I now have enough painting experience to issue the following comment:

Bathrooms are a bitch to paint.

I painted the bathroom and hallway yesterday. I had some doubts about the color choice when I started putting it up, but now that it's all up and dry I think it's really pretty. Most of the paint made it onto the walls. I wish I'd gotten a little less paint on everything else. I also wish the previous owners hadn't put rubbery, adhesive type thing around all the doors in the hallway after they'd painted it red. I noticed it when I was taping everything. The true significance didn't hit me until I started painting and realized that paint doesn't stick to it. For now, I'm calling the red strip around all the doors an "accent" color. I think maybe if I score the adhesive with a utility knife I'll be able to strip it off and then touch up the paint around the doors. Blech. I wanted to be done with that part. But it is fun to be able to come up with my own color schemes for the walls.

what color did you use?

It's called Whisper Violet. It's a Benjamin Moore paint. At first I thought it was a too subtle. It looked white when I was putting it on the walls. It dries darker and I think it wound up being very nice.
