Painting the New House: Basement Bathroom

The last room we painted right after moving in was the new bathroom in the basement. The previous owners had finished most of the basement - except the bathroom. So when we had our contractor working on adding a few walls to create a studio for me, a guest room, and a pantry space, we also had him finish the bathroom. He added flooring, put in a toilet, corner shower, and vanity/counter, and added a light fixture. After we moved in, we then painted the bathroom the same purple we used in our upstairs hall bathroom in our old house ("Magic Scent"). Once the paint was dry, we picked out and installed a towel bar, a towel ring, a mirror, and a shelf for extra towels.

Here's what it looked like after the contractor was finished:

And here is the bathroom with the finished walls:

Finally, here it is with the finishing touches installed, and towels hung:

I painted the abstract purple-and-gray set of artwork in the white frame hanging above the toilet, to go in our new purple bathroom in our old house once that bathroom was remodeled. It's one of the reasons we chose the same purple for the bathroom here - so we could reuse that artwork, and because we already had the purple bathroom rugs and towels to match. Plus - I just really like the color. :)
