So I have a small guest bathroom with tub and shower, small sink and toilet.
I will be taking out everything and bought a pedestal sink and tall tub, white tile around the tub and white medicine cab mirror. Beadboard around the rest of the walls. Sounds like everything is going to be white but I need color on the walls.
So my question is..does anyone have a favotite (cottage bath) color type paint? I like soft green, sage or neutral colors.
Thanks for any input :)

I like those greens as well. Yellow is nice, too, because then you can use those greens in decorator items, towels, pictures, or plants with a different color to set them off. With all that white in there, you might be able to get away with a stronger color on the walls if you were open to that sort of thing. I'm about to paint my three bathrooms this summer, so paint colors are of particular interest to me right now, too. Please take pictures so we can see what you choose! Do you have a window in there, too?

I love soft yellow with white beadboard. Looks really fresh and you can incorporate all the other colors you mentioned. I also love very soft tan. Almost a cafe au lait color. I am looking forward to seeing pics when you are done:)

What about white subway tile around the bathtub?

My bathroom has white beadboard and white floor and the paint color is a very pale green. got it from Home Depot and is called I believe "Sea Glass". I wanted a more spa like feel to the room, kind of a beach-y thing.

I love the white subway tile. That sounds like it would look fantastic. I have a very very small bathroom also. We put up white beadboard and used soft yellow on the walls. You said you got a tall tub. What is that exactly? We have just enough room in our bathroom for a small vanity, toilet and a tub shower combo. I mean our bathroom is so small that we were going to put in a new toilet with the elongated seat and there was not enough room. The door would not close:eek: And that is our only bathroom. Someday I am going to have two bathrooms. Yup that is my dream:D Anway back to the tub. I have been trying to convince hubs to take out the tub shower combo and replace with a curved walkin shower only. Would leave us with a bit more "elbow" room. So was wondering what is a tall tub. Maybe that would work for us.
