My house was built in 1975 and it shows. It has never been renovated just maintained. When we moved in every light and fixture in the house was so dated and hideous. Lots of bronze and gold. The cabinets all match throughout the house and there are alot of them. The problem is that they are so hideous! So here is my green bathroom with lovely yellow laminate countertops. The cabinets are dark brown and have what appears to be 12 coats of polyurethane on them. 
While I hate my bathroom, I do not have the $$ to do much to is. It just always felt old. So in order to give it a fresh new facelift, I got out an old gallon of white paint and went to town!
This snow must be getting to me because I just do not know what to do with my yime when I am literally stuck in the house!
I have never painted any walls white because I love color. I usually choose bold and bright. This space has great light since it faces east so the white really shows it off. 
I am so happy with my decision! It still needs alot of work in here but it settled my urge to do major renovations for awhile. Painting ain't easy! Apparently painting white over a dark color is much harder that vice versa. It took me forever and I ran out of paint even before I really got an even coat. So don't sit for too long on my pot because you will see all the flaws!
I used Behr Bright White. I cannot recommend this paint because two weeks ago I painted my hallway with the high end Valspar Ultra Premium paint and primer in one and it was glorious! It is the BEST paint I have ever used. It is definitely worth the extra $8 per gallon.
Next project. . . who knows! I would like to redo the trim and reface the cabinets in this bathroom before I try to tackle the kitchen and main rooms. Gotta get some more dough for that task though!
Have a great day!
