Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design Not being a big fan of beige, I would like you to add life to this bath with some color. You might consider SW Tidewater, a watery blue/green. But I do like Ethereal Mood you mentioned which is a dark greenish gray. Can it live happily with your tile? Before you buy a gallon or so of anything, I suggest you buy a sample jug and paint a poster board with 2 coats of the color. Check it out in daylight if there is any, and at night also, if you have electricity.

mafa2004 yeah i figured ecru might be too matchey matchey with the tile

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design Precisely. Live a little!

mafa2004 What about a deep lavender? I have a medium brown vanity

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design I don't think I would like lavender with your oak cabinets. The paint color needs to be light enough that you don't darken the room too much. Take a look at these bathrooms that have oak cabinets. Pale greens or blue/greens will look great.

olldbobbi I like Carolyn's suggestion of SW Tidewater, see how pretty it is in this picture? [houzz=

mafa2004 Here is the bathroom with SW tidewater - not sure if a better color would be better or a second coat.

olldbobbi Second coat, always. I know it's a bummer, but.....

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design It's already looking great! It has life and interest!

auroracanby I'd still vote for Ethereal Mood, but at least it's not Ecru. That band of white(?) tile around the shower
tile is a nice touch.
