Hue for the Loo

Being someone so vehemently against un-adorned walls (color or frame-age), it’s really a wonder that my bathroom walls stayed white for as long as they did. I suppose I was too busy refreshing and adorning myself to give the space the same attention.  But, eventually the little spots of pepto-pink that the former tenant (a Lilly Pulitzer type, one can only assume) neglected to paint over upon vacation were too much to not wage a war against.  Seeing as my apartment has inadvertently adopted a nautical safari theme, I opted to maintain continuity and go blue, a vibrant contrast to the red coral shower curtain.  Now, I doubt anyone who knows me would do anything but burst into laughter if asked whether I was afraid of color, and seeing as so little time is spent in the bathroom, I don’t see any reason not to go as bold as possible.  Thus, “Nautical Navy” it was, however embarrassingly apropos.  Now that all is said and done -- including but not limited to spilling an entire quart of paint on the floor (I suppose the universe preferred that I have matching grout) -- I must say that I truly love it.  The contrasting white, lime and red against the rich saturation of navy is delightful, and I can’t imagine getting tired of such an amicable color.
