Bathroom Re-model

We started yet another house project. For those of you that have never been to our house before I had painted our powder bathroom baby blue and the trim black. I got the idea from a catalog but with different colors. After 3 1/2 year I was tired of the colors and wanted to change it. BuTTT the oil based black paint that was on the base boards was impossible to get off so we riped them out and bought new ones. The new base boards are much wider and have better detail than the what was in there before. This time I wanted the color to be dramatic....so we painted the walls Boat Blue(dark blue almost navy but a bit lighter). I love it!!! We got a bright white cabinet from Pottery Barn to put above the toilet for storage since there was nothing in there before. The dark blue and white look great together. We spray painted all the base boards outside with this special paint machine that my Dad had but there was still a small area that was connected to the inside of the door that needed to be painted. We had to make a tunnel with the plastic cloth so that the white spray dots did not get on the fresh blue paint. Here are some pictures of what we did:
