Painting Subtle Wall Stripes & Stenciling A Bathroom Floor

When our bloggy friend Roeshel sent over her bathroom makeover it was enjoy at first sight. Here is her letter:
I’d enjoy to submit my bathroom makeover for a reader redesign. Thank you so much for the inspiration! The whole project cost simply $512 and I truly enjoy the outcome. The ceiling paint, primer and trim and door paint were free (we already had it from previous projects) and the wall paint is Benjamin Moore’s Light Pewter and Nimbus (color matched to Valspar’s Signature paint). The lighting was from Lighting Direct and the oval vanity mirror came from Lowe’s. I painted the floor myself with Valspar Porch and Floor Paint in “Journey” and some Benjamin Moore “Smoke Embers” paint I already had (using two of the same Elegant Bracket Stencils). Then I sealed it with Minwax water based polyurethane (which WILL yellow light-colored paint). Oh and I got the Extra long White Waffle shower curtain at Target and used Rustoleum spray primer and oil rubbed bronze spray paint and spray lacquer for the faucets. Of course you can check out all the details over on my journal (for example, the floor painting project can be found right here). ~Roeshel
Here is what the bathroom looked like before Roeshel worked her Hands-on magic:


And here is the remarkable (and wallet-friendly) after:


Is not that breathtaking? Of course we enjoy the horizontal stripes that she brought in to those walls (check out our subtle wall stripe walkthrough right here) and that painted floor is nothing short of remarkable. What do you folks think? Did not Roeshel do a stellar job in here? What is your go-to part? We are torn between that fantastic stenciled floor and the soft clean color combo of the white trim and pedestal sink layered on top of those tone on tone walls. Yummy.
