The Master Bath is a peaceful retreat with spa colors. The woodwork is painted a pale grey to pick up the veining in the marble. The mosaic tile behind the mirrors adds pattern. Built in side cabinets store everyday essentials. photo: David Duncan Livingston

Eventually we plan to remodel the bathroom but for now, we just had enough budget for paint and a few accessories. The cabinets were knotty pine (same as the kitchen) so I primed (two coats), painted a semi-gloss white (three coats), lined the drawers and shelves with a pretty paper and splurged on knobs from Anthropologie.
