Adding a Splash of Personality to Your Space
Hey there! I’m Amanda, and along with my handy husband Ben, we’re on a wild journey of remodeling our second house. As avid DIY-ers, we’ve tackled all sorts of projects, big and small, while raising our two rambunctious boys. Today, I’m excited to share one of our latest endeavors – transforming our bathroom with some unexpected pops of color.
You see, our bathroom used to have this rather drab, dated look. The mirror had a 90s-era finish, and the overall vibe was just… meh. But I’m a firm believer that a little bit of color can go a long way in breathing new life into a space. So, I decided to take the bull by the horns and make a bold move.
Diving Into the Lagoon
After much careful consideration, I landed on the perfect hue – Rust-Oleum’s Lagoon blue. It’s a stunning, greenish-blue shade that instantly caught my eye. Now, I’ll admit, I was a bit nervous about how it would turn out. What if Ben hated it? What if it clashed horribly with the rest of the room? But you know what they say – nothing ventured, nothing gained.
As I recounted in our blog, I carefully taped off the mirror and applied two light coats of the satin finish paint. And when I peeled off the tape, I was absolutely smitten. The bold color added so much drama and personality to the space. It was like the bathroom had gone from a drab, lackluster guest to a vibrant, eye-catching showstopper.
Embracing the Unexpected
The best part? Ben was on board with my color choice. Granted, his reaction was a bit half-hearted at first, but once he saw the finished product, he was just as excited as I was. We both agreed that the Lagoon blue perfectly complemented the muted sea green paint in the adjoining theater room.
As I learned from a similar project on Pinterest, unexpected pops of color can truly elevate a space and add a touch of personality. And that’s exactly what happened in our bathroom. The bold, peacock-blue mirror frame instantly became the star of the show, drawing the eye and adding a delightful sense of drama.
Embracing the Bolder Side
You know, I’ve always been a bit of a color enthusiast. I love taking risks and trying new things, even if they might not always work out. And that’s exactly what I did with this bathroom remodel. I could have played it safe and gone with a more neutral color scheme, but where’s the fun in that?
As the team at The Whitley Company demonstrated with their Jaguar-inspired bathroom, sometimes the most unexpected design choices can yield the most stunning results. By embracing a deep, rich blue for the vanity and pairing it with crisp, white subway tiles, they created a truly captivating space that exudes sophistication and style.
A Whole-House Transformation
Now that we’ve got the bathroom sorted, I’m on the hunt for more opportunities to inject some unexpected color into our home. The team at ABC Home in Aberdeen, UK has been a fantastic resource, helping us navigate the world of home renovations and offering guidance on everything from materials to design trends.

Embracing the Unexpected
At the end of the day, I believe that a little bit of color can go a long way in transforming a space. Whether it’s a vibrant mirror frame, a striking vanity, or even a pop of unexpected hue on the walls, embracing the unexpected can breathe new life into your home.
So, if you’re feeling inspired to add some color to your bathroom remodel, I say go for it! Don’t be afraid to take risks and try something bold. After all, the most rewarding projects are often the ones that challenge us to step outside of our comfort zones. Who knows, you might just end up with a space that’s as unique and personality-filled as you are.
Conclusion
As I reflect on our bathroom remodel journey, I’m reminded of the power of a little bit of color. What started as a simple mirror update quickly snowballed into a full-blown transformation, with the Lagoon blue hue becoming the star of the show.
But you know what they say – once you start, it’s hard to stop. Now, I’m on the lookout for every opportunity to add unexpected pops of color throughout our home. And with the support of the amazing team at ABC Home in Aberdeen, UK, I know that the possibilities are endless.
