  • I have a 1926 house and am in the process of updating a bathroom. Heart pine floor which is a medium brown with deep red in it. Original white clawfoot tub white pedestal sink and toilet. All fixtures are flat black. Ceiling is beadboard which will be painted. Good light coming through stained glass window which is clear textured glass with green and red in the center. Any suggestions for wall and trim color. I’m leaning toward a white. Thank you

    All the videos on bathroom colors are always cool colors like blue and grey. I want a bathroom to feel more like a spa so I prefer earthy and warm colors. It’s hard to find videos that don’t lean to the blue and grey and cool greens. Would love to see a video on spa-like earthy paint colors. I want to feel like I’m in the day spa of a resort in Bali! Or Sedona. Or Aspen.
  • This video is not only informative, but it's refreshing compared to all the noise on YouTube. Exactly the advise I was looking for. Well prepared and structured. Thank you for not shouting at us as many other content creators do. Curtis from Scotland.

    This is exactly the advice I needed for my re-do of a 6x5 windowless, low ceiling powder room. I probably wasted a little money buying paint samples and a lot of paint color peel off sheets before watching this, but I learned a little doing that too. Bottom line, i now know I need to wait until the new gray vanity I ordered is installed so I can really test out my various choices. Thanks!
  • @sunshinedaisy9879
    We painted our small bathroom ceiling and walls the same color and YES you are absolutely right, it does looks bigger!
  • I’m happy that you tube recommended your channel today - great information. Thank you!
  • @Donna-vh5ym
    I know this waz done 3 weeks ago, but I just found you and immediately subscribed. Ill be looking forward to your next ones, but this one helped tremendously
  • @FIONA21ful
    I have been painting my ceilings the same colour as my walls since i was a 16yr old teenager doing my first flat 40 yrs ago, not to make the place look bigger, although I appreciated the affect & the aesthetic in my smaĺl roomed flats..., however, I do it when possible simply because it saves all the tricky cutting in with another shade ! 😊
  • What an informative video. Thank you so much. Your channel recently showed-up and I've been watching you ever since. I have learned alot about colors, hues and values that I never knew existed plus I love your easy way of explaining everything! I'm a subscriber and I look forward to your next video. 🙋🏼‍♀️
  • @pjmlegrande
    Also, I’ll try your suggestion to carry the color up across ceiling. It’ll likely be a color in high 60, lo 70 LRV given the space. Probably gonna put in a couple of pot lights. Into the great unknown!
  • @Mr1fingersalute
    Great video and advice! I really appreciate your knowledge and way of explaining things, it’s very helpful. Now if I could just spend half as much time actually doing the work I need to do instead of watching videos….. I’d be done! Lol Great stuff, thank you!
  • @BonaFideWildLife
    I just put Agreeable Gray in my bathroom and love it! I'm nervous about painting the ceiling the same color though.
  • @roger12393
    Could you do a video on the best paint colors for kitchens? Loved this video. I have a small bathroom and this helped so much.
  • @sharonkearney9114
    Hello I’m in the UK and am not familiar with the paint brands. Do you know which Benjamin More fan deck would be the best to buy to see the colours?
  • Hi! Thank you for this video! Would you paint the ceiling the same sheen as the walls? Thanks!
  • @annbeck3966
    Thank you thank you thank you! I am moving into an old house that has a small upper bathroom, no window, and was resisting using white (love color). This was so helpful and encouraging! Question - it is under a steep peaked roof, should the "ceiling" - which is half the wall in part - be the same sheen/finish? It can be damp in the room so want to have a good hardness to the paint.
  • Trade, Winds is in my bedroom? It's absolutely gorgeous. And I have dark furniture it looks excellent
