Bathroom Re-do

I recently added molding and painted the upstairs kids bathroom. Some of these pictures are a little dark but hopefully you will get the idea. It looks a lot better than it did.

BEFORE
Here is a "before" picture of the girl's vanity.


The boy's side of the bathroom "before", complete with dirty laundry on the floor and all.

AFTER
The color isn't very good in this picture because I had to turn off the flash or it glared off the mirror. I put molding about 3/5ths of the way up the wall and painted everything above it a fun bamboo green. Then I painted the molding and wall below it high-gloss, bright white.

The color is a little better in this picture. I put up hooks instead of the towel bar. It is a lot easier for the kids to hang their towels on hooks. But somehow the towels still seem to like the floors of their bedrooms.
I would like to fix the countertop but that is part of a longer term budget. What do you think about blackish countertops? Or how about pain white?
