Dark powder room turned bright makeover
June 19, 2013

Well, the time is here. After ten five three long years, the powder room is finally. done.
It is a GLORIOUS DAY people!! I’m seriously so excited to have this room complete, and I’m even more excited that I LOVE it so!
Let’s go back a little bit first, shall we? Pretty sure this room has been five colors now. I’ve never even shown you the before before, but here’s the before since I’ve been blogging:
It was in my dramatic days. :) I had a love of all things chocolate brown.
I painted it years back but it was still a mess – holes in the walls, only one coat and the brown was popping through, and then I started the wall treatment forever ago and it sat like this for a while:
And then I got the planking done and things started to come together, but I think a lot of you thought I was losing it a little bit:
Did you see my vision? Or did you think I was losing my mind? Or creating a room that looks “a little bit like a barn” as my SWEET husband said?
Well, he finally sees what I had in my head…now. I admit it doesn’t always come together till the very end. Part of the reason this one took so long is I couldn’t decide on a final vision for it – I had a few ideas over the years but finally last year inspiration really hit, in the form of the Bub’s art:
The whole space was inspired by the beautiful colors in this art – at first I was going to paint the walls a bright red, (as you can see above), but I realized quickly that it was going to be too much.
Instead I went neutral but that’s allowed me to really have fun with color in this space:
By powder room standards this is a big one. Don’t I know it.
Painting all those wood planks made me want to poke my eyes out:
Would I do it again?
It may be too soon to ask. ;)
It’s hard to get good shots of this room with my normal lens so I used a wide angle and it made parts of the photos blurry, sorry about that. But I wanted you to be able to see it as I do (without my contacts in, obviously):
The room also took a while because I decided last year to continue the wood floors into the room, but waited until it fit in the budget (it ended up costing $300) and the timing worked – we had to pull everything out of the room to have them done:
We went without a toilet for a couple weeks and without a sink for a couple months. A fully functioning bathroom is highly underrated. ;)
I adore the dark floors in there. They really warm up the room, especially against all that white trim. Gah. My favorite! I got that rug from Target about a year ago, maybe two? It’s been a while. I loved the colors in it, and when I realized how well the Bub’s artwork matched I knew my plan was meant to be!
It’s also hard to take pics of this room because there’s so little natural light. So bear with me on these! Here’s a good shot of all of the planking that went on in here:
Remember when I showed you the process and mentioned that I didn’t worry about the seams and lines of the wood planks matching up? Well, the board and batten trim I put over everything is the reason why:
The wood planking I used only came in eight foot lengths, so I knew I’d have to cut them down on that long wall. The b and b look was perfect for hiding all that not-so-good stuff! It’s SO not perfect people, it never is!
You can see a good shot of the wall treatment and the new trim around the doors here:
I’m SO glad I decided to rip out the trim and redo those doors!
Here’s the linen closet door with it’s craftsman trim:
It makes such a difference!! Luscious.
We used to have a pedestal sink in this bathroom:
And I loved the faucet but the sink was not my favorite. I did like it when we moved in because it was different than a regular vanity that I was used to. But eventually I missed having some storage.
So we went with the IKEA bathroom vanity instead – the only major purchase for this room (other than the floors):
The vanity and sink together came in under $300. I shopped all over the place and still found that to be the best deal for the size. I LOVE the sink – it’s so nice to have room for the soap dispenser!
I’ll blog about that whole piece more soon:
The lights are one of my favorite parts of the room – I found them at Home Depot and just thought they were so different. Kind of vintagey, I love them!:
They also match the new faucet perfectly – couldn’t have worked any better!
You can see in this old pic that we used to have one light fixture above the sink:
I always wanted to do two separate lights, I just love that look!
So that we did:
It brought the light down almost a foot and I just like the lighting better this way in here.
You can see in this area how I mixed blues and reds in the room – again pulling from the art and the rug. It’s a combo you wouldn’t think would work just talking about it, but I LOVE how fresh and pretty it is against the white! I think they work great together!
The blue is more of an aqua blue, but I also used a little true aqua in here too – in the knobs I told you about here and the vase on the vanity:
It’s really a candle holder but I think it works even better as a vase. ;)
The towel is that darker blue and the stuff near the toilet pulls in more of the red:
I meant to put those lights on a dimmer before I took pics, but it hasn’t happened yet. I’m not touching this room again for awhile! Girl needs a break.
