The Powder Room

We were able to add a powder room on the first floor, which is a major upgrade to the house.  And as the smallest room in the house, I want to make it really special!  A tiny room doesn't need to be a white, boring box.  It can have lots of character.

First steps was creating a traditional, Victorian style floor with a black and white mosaic.  It's an easy to maintain ceramic floor that has lots of visual interest.


Next, Kyle added wainscoting around the room.  (We left space for the pedestal sink to get mounted)

Our painters have gotten to work and painted the trim and wainscoting.  


Next step, I added a simple stencil to the walls.  I adore wallpaper, but after stripping wallpaper for weeks on end, this will give a similar effect without the need to strip it if the owners don't like it.  It's a very simple mini print with metallic paint to give this room a bit of shimmer.


Today Nick got the faucet and toilet in.  


Next we install lighting and mirror!  Can't wait!

  1. Love the stencil! Can I ask which faucet you chose? That one looks like the discontinued one I currently have but need to replace.

    1. Isn't that faucet the best??? It's Moen's Weymouth - it came with buttons in both English and French for water temperature. I went with French since it's a Second Empire Mansard home!!! I hope the new homeowners will like them!

  2. I’ve been thinking of using a stencil on our bathroom walls. I really like the understated look of yours. Where is it from?
