As promised yesterday, a few snapshots of my newly blackened bathroom.
First, in Instagram...
And then the regular shots...
First, in Instagram...
And then the regular shots...
In my perfect world, it would be wallpapered instead of painted but for now, the black is making me happy.
I still have a few little things to do/buy...a little rug is first on the list...would LOVE a pinkish Persian.
I also want to remove the towel bar above the toilet so I can plant a fabulous piece of art there...priorities;)
And I MUST replace the really ugly light that's presently above the mirror...in a perfect world, I'll have a pair of sconces on either side of the mirror.
Oh and I need new hardware on the vanity...the ones that are there now don't have long enough posts so they actually completely don't work.
So yes...still a little bucket list of things to do but for now, it's black and I like it.
Painting bathrooms in noir goodness is a perfect way to try out dark walls, if you're a little chicken to do it elsewhere...they're small rooms and easy to paint over if you don't like.
For some added inspiration, a few gorgeous blackened bathrooms from the interwebs...
I love all the layering in each of these spaces and I'd love to plaster some b/w photography all over the walls of mine.
Add it to the list...the VERY long list;)
Happy weekend lovers.

It is looking gorgeous!!! Take care, Caroline
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it! I wouldn't have ever thought of painting (or wallpapering) a bathroom black but does it ever look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI completely approve of the black! Its great in a small space like this. I'm sitting here wondering how you do it...How do you find the time??
ReplyDeleteI adore it!!! I've been trying to talk my Mom into painting her powder room and wonderfully rich, dark colour.... I think my father is the harder sell. We just don't have a bathroom I want to paint dark, maybe in our next home?
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely fabulous! You've done such an amazing job!
ReplyDeleteI love the black, it is so rich looking & I have no doubt that it will be totally fab once you knock those other item off your list! A few month ago I painted my powder room with some high gloss black, what a difference it makes, high impact for little price.
ReplyDeleteYour bathroom is so gorgeous as is already Christine! So glam!! I love your mirror and the faucet! Where is the faucet from?
ReplyDeleteLove wallpaper in bathroom as well. I will paperback fabric one day in my future powder room. Love the crystal lake by Robert Allen!
fabulous!! love the peacock print, love the mirror, well, love it all. Question: where or where did you find Mrs Meyers in Canada (or did you order it from US?). I've been searching high and low and no luckola.
ReplyDeleteA pinkish Persian you say? Here's a GORGEOUS one from Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/75702137/coral-handmade-vintage-persian-rug
ReplyDeleteNot sure what the size that your bathroom is but that rug is on the smaller side, so it might just be perfect! It's so pretty!!

OMG I am dying for 2 reasons! 1 your space looks delish and uber chic <3 and 2 because that first pic is the exact inspiration I used for my hall powder room. Inky navy walls...glossy of course. Marble top...coming next week! It's my screen saver at this very moment! Ha to funny!
ReplyDeletedrama baby. love it! how can you not feel glam in that bathroom.
ReplyDeleteTotally LOVE it!! It's amazing how painting a little space completely changes it!! Now I'm thinking about how to change my powder room off my kitchen (although I totally hate that it's there) I wish I had a bit more of a budget to afford marble. Oh those grains... They just make me drool. I'm insanely jealous.
ReplyDeleteMuch Love,
Trissta
That Miles Redd bathroom is one of my all time favorites...and the venetian mirror/black combo is so glam!!! Do you think black hides fingerprints??? 'Cause that's the line I'm gonna use to get the hubby to agree to painting our bathroom black (c:
ReplyDeletei love it!! a lot.
ReplyDeleteI love this...my daughters doing a similar look with dark navy! So dramatic and inspiring!
ReplyDeleteWonderful mirror :)

Wow!!! I think the space turned out amazing!! This is a great example of a dark color not necessarily making a room look smaller...love the "extra little touches" too!
ReplyDeleteYour Daily Inspiration of Amazing Things!
Love the colour the layering the mirror especially great job Christine
ReplyDeleteMy bathroom is black too -- I don't mean the paint colour, it's just REALLY dirty. Sigh, my kingdom for a housekeeper... Looks fantastic Christine!! You are amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! look really great! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE black and white together....so chic!!! I would love to try that color in my bedroom.