You may recognize the boat oar from my last post. ;) It got a little redo and I stinkin’ love it:
So that area about the toilet is hard, don’t you think? I struggle with what to do there – a starburst mirror would be pretty but I already have one mirror on that wall, and do people really want a mirror there? Uh. No.
I almost hung shelves there to fill and decorate, but in the end I wanted it to be simple – I didn’t want a lot of stuff in there. The oar was a perfect fit and it totally makes me smile when I see it. :) (Although I may hang it higher since the toilet paper blocks some of it.)
I really, really adore how it all came together (and I better!!) – it’s so fresh and fun and I really couldn’t be happier. It was a TON of work, not gonna lie. Those planked walls…the installation really isn’t bad, it’s the painting. If I was smart I would have installed it all and then sprayed it before the floors were put in. But oh well…live and learn. I survived. :)
Here’s a before and after shot – the dark brown we had for years and the light, bright and colorful version we have today:
The total cost was about $1000 for the whole room, which I didn’t think was too bad considering we have hardwoods in there and a new vanity, sink, mirror, faucet, light fixtures and new walls. Oh and that was spread out over a span of about a year, so that helped too.
That’s why I take forever to do all my spaces, don'tcha know? To spread out the costs. ;) (That kind of is true actually. That and I just take forever.)
Anyway, here’s a source list for many of the items and I’ll follow up with more detail on the sink and vanity!
Rug – Target a couple years ago
Frame – Goodwill
Oar – thrift sale
TP holder – HomeGoods last year (I painted it) I just saw some more last week!
Light fixtures – Home Depot
Vanity, sink – IKEA
Faucet – Lowe’s
Mirror – Home Depot
Wood for walls – Lowe’s (see here for how to)
Any other questions? Let me know and I’ll answer them! I did a little happy jig yesterday because this room is finished and I love how it turned out. Can you believe IT’S FINALLY DONE?
Love your powder room redo ! Those walls are amazing !
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful! Love the wall treatment and the pops of color. Great job!
ReplyDelete-Erin @ DIY on the Cheap
Mouth drops open. I. LOVE. IT. End of story:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE! The knobs on the vanity are the perfect little pop. All in the details. Good stuff, Sarah! If I were you, I'd probably be hanging out in there just so I could look at it. I'm known to do that when I finally complete a project.;)
ReplyDeleteIt turned out amazing! I really love that wall treatment...all that time and effort certainly paid off big time. :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I love it all, but love it most because you took a beautiful piece of artwork your son made and turned it into a focal point for all to enjoy. Well done!
ReplyDeletehard to believe it's the same room ... fantabulous! love the oar over the loo :)
ReplyDeleteOh Sarah, it's beautiful. I love that you chose red as an accent color. It works so well against the bright white wall treatment. Congratulations on finishing what you started!!
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing transformation! I absolutely adore it!!
ReplyDeleteOmg the oar! I didn't realize it was the same one from your other recent post-too cute!! This room came out great, I love watching your home and tastes transition through the years. Keep up the great work, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful !! What about the hook you used for the towel ?
ReplyDeleteSher I forgot to mention that! I got it from Anthropologie about a year and a half ago just for this room. I hardly ever shop there but loved it and knew I had to have it for the room. :)
DeleteThis room is outstanding--brava. I really like the neutral paint on the upper walls. Do you remember the name or number and maker of this paint? TIA Judi
ReplyDeleteThank you! The color is called Agreeable Gray by Sherwin Williams, you can see more about it here: http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2013/05/powder-room-paint-with-ez-twist.html
DeleteIt's just beautiful and I know you're glad to have it finished.
ReplyDeleteChristy @ Creating a Beautiful Life
This turned out so AwEsOmE! As you posted here and there about the room, I became interested in the planking and thought about this for my powder room....not sure I want to do all that painting though! Love the vanity, the mirror and the light fixtures! Love the oar and your son's art just melts my heart!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Sarah! SO worth the wait! I absolutely love it - so bright and fresh! I also love that your son's artwork was the inspiration - that just makes it even more fun. I can't believe that vanity is from IKEA - I never would have guessed - it looks so custom! And that adorable oar - perfect! Well done!
ReplyDeleteWow! The powder room is fabulous! Very fresh and happy feeling!
ReplyDeleteGreat work and worth it!
