BEFORE AND AFTER POWDER BATHROOM

Somebody emailed me to say she missed my blog.....I miss it also.

So I need a wife to do all the things that take up my time now so I can get back to what is important:)

I have had a few small installs and one of them was this powder room....

Yes...she was a tad bit dull...just your basic builder grade bathroom. I was excited to make this room special....

Here is my board after I decided what the heck I was gonna do!

Let's talk about the good parts of this room:

1. I did not really have to undo anything....as it was pretty much a blank slate!

2. The paneling was already there which I was really happy about!

I had been looking at these Josephine Munsey wallpapers and fell in love. This one seemed perfect as it had a neutral background and after looking at some colors I decided on SW Analytical Gray to use as the color for the vanity and the paneling.

In the beginning I was almost thinking to change the countertop and possibly faucet but after some thought I knew I could make a bigger impact adding other things to the space.

The paneling was painted and the light fixture went up and I knew she was going to be a stunner. If you have tall ceilings this fixture from Visual Comfort is wonderful! It comes in a single, double and tripple and I have used it quite a few times.....

I also ordered one of my favorite mirrors from Currey and Co which I knew would be good because it has silver tones and would go nicely with the faucet.....I don't think all the metals need to match!

I picked up the small watercolors from Vickie Sides at Scott's Antique Market before I even started the project cause they were so pretty and then "bam" they were perfect!
