I've got half the tub surround set, and it's beautiful. It's white, with a hint of grey veining and peachy pink veins. It's not stark white.

And yes, I know that it'll show every speck of dirt, but I live alone. There are two bath rugs that cover part of the floor, and the rest will be easy to wipe up with a quick swipe of a damp towel.

The reason why I wanted white was I wanted the room to blend with the rest of the house. When I sit on my living room couch, I can see into the bathroom, and can see the back wall of the tub. I didn't want it to be standing out, different, but blending in.

And the grout I picked is not white. It's greyish pinkish, purposely so that it'd be easier to keep clean.

(And I have a housekeeper who does the heavy cleaning, so... hehehe!)

A bathroom is supposed to look clean. What looks cleaner than clean white?

I think Valspar is a brand of paint, not the name of a color. I just remember seeing a large sign at Lowe's that said Valspar...

OK, I'll ask her again. She was 100% sure it was Eddie Bauer paint, though.

Thanks Yankee. The more I think about it, the more I want to do that color somewhere in my house!

I like 3 the best. I like it matted. I also like how green and red go together, they are a great match. (They are on opposites on the color wheel, and those always go together well.)

I'm not sure. But I've sent her an email to ask about which sage green it was.

BTW, those colors are WAY OFF looking on my monitor. The Wicker paint that they have in their house now looks NOTHING like that swatch. Here's the only pic I have -- the walls look nothing like that Wicker swatch above to me.

It's actually a really nice, neutral champagny color.

I hesitated to post this pic, btw, cause they're in the process of changing their counter and my mom would kill if she knew I was posting it online LOL

Oh and #3 looks great, Vacanick, but given that you have green carpet, if it were me I'd go with #2 or 1. I am not a fan of matchy, though I do like a mat around it.

I think #1 shows the colors in your painting the best; it really brings all the colors alive, but if you are trying to match your carpet, then do #3.

Any one of the four could work, Nic, depending upon what else is going on in the room. Don't forget that there's a lot of space to fill above a sofa. *Arranging Pictures*

Nick, I pick #3! If you've got sage carpet, doesn't the matting kinda match the carpet? It'll pull the look together, yes? But I'd put the pic in a larger frame, with a smaller mat, so you lose less of the pic.

Jules, that Meadow is a blue-green, not really a sage green. (You'll not find sage in a real meadow! LOL!)

I just found out my tile co didn't order the damned grout. So I get to run out at 3pm to pick it up. <sigh> I hope the tile setter doesn't need it before then!

I can't wait to shower in my own bathroom again! I've been using my neighbor's, and it's so dark in her shower! Try washing paint out of your hair with not enough light to see it (and it's white paint in my dark auburn hair!).

Plus, there's that clean white thing. :-)

Vacanick, I like #1 the best. I think that #3 takes away to much of the color. When I look at it, I see a green matte that distracts from the colors of the picture. It is a beautiful picture!

Vac: i like #1 - less matting lets the picture itself 'show-off' more IMHO.