Your new powder room looks fantastic -- I am impressed with all the work you did! I've never tried anything that extensive on my own!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so much bigger. Love the red and teal/blue combo. Isn't it nice when you can complete a room?!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet! So much more bright and cheery :) xo Kristin
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I looked at those same lights for our powder room. Love how light and bright it is (says the one who just painted her powder room dark gray...).
ReplyDeleteA really dramatic change! It looks amazing! Such a beautiful bathroom!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I really really love it!
ReplyDeleteIt is fabulous! I love it! Clean and fresh and fun! What more could you ask for?
ReplyDeleteYou definitely should be very happv Sarah, love it too! My most fave detail is the paneling for sure, and the pops of color you chose!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a difference! I love the new look- so fresh and bright and fun. The colors works so well together, and I adore those light fixtures. The walls are gorgeous. I'd say you hit it out of the park! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely powder room! It is so bright and cheery. You did a fantastic job!
ReplyDeleteI love the walls! And the oar looks GREAT!
ReplyDeleteLove this SO much! I love the paneling, all of the white, and the red and aqua! And the rug! And the oar! I know this must have been a lot of work, but it looks beautiful! Great job!! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! It might just be one of my favorite rooms of yours. I love the clean, crisp white walls and vanity with the dark wood floors and the pops of colors. Beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome room make-over! I love what you did...every detail even down to the toilet handle! Great job! Kudos!
ReplyDeleteDaaang, that's a big powder room! Ours is probably less than half that size. Love the color choices and the paneling on the walls. Very chic and just lovely!!
ReplyDeleteWay to go!! It looks terrific.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE everything about this space. All the pops of color, the wood-clad walls. THE OAR! Fabulous job, my friend!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Awesome idea. I love the depth and detail that the horizontal planking adds. Pinned it :)
ReplyDeleteOh, it turned out fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteWow - I love LOVE LOVE it! We have that same rug from Target, and it seems to be a total crowd pleaser when people come over! Question: painting the wood planking and b&B - would you recommend painting or priming it BEFORE you nail it to the wall now that you've completed the whole thing? Or is poking your eyes out painting it on the wall really the only way to do it?
ReplyDeleteAshley good question -- for paneling like this I say paint after. You'll want to get into all the little areas between in the tongue and grooves. :)
DeleteI LOVE THE FINISHED ROOM! Sorry - I had to shout, too :). I've been following the powder room saga from practically the begining. AND I pinned it as well 'cause it's so stinkin' gorgeous! Way to go, girl!
ReplyDeleteLooks so good! Just an idea, could the oar hang horizontally and have towels hanging from it?
ReplyDeleteIt's too long to fit the other way in that spot but love that idea!
DeleteUmmm....this looks AMAZING!! Way to go girl! It's truly gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteLove the wood planked wall and the board and batten trim!! Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL! Your son's art top it off!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous -- love it!!
ReplyDeleteI think this is my favorite room you've ever done- and I love all of your rooms! Great job! It's beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI love the red pop of color! I too went with a neutral paint color and i love it. Love your paint color too. Looks very similar to mine. The art work is pretty awesome too.
ReplyDeleteI love the pops of red too. That rug and artwork are beautiful. Great job.
ReplyDeleteSeriously amazing! I LOVE everything about it, especially the walls! Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteHi! I LOVE the Home Depot lights. We just bought our dream home and we're about to move in....can you give me the item #(or SKU) for the lights? Please and thank you! - Decorating Damsel
ReplyDeleteSusan I linked to them in this post: http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2013/07/ikea-vanity-and-more-powder-room.html
DeleteLooks awesome and like alot of work! When you hung the lights did you have an electrician re-wire for two or is there a ways to hang two like that from one light?
ReplyDeleteYes we did have him do it -- it took him no time at all but it was over my head. :) We had to do a tiny bit of drywall patching too.
DeleteOh my, I absolutely love this!!
ReplyDeleteWell done it's fabulous. Love your blog :)
ReplyDeleteI love how the planking looks with the frame. lovelovelove
ReplyDeleteI very rarely comment on blogs, but this is P E R F E C T! I LOVE the contrast of the neutral walls and vanity with the touches of bright color, the planked walls, and especially how your son's art is the focal point! Great job.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!! Wowie wow wow!
