Question:

What color should we paint our bathroom vanity?

We are updating our guest bathroom and would like to paint the vanity. It is a double vanity with oak cabinetry (but it is beat up) and beige countertop. We are replacing the beat up wall trim with new painted white trim and the walls are going to be a dark khaki color. We were thinking that paining it white would be to stark and might not look good with the beige countertop. Would it look good to paint the vanity the same dark khaki color as the walls?

Answer:

I would suggest painting it a dark brown. Add new modern brushed chrome hardware and it will look brand new. Not that you asked, but I think light blue or gray blue towels would look good with the khaki, dark brown and white.

Go with a nice deep walnut color on the vanity and finish off with some brushed nickle hardware.
How about black semi gloss? Black looks great on any furniture and it would look good with the countertop too. The khaki on the cabinets would not look bad but I think it would blend in with the room more than you want it to. You could always paint a door on the vanity first and see what you think since you already have that color. I would not use the wall paint for the cabinets though. You will need to prime them first and use at least a semi gloss on them. I like the brushed nickle for the hardware idea. But only if you have the silver color for the faucets and stuff too. I like butterfly lovers answer too but only if you want to go to the trouble of stripping and staining them.
I would go dark with the vanity. I'd try to refinish the oak with a walnut or Jacobean frinish, or paint it a deep rich brown.
