The Powder Room Makeover

On January 23, 2012 I revealed the new Powder Room. Seems I like to start painting like a crazy person in January. I had also painted the Sun Room at the same time that year. Sure am glad I keep updating it because the way it looked then is not me at all now. Change is good. This year I'm blaming the gray, cloudy and cold weather for staying in and painting.

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.

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.

And this is the view from the.....well, you know. Much better than having a stool in your face.

I moved the vintage rack from the left side of the sink to right where the towels are easy to use.

Old rack from my trip to France.

It is so hard to get photos in this tiny space.

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!
