And it's inspiring me to paint this room. I kept checking it out all weekend, trying for inspiration. The current white is a bit stark. Gray could be an elegant choice - and it certainly would be safe. But I'm not one for safe paint choices. And anyway, I kept coming back to lavender.
Lavender? Really, Debbie? Wouldn't it look like rainbow sherbet? Or a kid's bathroom? Possibly, but the heart wants what the heart wants. So yesterday I took the package for the curtain (made out of the same peach cotton as the top row with ruffles of the darker pink and lighter purple - so cute!) to Home Depot and bought a gallon of Behr in Sweet Petal. It's on the pink side of lavender and has just a touch of gray in it. I think it will be perfect.
Don't believe me? Check out these pictures I grabbed from Pinterest:
Think I'll want to update some of the accessories in this room once the lavender is actually on the walls so it may be a while before you see the finished product, but I'm pretty excited to get started!

Debbie, my grandmother's bathroom (in her house that was built in the 1960s) is lavender! I mean, really lavender! The tiles, toilet, bathtub, and sinks are all a pretty shade of lavender! I adore that bathroom, maybe because of the memories but I really do like the shade.
I looked for pictures of lavender bathrooms and saw many that had the lavender tiles and fixtures - they are really pretty! I would definitely be happy with a room like that.
I LOVE the idea of lavender!
