Powder Bath {Before & After}

Stonington Grey paint from Benjamin Moore is one of my favorite colors. I love it so much that I painted my Studio and our hall powder bath in the color.  Lately I have  been obsessing over this David Hicks Hexagon walllpaper from Cole & Sons….well it has been an obsession for quite a long time.   I recently used scraps that I snagged on Ebay for a client’s nightstands…see those detailsHERE.  So I thought it was time to rock out the powder bath and create a fabulous place for our guests to powder their nose. I did this in 4 hours this weekend, once I removed all of the switch plates and cut around the moldings things began to pick up. I think I could be a wallpaper installer, I love the distraction from reality and the overall impact a wallpaper can make!

BEFORE: Just…well….blah. My husband uses this small bathroom because there is only one sink in our master bathroom. Hey, I’m an only child so sharing is tough for me…and it’s a great thing for our marriage.  It’s not the best looking room but it is highly visible, super tiny and needed a change.

AFTER: Complete glamor and a fantastic 180!  I love love love it!! My husband just keeps saying “wow, it’s really…well, it’s nice”.  I love how a bold print can transform a stale room to something so lovely!  Now, I just need to bring in a stunning pendant light over the mirror!  I don’t think the room will look so bad with dirty cloths on the floor now!
