The Wythe Blue really didn't flow with the rest of the house and I was tired of it so out came the Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore. It's a beautiful greige and I have it in the Master Bathroom, too.
I also painted the ceiling the same color since it was blue, too.
I also painted the ceiling the same color since it was blue, too.
Of course painting the walls led to a few changes in here. Instead of using the old stool next to the pedestal sink for the soap I hung this bracket I had instead. This makes the space feel roomier.
I like to use old bowls I find to hold soap.
I brought the olive bucket in to use as the waste basket.
I moved the vintage rack from the left side of the sink to right where the towels are easy to use.
I hung two pictures from my stash over the toilet.
These have a touch of gray in them like the new paint color.
Sachets sit in an ironstone bowl.
The cost of this project. $0
I had everything on hand including the leftover paint.
What's that you say? This project wasn't on my Project List? You know your're right.
I forgot to add it. Oh, well, its's done now.
Tell me have you started any projects yet this year?
Have a super week!

LOVE IT Kim!! Seems we're on the same wave length again and that's all I'm sayin lol!!
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't even started any projects, big or small, and you're making me look really bad! Can't believe the changes this powder room has seen since 2012. I need to get a better look at that towel rack, but I like what I see. Good job, Kim!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I really like the little shelf next to the sink. We're giving our powder room a facelift too. Hubby is painting it today.
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
Looks fabulous. I love the shelf for the soap, makes the room look much bigger and so pretty too.
ReplyDeleteLove it Kim!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Cindy
love the new look~! shelf looks so much sweeter than the stool...
ReplyDeletewe're scheduled for a whole house interior painting== end of jan to first week of feb. its gonna be a big mess till its finiished but hopefully worth it.
Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteYour bathroom makeover looks wonderful! Did you go with 6 foot high wainscoting? Also, are your doors antiqued? The bathroom door looks like it received your special painting touch too! I love the wooden frames against the white. Very pretty!!!
No, they aren't six feet high. I just showed hubby how high I wanted them. I'm 5'4 and the trim over the beadboard is just above my head. All my doors on the first floor are painted a very dark brown.
DeleteThanks
I thought the 2012 powder room was cute but I like the 2014 one, too!! You are putting me to shame, Kim, already having finished a project!!
ReplyDeleteSome time could you address how and with what you hang pictures/shelves and then how you repair the nail holes/wall anchor holes when you move something. I move stuff around here, too, and then I've got the holes in the drywall. (Especially the holes left from I've used a wall anchor.) Thanks!!
Barbara, I just use normal picture hanging hooks and nails. It is so easy to patch the holes with Spackle and then paint the spot. Easy peasy. BTW, it's 2015. :)
DeleteIt looks fantastic...so bright and cheery!!...and love the new prints in there....Great project for zero dollars!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute Kim. How on earth did you hang that mirror? It goes above the trim right? Looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe picture hanger is just below the trim.
DeleteThanks
well look at you, ahead of the game. finishing projects that weren't even on the list....show off! looked good before, looks great now. funny about the stool in your face.
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteLooooove! The powder room looks so fantastic. You rock girl. Love that ceiling light fixture. Beautiful job and it is even more beautiful with $0 spent.
Kris
Well done Kim-you are a super star!
ReplyDeleteFeeling slugging as all I have done is a charcoal and graphite piece so far. NO redesigning even though my list is long :/
ReplyDeleteLuvly!!!!
This may have just given me the idea to change my guest bath!! Oh, and January is great month to paint, I actually read this taking a break as husband and I are painting the master bedroom and bath today!!
ReplyDeleteI usually hate to paint a room but I need one done...you are giving me inspiration to just "gitter done"! Such a beautiful room....thanks for sharing how you achieved it.
ReplyDeleteI swear, you are the energizer bunny's TWIN! You put us all to shame. I have done alot of organizing and purging but no big projects yet. The powder room looks beautiful, love that little shelf.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Kim! I really love the new color and that you painted the ceiling the same color. This bathroom is upscale with touches of chippy vintage... just my sweet spot!
ReplyDeleteMy dryer died, so at the beginning of the year I had a new front loading washer and dryer set delivered. They are in the garage of my cottage - I don't have a laundry room. However, I am making a "laundry area". I have added shelves, framed photos, and decorative storage for my laundry soap & supplies. I am also painting the walls Benjamin Moore Ocean Air (a pretty gray, green, blue). It's perfect for Santa Barbara and a beach cottage! I love your makeover. I just don't know how you get it all done so quickly!!!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Michelle from simplysantabarbara.blogspot.com
I love the new look. And that mirror... want!!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty room......love the pics and the frames.....adds a touch of warmth....
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Kim! Your colors are nice and I like that the accessories are a blending of formal and some that are more rustic. Now you have inspired me to complete the powder room here! I have been dragging my feet at the final little touches.... you know, the ones that wait what seems to be forever, and then it's time to redo it all!!
ReplyDeleteI like this color combo much better. I's much calmer and fits the small size of that room. I'm planning on painting my master bath that same color once we start renovating it. I've already used it in the kids bath and love it. It looks so good against white. I bet that room feels more spacious now.
ReplyDeleteWhat? An amazing project for $0 and it wasn't even on your list and it's completed by Jan 19th? I'm so ashamed of myself!!! You're so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the new wall color....so pretty!!!! What a clever idea to use a sconce to hold the little pitcher of roses and soap too.
ReplyDelete~Des
I have several painting projects and just need to "pull the trigger"....love your powder room make over....it's really pretty. Where is your little pig you had in here......I loved him!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour powder room looks gorgeous Kim! Love all the details. We are just doing misc things around here at the moment. This weekend we're going up to our mountain cottage and FINALLY starting on the kitchen reno!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous Kim! I love that olive basket but everything is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteLoved it when you did it; still do!! great job! blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteRevere Pewter is a great colour and now that we have it on parts of the main floor I am looking forward to bringing it upstairs. Your powder room looks lovely. The wall bracket is a great piece. After admiring your wooden stool I finally found a nice old one and put it in the powder room. I was wondering if it might be a bit tight with it in there. Just the other day i was digging through our wood stash to see if I should hang a narrow shelf instead. I am working on a few projects after work so far this month, but none are completed yet. The story of my life lol.
ReplyDeleteGoregeous! I ADORE the mirror!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh that mirror.........lovely
ReplyDeleteLove the new color Kim, and the mirror! Beautiful. -Kristi
ReplyDeleteLooks great Kim! Time sure does fly. It seems like it was just yesterday you changed it up the first time.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous Kim - I'm in love with that mirror - what a beauty !
ReplyDeleteLove your mirror....so beautiful Kim! Projects...what projects ;-) . Well I have one actually two, but I am not ready. You are way ahead of me.
