I think it looks great as it is. If you've got the time and energy then paint it.
Good job with the floor, is it vinyl?
Sorry stupid question, youv''ve got spacers so must be tile or timber??

i will try and include a pic.....................come on guys why wont it sell????!!!

I think it looks great but one thing that we did with ours (had a very very green bathroom!) was to paint in neutral colours.......We're not pale people and do like to have colour in our house but we had to remember that we were selling to someone else.....We had to make it appeal to a lot of people and that ment painting it neutral.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
