Which finish do you go with when you repaint your bathroom? We've usually done semi-gloss in the past (and a long time ago only Glossy!) but now I'm thinking I want to use Satin.

Haven't repainted our bathroom till now. Most of the area is covered by tiles and very few area remaining to paint. Our choice will be Ivory for the remaining area.

For one bathroom I've chosen a color called Hathaway Peach by Benjamin Moore and it's a slightly darker shade of the existing color. In another bathroom which is just a powder room I wanted to do a color called Copper Pot but I think it's way too dark so I'm leading toward a color called Ginger Beer by Olympia. I'm thinking of doing both in satin.

I just watched a home improvement type show and they were actually gutting the house and totally remodeling a historical house. They had chosen satin as their finish in the bathrooms.

Good to know!! I think paint is a lot more durable than it used to be so it can hold up to the humidity.
