Done! Updated photos of mudroom/powder room
Comments (15)Thanks! I love how bright and crisp the board and batten looks, and it definitely gives you a lot of bang for your buck. Pipdog, please post pictures of your board and batten in your entry foyer. I'd love to see it. I got the rug on Overstock. It's an indoor/outdoor rug and works great in that space bc it's really low maintenance and a nice size. The one thing that I messed up on with the rug is that it's actually slightly too big for that space. Well, it fits exactly, but for the air vent, which I forgot to account for. I don't know why our builder made some air vents flat and flush to the ground and others like the one in the powder room where they stick up out of the floor. Anyway, if you can see in the bottom left hand corner, the rug curls up slightly against the air vent. I've been trying to come up with a solution for this, including binding the rug to make it a tad smaller. Oh well. Funny you should mention Jonathan Adler. I love his design style, his happy chic aesthetic, and so many of his products....See MoreBoring guest room makeover is DONE!
Comments (34)Aw, you guys are so sweet! Like always, I'm never sure how my own mix of second hand finds and twisted sense of humor is going to read to others. I try not to make it look like a schizophrenic flea market, and I can go matchy if I'm not careful. This was a fun room to work on, and like DH said, "If you don't like it, close the door!" Work In Progress, that butterfly quilt came from the clearance section of the Walmart website. LOL! I also saw it listed on ebay. The drapes are from Penneys, the "Supreme" line, in the cream color. The irony is that those were the very first drapes I was going to buy for that room, but I talked myself out of it, went through a dozen or so others, none of which looked right, before I went back and bought these. Lesson learned. The funny thing about this room redo is that it's mostly all the same stuff, just rearranged and enhanced. Who would have thought it could look like this? Paintergirl, you made me LOL! And I thought of YOU when I was working on this project. I was talking to my Mom, and told her I was painting that table and chair. Mom- "That's nice. What color are you painting it?" Me- "Hot pink." Mom-"Oh...WHY?" Me- "I bought a quilt that has some hot pink, and I think the room needs a little color, so hot pink it is." Mom-"Oh...(long pause) Well, you can always repaint it a normal color later."...See MoreSmall powder room 97% done!
Comments (44)I absolutely love your room. The color is beautiful and one I would choose. I would definitely put the trash can next to the toilet. But remember it doesn't have to be just another ugly trash can, think outside the box, I had to do that for some tight spaces. I used a beautiful tall metal French flower bucket for one, they come in all colors and even artistically painted. And an antique crockery jug in another tight space, and they add a decorative touch with interest since they are seen from the door. But other options are planters, they come in all shapes, sizes, and colors and materials. That powder room is too beautiful for some random regular trash can lol!...See MorePowder Room Project
Comments (1)I suggest a small storage cabinet, if you can find one that won't crowd the corner. I have NO storage space in my tiny powder room, so I have a standalone stainless TP holder that stores rolls, too. From Ballard Designs:...See More
