Adding a Powder Room
Comments (2)Unfortunately, you're probably not that much ahead. You'll need a 4" sanitary line to handle the toilet and most likely your washer does not have that large of discharge pipe. Plus, you'll need to vent your bathroom and your washer would not likely have been vented. So, the only thing you gain is having the fresh water in the general area. I suggest you speak with whomever is relocating the laundry for you and get an on-site opinion....See MoreAdding Color & Accessorizing Powder Room
Comments (24)Yes, keep it simple. In a little room, a monochromatic scheme is more likely to make it seem spacious. I would use a big vertical rectangular mirror with a simple frame that combines gold and silver leaf...the finish gives both coolness and warmth. I think that the effect of your wonderful wallpaper will be lost with strong colors. Think about using frosty, very light pinks or blues (I wouldn't do both), either of which could also be used with a pale, clear orchid, and white porcelain and real silver accessories...as few as you can get away with...and old linen hand towels in white (which are easy to find in flea markets and antique stores, if you don't already have them. Such a scheme would give you real elegance, which you have begun with that great paper. Think Dr. Zhivago and the winter palace...think Audrey Hepburn in a pale satin gown with pearls...think the powder room of a posh Paris hotel. And if you keep it uncluttered, it won't seem too dressy at all....See MoreWhat to do with a shower in the powder room
Comments (9)I just added a shower to the powder room on my first floor! In order to accomplish that, I moved my laundry room to the 2nd floor, near the bedrooms. This shower had been on my wish list for a long time - after a broken foot, foot surgery, and my son's knee surgery. Aging parents is another reason. My Mom stayed with me for two weeks when she was 97 - I wish I'd had this shower for her then as she could no longer manage the 13 steps to my 2nd floor....See MoreLarge laundry room or adding a shower?
Comments (5)Yup, depends on what you need. We are building a 2 story home with laundry on the main floor, but I need a 'clean room' to decontaminate from pet dander as soon as I get home from visiting friends (my husband is anaphylactic to most pets), so for us, the larger bathroom is preferred. Also look forward to using it to clean off after playing in the mud (garden!)...See Moregabbythecat