ReplyDeleteI mean seriously?! You are awesome Sarah! To see what it looked like before, and now is amazing. I would never have thought to do the b&b trim over the top of the boards. Genius! You truly have an eye for design. I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt is absolutely gorgeous. Stunning in fact. I don't know how you can be so patient and wait when you find all these bits in different places. If I saw something I loved I'd haul my bum to the next place to find the next missing link and and have to get it done now..right now. OCD is murder and it would end up looking like a 5 yr old did it.
ReplyDeleteI shall learn to be patient. Next time.
Ha! Dawn that made me laugh -- sometimes I wish I WAS like that so projects wouldn't take me so dang long!!
DeleteLooks great! I was not so sure about the wood planking but now that its painted it looks really good!
ReplyDeleteWow! That really looks great! I kept looking on here to see updates of the bathroom and when you said it was almost done but the planking corners weren't yet covered, I seriously thought it was going to stay that way...and I had my doubts. But I just figured it was a new trend I didn't know about. :) It really does look so good!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love it! The oar is too cute!
ReplyDeleteI SO love it, Sarah! And the oar is perfect! I'm so drooling over the whole room right now. Very fun.
ReplyDeleteOMG - what a gorgeous reno. You've totally re-inspired my bathroom reno to look at such a clean color palate like this one!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS! I LOVE it! It looks awesome!!! I really do love everything about it. I agree that the oar should be a tad bit higher so you can see every bit of it's fabulous-ness! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great, beautiful and simple.
ReplyDeleteThe visual simplicity of your design is so refreshing. It's light and bright, and he colorful wall print and rug are perfect accessories. This one will be bookmarked for sure!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I love it all sooo much! I think my favorite is the light fixtures. They're amazing! But I really do love absolutely everything. Great job. I bet it feels so good!
ReplyDeleteIt really is so fabulous. My favorite parts are the wood planking and the light fixtures. Everything ties in so well...great job!!
ReplyDeletereally. really. beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job! The paneling is so good and the room is so light and bright. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteVery nice we continue to work on our guest/hall bath makeover, one more step just completed. Now the only thing I really need to do is replace the vanity counter and maybe paint the vanity too and I'd really like to cut the over toilet cabinet down to make it more shallow. It would still provide storage but wouldn't stick out so far. Is that doable? Crazy? I think they should recess those over the toilet cabinets into the wall 3 inches - it would make them so much more attractive and you'd have the same storage - note to self if I ever build a house and install those type cabinets again.
ReplyDeleteI love that idea actually! :) That's another reason I didn't do shelves above the toilet -- even shallow ones felt like they would stick out too far.
DeleteIt looks fabulous! Love the colors, the white planked walls (and yes, I did wonder when you were putting those up), the oar, the vanity - it came together beautifully!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! So light and bright! :) Congrats on finishing!!!
ReplyDeletesparrowathome.blogspot
Ooooh, aaaaaah!! Nothing better than original art from your cute kiddo as inspiration! Ikea would be very proud! :)
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love, love, love, LOVE IT! It looks amazing and so worth all the trouble (hee, hee). The white planking is just perfection in that room against the dark floors. You did good!
ReplyDeleteBarbara at Chase the Star
Um yes, it's frigginawesome.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You did an amazing job. I love walls. Board and batten trim is my favorite!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! It looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteSarah, it looks amazing!! I will be starting a big project in my entryway soon....just in case you want to help!! ;)

It looks great! The planked walls are such a great effect. And I love the artwork -- personal & colorful.
ReplyDelete- Lora @ Craftivity Designs
I love it! The walls, trim around the doors, vanity, colors...just all of it. I'm big on baskets on top of the toilet area, too. It's a great place to store tp, candles, soaps, and my not so pretty lysol wipes. I have three boys, need I say more? ;)
ReplyDeleteIt came out so great!! Totally worth the wait! And I'm in love with what you did with the oar, nautical striped perfection!
ReplyDeleteDitto all of the positive comments above! It looks fantastic. I love love the light fixture! I have been planning a redo of our powder room and may try some of your ideas. I also appreciate that you do things slowly and within a budget. It can be frustrating to read blogs where everything seems perfect, expensive and done immediately. It is so refreshing to read your blog. Thank you for sharing. I also really appreciate all of your other honest posts concerning family and so on. I can relate to so much of it. You are creatively inspirational and emotionally encouraging. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove it, love it, love it! Especially those plank walls and the Home Depot lights. Where did you get the black handle for the toilet? So cute! Bub's artwork makes it all perfect. ~ Donna
ReplyDeleteThank you Donna! I blogged about that here: http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2013/04/its-little-things.html :)
Deletedaaaaayum!!!!! that looks amazing! seriously I would be doing the dang fox trot if I had results like that in my crib. nice work! for reals. you brag on and on about that husband of yours (and rightfully so) but please tell me the man has a blog too where he brags on and on about you...cus he totally should!