It looks awesome. I've been wanting to do the same but just havent gotten around to it....love love love it!!
ReplyDeletelooks fab! i'm thinking of something similar for our powder room...would LOVE wallpaper, but the vanity needs to come out to make room for the perfect pedestal sink, so a rich, dark color will suit for the time-being. black is definitely a contender, especially after seeing this! ox
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! Love how dramatic it is and how the black is not as overpowering as you'd think. Just painted my office a dark grey and I'm LOVING it!
ReplyDeleteI honestly have never seen a more chic, gorgeous black bathroom before! Wow! Love love it!!
ReplyDeleteYou have such exquisite taste... I absolutely adore your photos!

wow, so beautiful and glamorous!!!! xox
ReplyDeleteLove it all. Love the peacock print and the chrome floor stand. I have the very same House Beautiful front and center in my foyer. Not sure if you follow me on Pinterest, but what I am dying for is this "Lush" wallpaper by Mary Kysar.. I have white penny tile now with white bead board... was thinking of painting the top rim a high gloss black then going with this.. tho will prob just end up painting as well! Rome wasn't built in a day!
ReplyDeleteBravo! It is so very lovely and I wouldn't expect anything less based on what I have seen of your home so far. Please keep continuing to post! xx
ReplyDeleteShannon

So glamorous! I love that second Pinterest photo. It's so classic, surprisingly bright, and homey. Now you've got me thinking!

So pretty! I love the mirror and the black walls! I have been thinking about painting my bathroom a dark navy (I too, would prefer wallpaper), but I am a little scared of dark colors. This gave me a lot of confidence to go ahead with it!
ReplyDeleteYour bathroom looks beautiful! I really really Love that venice mirror - Gorgeous! =)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!

Love it!! I even showed it to J (he's sitting right next to me) and thanks to you, I think he's officially on board the black powder room train.
ReplyDeleteAgghghg!! I am obsessed!!! I love a black room..especially a small one like a bathroom and I LOVE that venetian mirror!!! Great job!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove how it turned out! So luxe and any art you put in it will really pop!

ReplyDeleteLOVE the glam black!
ReplyDeleteChristine - I LOVE your vanity! You have some serious style, lady!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely bathroom! XO
ReplyDeleteChristine, loving the black bathroom..and that beautiful peacock print/painting? Stunning!! I can't wait to see more..black is so dramatic and elegant. A bit behind on my blog visits, just trying to squeeze them in when I can:)
ReplyDeleteI love the black walls. Especially with your beautiful marble top sink!
ReplyDeleteNothing beats a black bathroom (well, maybe wallpaper, but black is the next best thing). Yours is absolutely gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! Way to take a chance with the black... it most definitely paid off! PRETTY! PRETTY! ps- a pinky persion would totally finish the space! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!!! It looks sooo stylish - and expensive! Literally amazing, this has just been bookmarked for my own bathroom!

LOVE....I'm actually hoping to paint my bathroom black this weekend.... like you I'd like to wallpaper but its not going to happen as of now so black seemed 2nd best. I'm a terrible painter so this could be disasterous and I'm almost certain I'll have to call in a professional to fix it but at least if I start it it will get finished ;) Your bathroom looks great. What kind of finish did you use? No windows in my bathroom.

I precisely wanted to thank you so much again. I am not sure the things that I would have handled without the type of tactics shown by you concerning such question. It had become a distressing setting for me, nevertheless coming across your specialized approach you dealt with that forced me to weep with gladness. Now i'm happier for this support and as well , believe you really know what an amazing job that you're providing training people with the aid of your web blog. Most probably you have never got to know any of us.
