who said brighter means lighter?

This was our bathroom soon after we moved into the house...bland, beige, boring. Call me crazy but I have always wanted a blue bathroom and even though this one is small in size the light countertop, and large vanity lended the room for a darker hue...at least I think so :) Anyway I simply painted the cabinets a dark brown (kept the same hardware) and went with a dark grey blue for the walls. I love the result. Clean and bright. Simple., but so much more interesting. I'm linking this post up to http://domestically-speaking.blogspot.com for her Power of Paint Party. So go check it out to see what others have done with paint!

Ooh!

I've been thinking of a color similar to this grey blue you speak of in my own bathroom...

maybe you've encouraged me to go for it!
