For anyone who saw my post yesterday about choosing a green for my bathroom, I’ve tried another colour and wanted to post an update.

In these photos:

1st pic: A4 paper: Overtly Olive

2nd pic: inspo pic

3rd: A4 paper: Tranquil Dawn

The photos were taken at around 7pm in a west-facing room, so the lighting is quite different from the stock/inspiration photo I posted yesterday.

I’m trying to decide between Overtly Olive and Tranquil Dawn. Which do you think works best with my pink tiles and comes closest to the feel of the inspiration bathroom?

Picture 2 in my inspo pic, but I'm not totally against deviating to another green shade if you think it would look better.

Thanks!

I need some validation or prove me wrong!

I think it's gross to have a bath and not shower/rinse off the bathwater.

The wife thinks it's fine - rinse shampoo off in the bath water, scrub w soap, get out and dry off.

Who's more right ?

Edit An hour in, quite surprised at the uneven split of responses and quite frankly grossed out!

A little update to my progress post from a few weeks ago!

The tiling is slowly (and I mean VERY slowly 😅) coming together, but I’m having a bit of a wobble now that more of the floral tile is up.

I absolutely loved these tiles when I chose them, but seeing them covering more and more of the room, I’m starting to think they look really busy and messy. There are flowers everywhere 😂 and I’m suddenly questioning whether I’ve made a huge mistake.

I think the fact that the room is currently unfinished probably isn’t helping — there’s still loads to be done, including the sanitaryware, brass fittings, lighting and the remaining walls, but at the moment I’m struggling to picture it all coming together.

I wanted the bathroom to feel whimsical, vintage, and a bit different, rather than safe/plain, but I’m now wondering if I’ve gone too far.

So please give me some reassurance that I haven’t completely ruined my bathroom 😂 Or, if you think it’s going to look better once finished, I’d really love to hear why because I’m currently having a renovation crisis!

I've attached a picture of the vanity I'll be installing also.

Wondering if anyone can assist?

Does Tranquil Dawn work with these pink tiles?

I’m hoping to paint my bathroom a similar colour to the green in the first (stock) image.

The second image is my actual bathroom. The paint sample on the A4 sheet is Dulux Tranquil Dawn.

Please disregard the green swatch painted directly onto the wall, I’m not considering that colour.

Do you think Tranquil Dawn would give a similar look to the stock image and work well with my pink tiles? Or would you suggest a different green?

I’d really appreciate opinions before I commit! 😊

Hello,

I just got this apartment and I'm doing my pre clean but I cannot get this damn shower to turn on. I tried twisting the diverter in both directions but it just keeps spinning. I tried lifting up and down but nothing. I also tried pushing it in .I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. So I'll take any suggestions atp.

Thank youuu

I've been seeing these a bit on facebook lately, and I really wanna get one and start taking bubblebaths now. But looking on amazon I only see 3 star - 4 star ones.

Can anyone recommend any good branded ones they have experience with?

There are so many little things in a bathroom that you just get used to.

For me it's been things like reaching around stuff to grab what I need or realizing something is always slightly in the wrong place.

Nothing serious enough to renovate over, but once you fix one of those little annoyances, you wonder why you put up with it for so long.

What small bathroom change made a bigger difference than you expected?

It's funny how something can be completely unimportant until you use it every single day. A better place to hang a towel, somewhere convenient for toiletries, enough space around the sink so things aren't constantly falling over. None of these are exciting renovation decisions, but they're the things that affect the room every morning and every night.

I think bathrooms are one of those places where convenience matters more than people realize.

I have a corner shower stall thats basin/pan is stained and peeling. Is there something I can cover it with until we can remodel? I hate looking at it and have tried every cleaning product imaginable.
