What colour do I paint the bathroom???

I don't know what colour to paint my future bathroom! I do want to paint it a colour, and something that will go with the overall colour scheme of the condo, but I just do not know what colour that should be! 

If you recall I have purchased this sequin shower curtain: 


And the matching bath mat. 


Will someone please remind me to add shower hooks to the list of things that I'm going to need? 




I also purchased and love these Kate Spade bath towels: 


Of course towels are temporary, but painting my bathroom purple would be out of the question! 

Now what do I do? Just paint the bathroom a similar shade of grey to the curtain? It isn't a very large bathroom but I do want to break up the monochromatic feeling with a bold colour statement - are the pink towels enough to do that? 

Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Please help! What colour should I paint the bathroom??? 


Shopping for all of this stuff at once is exhausting!!

Decorating Inspirations

As I get closer to moving the list of what I still need to get is getting smaller, but the boxes are piling up! There are still a lot of things that I still want to have organized for when I move in, and others that can wait. 

Here are some things I have seen out during my shopping trips that I want or am thinking of getting, I would love your comments! 


Zebra print rug! I'm not 100% sure whether or not I want a Zebra print rug or a solid colour shag rug. If you have seen the buckwheat sofa I ordered and can visualize the black chaise lounge with grey walls, what colour of shag rug do you think would look best? Or maybe Zebra will break up the monochromatic theme? 

In a previous post I showed a picture of a different zebra rug. The picture above I took while furniture shopping with a friend last week. I like the pattern of this rug far better than I do the first one which I found online. 



I saw this mirror, a full length which is absolutely huge and black faux leather. I really want it - I just have to make sure that I have the room to put it somewhere in my bedroom! 


I saw these really nice wine glasses on sale at pier one. They are great because each pattern is different so you can tell which glass is yours! I am not going to get wine or martini glasses until after I move in - just in case they get shuffled around in the move! I also am not sure what style I like best, but I am leaning toward zebra print martini glasses! 


I went to Canadian Tire today to get a black & decker rice cooker which was on sale - these things are amazing! It lets you multi task while cooking. You can do five other things without having to worry about stirring the rice! 



While I was in the store I also this beauty! I didn't buy it yet because I can probably live without it for a little while but I really want one! 



Somehow the pink brita will just make water THAT much tastier! 


This general purpose service tray is a must buy! It's from home outfitters, and as soon as I am set up for entertaining I will get a tray very similar to this one, if not the exact one. 

I also found Zebra martini glasses at target! I think a trip state side might be in order before or shortly after I move! 




Any suggestions on where else I can look for Zebra print wine or martini glasses?
