The power of paint is a wondrous thing, my friend. I’m so excited to share my experience using Clare paint in beautiful white and black wall colors to update our bathroom for the One Room Challenge. Let me tell you, Clare made the process so easy and convenient that the usual chore was actually fun!

White and Black Wall Paint in the Bathroom

Before and After with White and Black Walls

I’ve been wanting to try Clare paint ever since I first heard about this pioneering paint brand that ships zero VOC, GREENGAURD Gold Certified, high-quality paint, and supplies right to your front door!

So when they said yes to sponsoring my One Room Challenge I asked for mess-free paint samples of their beautiful deep and moody hues and bright whites. With help from my Instagram followers, I decided on using Snow Day and Blackish.

The white and black wall paint colors came with a paint can opener, stir sticks, rollers, and pan so I was able to start right away.

I started with the black wall paint as I was anxious to see how it looked in the small-dark bathroom. It was definitely the right choice!

The two walls around the toilet were the only two I painted dark to showcase the new marble tile going in (hopefully soon!) and an art gallery wall.

I was pleased with the ease Clare paint went on and only needed one coat with minimal touch-ups. The roller they sent was perfect for the crow’s foot texture walls.

The gray cabinets near the toilet were here when we bought the house and I was on the fence whether or not to change the color. After seeing them next to the dark paint I think they will stay. It is such a sophisticated color combo for a kids’ bathroom and I love it! The art wall is really going to pop.

Moving on to the vanity side which I wanted bright white was a quick and easy two coats of paint. It dries quickly to the touch so there wasn’t any time wasted getting it done. I also painted the medicine cabinet white that was sticking out like a sore thumb.

Check out what a difference the white made! I also had my husband remove the middle door as we are having professionals widen that area.

Our new light fixture from Crystorama arrived just in time for pictures so I went ahead and installed the vanity light and a new mirror. I’ll give you all the details in the reveal post!

The dramatic black and white sides of the two spaces will be stunning when the bathroom is completed! Check out this post to see what else is going into the space.

A huge thank you to these wonderful sponsors for helping me make this gorgeous bathroom a reality.

Here’s what I have left to do in the next three weeks:

1. Have the light switched box on one side moved to the vanity side
2. Remove the door between the bath and vanity area and expand the walkway
3. Repair the drywall
4. Sand the ceiling on the vanity side
5. Paint the vanity side, trim, door, and medicine cabinet white
6. Paint the tub/toilet side black with black trim

8. Apply wallpaper to the ceiling
9. Add gold pulls to the cabinets
10. Hang the new light fixture
11. Hang new mirror
12. Install marble and gold shelf over toilet
13. Hang new shelf under vanity mirror
14. Install new faucet
15. Change the towel hangers to an antique hook
16. Have professional tilers install new tub surround and flooring
17. Have professional refinish tub
18. Replace tub faucet, drain, and cover
19. Sew a custom extra-long shower curtain
