No more neon green!
I finally got sick of looking at the neon green bathroom and painted it.
At first, I was going to paint it a powdery pink (it's a powder room, after all), but I chickened out and picked beige instead. Actually, the new colour is called "Barrister White". I don't know if that's supposed to mean something.
Anyway, it's no longer shocking to enter the bathroom, which is probably good. Here's what the new colour looks like (go to this post if you want to see what the old colour looked like):
I also replaced the double faucets (which separated the hot and the cold water, see above) with a single faucet. A friend once commented on the old faucets that he had to toss the water together like a salad in order to make the water tolerable for washing his hands - thank goodness that's no longer an issue! Here's the new faucet:
And here's a close-up with the water running:
I thought it might look out of place in this bathroom because it's so modern, but it turned out to be OK and I'm starting to really like it. Plus, the little joystick handle is cool!

Ya should have replaced it with a pedestal sink to hide that ugly downpipe.
I wanted to replace it as you suggested, but the space where the sink sits is really shallow and I would have had to get a custom ordered sink just to fit.
I felt it wasn't worth the effort since I'm sure whoever buys this house in the future will end up gutting the whole place anyway.
