My weekend involved lots of this . . .

And our powder room now looks like this . . .

. . . instead of this!

Although the light blue walls were pretty I had gotten very tired of them – they felt kind of wimpy to me and I really wanted something more exciting!  This slate blue color is exactly what I wanted (although getting there wasn’t so pretty – more on that disaster tomorrow!).

This powder room is impossible to photograph since it’s tiny and the only light is from the sconces – so sorry for the somewhat crazy photos (for this photo above I dragged two lamps into the hallway so you could actually see the sconces).

But I absolutely love how the color turned out – to me it feels a little more dramatic, sophisticated, and much more interesting.  I ordered a print for above the toilet that I’ve been lusting after forever – I’ll post updated pics once it arrives!

And for you curious folks the paint color is Regatta Bay (550F-6) by Behr, and I used their Premium Plus Ultra Paint & Primer in One in the interior flat enamel.
