That's the first place I would look.<BR/><BR/>Off the top of my head I would say paint the bathtub black and the walls CC-490 Smoky Taupe. The do some black and white framed art on the left!<BR/><BR/>Or actually probably better would be to pick a colour that relates to the stained glass, perhaps a butter colour like straw 2154-50. Then paint the tub an eggplant shade.<BR/><BR/>Whatever you choose, keep going on the ceiling, it will look more finished.Maria Killamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728225086725817125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550682510636470426.post-23152124551778544052009-03-13T11:48:00.000-04:002009-03-13T11:48:00.000-04:00We are lovin' charcoal grey on walls right now - i...We are lovin' charcoal grey on walls right now - it gives a nice european feel with shades of cream and ivory.

Then the hues will coordinate with the brass accents and English feel. As for the mirror, you could stay with the brass, or inject a pine frame or an ages looking architectural fram to cover the mirror here. (Flea market find) As for the tub feet, I think I would stay with the feet maybe "age" them with a glaze or get a more darker rubbed bronze feel. Add some fluffy white fresh towels & you are in business. Maybe some botanical prints or something that pulls the stained glass colors from the window.<BR/>Leslie<BR/>lamaisonfou blogLa Maison Fouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823093111074286855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550682510636470426.post-39146641991316825042009-03-12T12:22:00.000-04:002009-03-12T12:22:00.000-04:00When I was doing architectural salvage, we had a c...When I was doing architectural salvage, we had a client ask us to have the claw feet chromed.
