Introducing Blue Danube, and POWW Faves!

Ok, so do you want to know what I was working on today???  I painted our full bath!  It stemmed from the fact that I ordered a new shower curtain (that is not in yet).  I also need to change the artwork, but I was too excited to wait for all that to come in and change before I revealed the color!  This is what my bathroom looked like this morning…

It was a lovely soft Ben Moore color called “Glass Slipper” which was a nice green/gray blue if that makes sense!  In some lights it looked a little aqua and in some lights it looked grayish blue.  Well, I wanted a little more drama.  So this morning I picked up a gallon of Ben Moore’s Aura Kitchen & Bath Paint in “Blue Danube”.  It is a much darker blue with a hint of teal in it.  Want to see?  I am in love.

And aren’t these little wall mounted toothbrush holders adorable?  They are from the Container Store.  They also help stop the spread of germs among toothbrushes.  Just thought I’d share them while we were in the bathroom.  Can’t wait for my shower curtain to get here, too!  But like I said, I love this color and had to share it.  Now.  And now you are wondering how I got it done so fast.  Here’s how…
-No tape.  I use a great angle brush, a steady hand, and just paint carefully, avoiding the dreaded tape step.
-No primer.  Aura is self-priming so it only took two coats total of this dark color.  Amazing, right?  And it dries pretty quickly and is ready to recoat sooner than most paints.
-Um, have you seen the bathroom?  It’s tiny!
Now onto my faves from POWW this week!  Lots of links to look through!  And by the way, starting next week, I will be deleting links that are not furniture redos.  Sorry guys- I hate doing it, but it’s for furniture only.
I don’t usually loooooove filing cabinets but you need to see this filing cabinet by Room by Room. She picked up the pattern from Dwell Studio.

And I had to share both of these long dresser/sideboard pieces because I love them too much to choose which one I liked better!  Can I have them both please?
This one from Vintage Vine…

and this one from Maple and Magnolia…

And finally, this nightstand to island makeover was pretty amazing from Kreative Knack.

Come back tomorrow for a giveaway!  Happy Saturday!

    Wow, that is a fantastic colour!

    I am going to redoing my bathroom soon (I hope) and I feel inspired by what you have done.

    I have that medicine cabinet in my ensuite.

    I really like blue danube and you wanna know something funny…my bathroom is glass slipper and I love it. It’s that perfect shade of warm blue without looking like baby blue. And what is even more funny, is that I’m redoing it right now to surprise my son. This sounds very how shall I say dorky, but it’ll have a squid theme. Let’s see how it turns out and looking forward to seeing your shower curtain…

    That bold blue looks great against the black and white in your bathroom, Cassie! Isn’t it satisfying to knock out a project so quickly?

    Cassie-
    Love, love the new color.
    Question: what kind of brush to do you use to cut in? I want to paint my boys room and I am a painting virgin (but hubs refuses to do it) so I am wanting to find the best brushes that I can!
    Thanks and keep up the amazing work!
