This is what our upstairs bathroom looked like when we moved in. The colors fit in with the colors throughout the house (i.e. Easter egg).

And here it is now. The paint is Glidden Sea Drops (same as family room, kitchen, and downstairs bath), with Glidden Iced Cilantro on the ceiling in the inner room. The shower curtain is from Bed Bath & Beyond on clearance. The rugs and melamine plate (art) are also from BB&B.

One thing I don’t like about this bathroom is how the doors are set up (you’ll notice there are no doors in the after pictures — I guess it’s not quite finished). As you can see, it’s really split into two rooms: the outer bathroom with the two sinks and vanities on opposite walls, and the inner bathroom with the shower and toilet. With the inner bathroom it is not such a big deal, but for the outer bathroom, if the door is open, access to one of the sinks is virtually nonexistent.
I was thinking pocket doors would be perfect here. However, for us amatuers it’s a pretty involved project, and because there are light switches and electrical outlets on both sides of the doorframes, it would have been a serious undertaking. I was thinking maybe leave the inner door as-is and hang a curtain over the outer door that can be closed for privacy, but when drawn to the side still allows for space and access to both sinks. Thoughts?
