I can't find a picture of the actual white tile, but the water glass mosaics are by SICIS.   I originally I liked the Nickle color which was more a grey/green, but I think I have since changed my mind and will be using "Spring".  This is still subject to change!  Ha Ha!

The toilet, shower and sink will all be white.....

The vanity itself, I am leaning toward a dark brown wood.  Something small and simple (haven't picked one out yet, but this is for idea's sake!) to keep some extra towels, soap, toilet paper in..and nothing too pricey for that bathroom.    The top will be white and I would do a large mirror (like below) and maybe some sconces on either side for light...as well as a regular light in the ceiling.

And painted with a very light green color like Benjamin Moore's "Crisp Green".

So that's what we have so far for the 1st floor bathroom......and end to Sunday Funday!   Hope everyone had a great weekend! 
  Goodnight!
