Master Bathroom

So i started redoing my master bathroom. There wasnt anything wrong with it to begin with. The house is only 6 months old. But...builder grade material is really crappy and I hated they used cheap paint, especially in the bathroom where there is lots of moisture. I decided to paint the walls a brown color. Its called Pine Bark. With the cabinets and flooring i thought it might be too dark...but i love it now that its completely painted. I will post pics of it probably tomorrow after I get it all cleaned up and reorganized. I am using green and cream/yellow accents. I painted a white bathroom cabinet a creamy yellow color...i think its called Riesling. I have some green candles to put up and looking for some other accents to go in there. I have also found some light bamboo shades to go in the window. But right now Lowes is out of the size we need. I think its really going to turn out the way i have it pictured...at least i hope so! : )

I havent decided what room to start on next. Honestly, I dont really want to put a whole lot of money and effort into the house that we arent going to be living in forever....I know it will help in resale. But if you guys only knew the trouble we have had out of a 6 month old house youd be shocked. The builder/contractor here is something else. I would never tell anyone to use him...had we known about him and how he builds, we would have never bought this house. but what can ya do now? We are making a list of all the things that are wrong with the house and emailing it to the builder before our year homeowner warranty is out. per his request of everyone in the subdivision. Matt wants to go around and talk to our other neighbors to see if they are having issues like we are. We know a couple of them are...they were very open to us when we moved in that they were having problems. So we will see what happens.

If anything we will end up painting everything back to the original color we picked out...i think its called Pavillion Beige, just in a better paint.
