I am decorating-challenged
 

We are finally in the process of remodeling our bathroom. Please, someone tell me what color to stain our vanity (I bought it unfinished). I am tired of trying to decide. Evidently, it's all up to me because I'm "the girl".

I bought a granite counter top for a good price (thanks to FMCoug for recommendations). It looks a little like this. http://www.faucetdirect.com/index.cf...ELAID=79521519

This is the tile for the floor and shower

I'm guessing the walls will be some sort of a tan, neutral color.

This is a small bathroom, about 6 x 8 ft.

all our rooms are really bright colors. lots of pop on the walls. I like that.

I would paint it pink and lime green stripes. A little contrast is good.

Me?...I'm just a guy...so what do I know?

But my .02 cents is....

You have a granite counter-top that has dark flecks in it...but over-all, it's mostly "light" colored.

Your tile flooring is "light" as well.

Me?...I'd go with contrast so as to prevent the cabinets from getting washed out in the floor and counter-top...so, something dark to match the dark flecks in your counter-top. Cherry, Walnut, Mahogony, etc.

I like your colors you've chosen.

I was actually being serious about the bright colors. All our rooms are that way.

For our downstairs (guest) bathroom, I basically took stuff that I liked from different hotels and then copied it.

I tried to move all the kids junk out of the way so you get an idea, but then I realized that what I was doing, in essence, was cleaning the bathroom...and I don't clean bathrooms. So I stopped and took the picture. I did leave the toilet seat up on purpose because toilet seats are more funny in pictures when they are left up.

You can also see where my daughter splashed the mirror with her toothbrush.

Not sure how I get the pic to rotate correctly.

Ha ha! Triplet Dad touched a toilet seat with his hands! Imagine all the germs that are invading your body right now. Infecting you and making you sick. Gross, now they're on your computer keyboard. Every time you type it's like you're rubbing your hands all over a toilet bowl.

Farrah, go with something dark. Walnut, mahogany or cherry.

Hey, I said I left it up, not propped it up.

I am OK with my family's germs, anyway. It is just the germs of strangers, coworkers, and midgets that freak me out.

I did see on the news last week or so about how disgusting our computer keyboards really are. I think it was a UK study. I went down the IT department and took one of those cans of compressed air. What blew off my keyboard was pretty disgusting. Lots of crumbs, some hair, dust, and Lord knows what else.

I may start wearing gloves all the time.

Farrah, you know you are decoratingly-challenged if you are asking for advice from a bunch of guys from a sports message board.

I'm with you though... I am absolutely clueless in this area.

Third vote for dark.
