One of the benefits of having a green floor is the ability to layout art on it and imagine the arrangement on your similarly toned walls. Trouble figuring out placements for a gallery wall? Just paint your floors to match! Great planning aid!
I kid. Here’s what I’ve got so far though.
I’m going to use a little ledge for the tumbler and bowl, either in white or green. I’m considering adding a clock though too, and then maybe I’d need another little ledge to balance it out. What do you think?
Also, I’m trying to choose a color for the mirror. I had originally planned on yellow, but I nixed all of the yellow accessories for the room, so now the color would probably look out of place. Maybe black? Or the darker green of that little bowl above?
I think painting the mirror white or the darker green would pop quite nicely! I very much like the fixtures you chose for your lighting!
I very much like them too. Those were from Schoolhouse Electric.
I think a shiny dark green on the mirror would look great!
I love it so far!
that print is super adorable!!
The mirror frame would look fabulous in black!
I concur….. A matt black would be lovely and picks out the black in the zig-zag accessories and light fixtures.
:O)
What about the Light blue you painted the basement door? It would be a little bit of cheer to brighten the space up.
Not a bad idea…
Are the stripes on the little lamps black? If so I’d say black. Looking good!
Yes, and on the towel too.
This is what I was thinking.
What’s that little first aid kit? Does it mount on the wall?
It does.
I agree with the above posters that the mirror would look great in black, but how about a pale pink to reference the other areas of the basement space. Or a similar pinkish-beige to reference the background of the art?
I vote for a deep peony pink on the mirror! Or maybe a fun clock like this one:

Fun!
That was my thought. A deep, bright pink.

Normally I love pink and green, but I’m not sure I’d like it with a green as olive-y as the one in here.
Super cute shoes! Where are they from?
J. Crew, last year.
yes, great shoes! That is the first thing that popped into my mind.
I was going to comment on the shoes too – love them!
Why is your tiny basement bathroom so much cuter than any of the ones in my house?
The basement bathroom is the cutest one in the house now. We should start sending guests down there if they need to use the facilities!
where is that first aid kit from?? its adorable!
I wrote about it here.
BLACK! Shiny!
I think light pink for the mirror to tie in with the pink walls just outside. Though white would look great, too. I’m not thrilled with a dark green. I think you need more contrast (and lighter accessories).
I like the pink idea (always a fan of pink), and stevie’s suggestion of light blue in a comment above too.
Love how the bathroom is turning out! (And also love your shoes!)
Love how the bathroom is coming along. I vote for a black mirror.
I am loving your shoes though! Where are they from?
J. Crew. They’re a little tight now though — I’m hoping my feet go back to their former pre-pregnancy size so I can continue to wear them.
I vote black for the mirror frame!
Just found this blog and LOVE it! Where did you get the print that says “you look lovely today”? I absolutely adore it. Also, I think a white would look awesome on that mirror. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Thanks! I wrote about the print here, jokingly saying that it would take the place of a mirror.
I think it’s better to choose a complementary color. From pictures, the bathroom is beginning to look a little dark without a yellow or another brighter color to mix in with the green and white… I think a yellow or another warm tone needs to be the color for the mirror.
Oh my goodness I love that print! Off to purchase it now…
I came to the site from my reader just to comment that you should most certainly paint the mirror black…but then I read the other comments and I was swayed by the deep peony pink!
or what about a metallic finish? just to brighten it up in there without totally bringing in another color? so, silver? (maybe it’s your shoes that inspired me!)
I’m totally distracted by the sparkly goodness that’s going on down by your tootypegs. Where, oh where did you find those???
I love that shade of green with light blue. Maybe light blue is an option for the mirror and a few accessories?
love that print, especially for the bathroom!
whatever color you choose for the mirror, have you considered martha’s new metallic paints?
I was honestly thinking a metallic silver color would look good.
i love the color it is now in that photo!
I think the mirror would still look really great painted yellow. It would be a nice pop of color!
my first thought was that color that the Youngsters at Young House Love painted their built-ins…Dragonfly by Benjamin Moore.

although I think the peony would be awesome.
Def. black for the mirror.
I vote for the laundry room blue, just a little touch of Tiffany :)
Paint the mirror Peony!! Pink has never been a bad choice for you *it’s your signature color!*
A must say that a peony pink mirror would make me swoon a little. It would be so you! :)
Have you not considered white for the mirror? I like the idea of a lighter color with the green, although black would look nice too.
i vote the light blue or black. white would be nice, but think of all the dusting in those little nooks and crannies. >.<
Wow – so many good suggestions. Are you feeling overwhelmed? I think whatever you choose, it will look great and all will be envious. Another commentor suggested white and another pink. What about a super pale, pale blush pink? Mmmm, can’t wait to see!
I am not always a proponent of black but I think it would look very sharp in your adorable bathroom.
The mirror frame in black would looh very sculptural and match nicely with the other accessories.
black. it would bring out the details in your sconces so nicely.
Shiny silver! Is there such a thing as silver leaf?
i vote white or black.
How about silver?
I vote for a bright medium blue color. Sounds crazy at first, but look at this color palette from Emily Henderson: http://www.hgtv.com/design-star/emily-hendersons-design-portfolio/pictures/index.html
Its blue with green, but you could do something of the reverse and I bet it would look great!
I like your idea of black! I love all the previous poster suggestions of pink! I love the bright blue idea!
But, I also think white would look great!
Whatever you pick will be terrific!
So fun that you can do wall layouts on your floor! That is awesome!
Love those cute shoes peeking into the photo!

It’s coming together nicely. I vote silver for the mirror because of the fixtures.
What about red?
Silver, blue or red (especially if they are near your washer/dryer.
Black
Love that frame! Wherever did you find it?
And your sparkly shoes are too cute! :)
