New paint/updates for guest bath

This blog is actually overdue. We repainted our hall bath, added new baseboards, door trim and crown before we had family/friends over for Christmas (we actually did it the week before over a couple of days). We thought that the original color in there was a little too gold, and decided something a bit more neutral would fit better (this is the only room in our house a tan/khaki color....cause lets face it, I love color!!). Here is what the OLD color looked like:
Here is the new color:
By the sink/cabinets:
Art above toilet:
New base:
That's about it. Sorry it's not extreme, lol. Now all that's left to do inside is to paint the two spare rooms (after we put up sheet rock over the tile ceilings), do all of the trim in there, and install our new interior doors which I believe we decided to paint black. If you can't imagine what black interior doors look like, here is a pic:
This is actually a suggestion by realtors and interior designers. They say it really adds some "oomph" to your house, AND when you turn around to sell, most people looking at buying aren't going to remember that house with white doors....they're going to remember the house with black doors.
