Virgin Bathroom

We have one room that has never been painted: the master bath. It still has the pitiful coat the scab painters applied when we built the house during a local strike. 

Now that three decades have passed, and we are waiting for the ceiling guy to apply the popcorn to the ceiling (because it was that or de-popcorn the rest of the house), Gary said he wanted me to paint the virgin bathroom.

I thought somehow this paint color would be a good idea. For a bathroom..

I showed that photo to the lady who had mixed it at the hardware store. She thought a moment and said "... that's a crappy color."

(Also, the painter in me says I could just add a glaze of linseed oil and a transparent yellow, then maybe scumble it with white and it would match. And look less like poop.)

But instead I have done things the right way now, with paint cards and sample pints, and the bathroom is now to be ... wait for it ... sea foam. Just like every bathroom I pooped in growing up. It will be more appropriate than the brown as long as I don't get porphyria.
