MAY I USE YOUR POWDER ROOM? – My Old Country House

I will be with my son today. having his nose put back the way God Intended it to be….and so I thought I would share some of the photos from this, one of my Favorite room makeovers….I think, because I did everything all by myself!!

The Powder Room Makeover

was the “ball that started it all….” the first room in the 5 room Winter Makeover series….

HANG UP YOUR TOWEL!

I sewed grosgrain ribbon loops on the hand towels to help the kids remember to hang them up…it has been 100% successful!

I spied the Aged Brass bunny hook at Anthropologie and HAD TO HAVE IT!!!!

THE CUBBY

I removed the sliding doors, to paint the inside of the cabinet, with every intention to replace them afterward. I normally store my paint in there.

PRETTY POTTY

Who ever had the brilliant idea to start making toilets more attractive is a GENIUS in my book. I mean, toilets are the centerpiece of most bathrooms, so why shouldn’t they have some style?

I adore this TRESHAM toilet by Kohler. It has similar lines to the Vintage inspired Pedestal sink and is very water conserving to boot!.
LIGHTING
I did not change the light fixture. Just cleaned it up a bit. I love it. We got it when we first moved in. It is from Rejuvination lighting and it is called the “ADRIAN” fixture. We needed a fixture that could be turned off right on the light itself, not with a switch.

I look at this room and it makes me so happy. I proved to myself that I can do it! I tackled tasks I had never done like removing a toilet, a sink and the floors and I boosted my confidence by laying tile and hanging very complex wallpaper as well as the bead board wallpaper. I DID IT!!! and I LOVE IT!!!
