OK,

I'm thinking ahead here, as I'm still not done painting my bathroom cabinets. But I"m looking for accessories for this bathroom. Now, it is coordinating with my master bedroom of mushroom brown, aqua, and ivory. I have painted the walls aqua, the cabinet will be painted a mahogany brown. The towels I ordered are ivory with a mushroom brown modern style monogram.

I'm still trying to decide if I will go with two painted framed mirrors or two beveled mirrors, as I found beveled mirrors in the exact size at home depot for only $30 each! I want to bring in some shelves, and I'll prolly do a brown painted floating shelf above the tub where I'd like to put clear straight sided votives in a row. The style we're going for here is clean lines and contemporary, so I'm thinking of matching the chrome of the faucets and towel bars, glass, and the dark wood, the mushroom brown. And I thought of bringing in a splash of accent color--I think orange. I envision a modern glass vase with curvy orange tulips in between the sinks.

I need some ideas for the soap dishes and tumblers. I thought I need to contrast the bold aqua in there and saw some nice light brown ceramic but woven looking ones at lowes.

Anyway, I need some ideas.

Thanks! Smile

I have green/blue listerine in a glass fish shaped bottle on the counter. It's vivid and adds nice color while being useful too.

but they do have orange listerine too, Wink

Misty, I think you need absolutely zero input GF. Sounds like your have a clear vision in your mind's eye and the vision is becoming reality. You definitely have put a great deal of thought into this bathroom and how it relates to the master bedroom too. Love to see pics once it's complete.
