Starting Powder Room Mini- Remodel (PICS) - Need Input Please
Comments (6)Thanks Busybme. I was just thinking the same thing today after doing some remeasuring, that I could fit a 3 light bar fixture in the space I have. Here is a pic of the Duchess 3 light fixture but I turned it upside down for the downlight effect. Only issue I see reversing the light is needing more room above the arched mirror since the lamp shades will be running into the mirror top. I am leaning toward the first mirror too, but I haven't been able to actually see one in person yet to verify the finish color. I would have to order online and hope it will work. Still thinking about the mirror type and finish that would look best. I think the second mirror choice would be "safe" but I am feeling the urge to get a little more dramatic than that! Thanks everyone for the good comments. I have posted this on the decorating board and am getting suggestions there too. Gsciencechick I am going to check out that Moen faucet. I also found a Delta faucet yesterday that looks like it would work too. Only problem I am having is that my current TP holder is the recessed type built into the drywall. I am having a hard time finding one of those in a nice antique bronze type finish. I have seen one in ORB but it looks almost black and I really prefer the more brownish rustic bronze look for the faucet and other bath accessories. I may have to have the drywall patched and just go with a standard TP holder which can be found in more finish choices....See MoreArlosmom -- ?s about your powder room/corner kitchen cabinet
Comments (4)We have something similar to this in our house too, although it uses a blind corner created by a a bedroom closet instead of a kitchen corner. (The closet runs 2/3 of the wall, and then the last 1/3, rather than being a nook in the bedroom, is used by a built-in linen closet in our hallway so that we have full-depth drawers that are flush with the wall.) Ours was designed into our house when it was built (1915 so the cabinets are ancient) but is basically just a cabinet frame set into the wall and framed in with moulding, so I imagine it would be pretty easy to do something with a cabinet box. (I'm also embarrassed to admit that I lived in our house for maybe a year before I realized that's what was going on there, too!) I think it's a super ingenious way to use corner space! (Really wanted to do this in our dining room with our new kitchen blind corner, but got vetoed since we'd have to cut into the wainscoting. Ah, well.)...See MorePowder room and Kitchen
Comments (8)I think it's unnecessary. A certain tv show seems to always make buyers note when the counters and cabs match which I think is all for show. I think I'd notice matching countertops /counters if the house were empty. Full of furniture, I don't think I would. I'd rather search out remnants for the (smaller) bathroom vanities, and I'd prioritize economy over matching items in different rooms....See MoreNeed space for Powder Room in Kitchen
Comments (30)H202 I agree, it is nice to have a powder room on the first floor as a convenience, and when you live in an urban house (very nice by the way), you sometimes have to make tradeoffs. When I had a powder room in a rather public place, I would generally tell people "there is one here and one downstairs" and people could use whichever one they felt comfortable with. (And the small one had a very loud exhaust fan). I think people kinda play it by ear, most guests are not going to jump up during dinner and go into the bathroom a few feet away, I think a lot of people would go to the more remote one during dinner. If there are a bunch of people around at a cocktail party, they may not care as much. I dunno, if you eat in diners in NYC, the restrooms are about 3 feet square and right there, it's just how it is....See MoreLittle Bird
