Bathroom Makeover - Take 2

I finally decided on a paint color for my bathroom.  It took about 4 different samples and lots of searches on the computer before I made the final choice.  I started a Pinterest board called "decorating my bathroom" to pin all my ideas in one spot.  I've included here a  few before photos - you can visit  my blog post "My Bathroom Makeover - The Before for more before photos.






I went with the Sherwin Williams Tidewater although I had it mixed at Benjamin Moore.  Instead of using white for the ceiling - I saw a suggestion on-line - to use a lighter shade that coordinated with the wall color so I used the pale blue called glimmer on the same paint sample card as the Tidewater.

The beach print on the wall here is from a Etsy seller called Kelly Bermudez.  Here is the photo from her Etsy listing and the link to her nautical beach section on Etsy  https://www.etsy.com/shop/kellybermudez?section_id=11927539



Check out her shop for this and other reasonably priced reproductions of her original artwork.
I love her art work and I was blessed to have won this piece in a giveaway she hosted some time ago.   I just recently got the frame for it at Home Goods but I still plan to take it to Michael's to have them add a turquoise matting.












I had purchased a shower curtain which you can see in the before blog post but it was a somewhat busier print.  When I bought my towels I found this shower curtain which I just had to have.
I purchased both of these at home goods.







I need to come up with some ideas for these two walls -- I saw some interesting rectangular mirrors for the long wall at Home Goods which would look nice and I'd like to also find or make some kind of shelf - to put seashell or driftwood on. 











Whether you love or hate what I've done, I'd love to hear from you - please share your ideas for finishing touches.  I plan to paint the brown cabinets also but can't decide what color to do them or how to do it so I'm all ears for suggestions.