ReplyDeleteI love it too, Sarah! It brightens things up so much and I love the splashes of color. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI have to redo two bathrooms this year and I can't let it go past the deadline. So thanks for listing all your resources and prices. It's really helpful. Oh, and by the way, the powder room is stunning. I'm so impressed by your persistence to complete the planking. That's one of those jobs that sounds quick but in reality it's a time suck. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite spaces you've ever done, Sarah! BEAUTIFUL job!!!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love, LOVE IT!! Please come over and plank my bathroom walls!! :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!! It may have taken a long time, but it was worth it!! It is so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteRIDUNCULOUS. It's amazingly fantastic!!! I can't imagine painting all those planks... it was definitely work it, girl!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I really love the rug you found and the colors you picked out of it to highlight and, coincidentally, goes beautifully with your son's artwork. Sort of reminds me of Van Gogh's Sunflowers...
ReplyDeleteI love it! I love the rug, the floors, the vanity. I spotted the oar right away!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out absolutely gorgeous!!! Way to go all the way to the end and make it so beautiful:)
ReplyDeleteWow, your bathroom looks amazing! Well worth the wait. I have been following your blog for about a year and a half and I just love your house, you are such an inspiration. I have been spray painting everything in sight lately. I recently started by own blog and have been really enjoying it. Great job again.
ReplyDeleteTammy @ thecoloreddoor.blogspot.com
Oh, my heavens! I love it! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! What is the wall color?
ReplyDeleteThanks Brooke! It's called Agreeable Gray by Sherwin Williams.
DeleteAdore, adore, adore it ALL! It's perfect!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! I can't believe that's the same room! Love the planking on the walls!
ReplyDeleteYour powder room looks great! I love your oar as well. I have an oar that washed up on the shore at the lake years ago. It had "Skipper" written on it in a child's handwriting and part of the top was broken off. I didn't want to cover the name but finally painted it very much like yours. My painters tape took off a lot of the base color but I love the distressed look. Mine is just propped up in a corner. Thought of adding some hooks or knobs and hanging it horizontally but may hang it like you did. Love it!
ReplyDeleteSarah, love the powder room redo, wow it looks gorgeous. I hadn't seen the planked walls and I love how it turned out. The colors and oar are perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the wall treatment!!! It's so pretty and different then other board and batten walls I have seen. Makes me want to do the same to my bathroom but I think that I'd be like you and take forever to complete it..I'm a procrastinator at heart :)
ReplyDeletethis is fab-u-lous!! love the walls - the color scheme - the vanity - everything! so so pretty!
ReplyDeletePhenomenal! And so inspiring. Thanks for sharing. You did a fantastic job tying it together. I really like the details - walls, oar, lights, rug, TP holder. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI liked it better when the wood was natural and barn-like but that's just me...
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteGreat looking, it seems so fresh and clean! What color of paint is on the walls? It looks like a good neutral.
Thank you Janet! It's called Agreeable Gray by Sherwin Williams.
DeleteGorgeous, love it especially the woodwork! also, Thank you so much you have given me so many wonderful ideas!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! Love the walls :)
ReplyDeleteThe bathroom is gorgeous (as all your DIY projects turn out)! I'm now changing my ideas on my half bath makeover. I thank you; my husband however will not. LOL
ReplyDeleteJust wondering though? Did you, or will you tell some detail as to how you then did all the trim, including around plug outlets. I would very much appreciate it! Thanks & once again, you've done outstanding work/decorating/remodeling.
Thank you Jennifer! I did a post about the door trim here: http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2013/04/diy-craftsman-door-trim.html
DeleteI didn't mention the plugs but I just use a jigsaw to cut the wood around those. Also, you'll want to use spacers to pull the outlets out so they are flush with the wall. I blogged about that here: http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2010/06/beadboard-backsplash.html
What a great powder room! We just gutted and re-did ours too. I am in the decorating phase trying to figure out what to put in such a tiny room but I don't want it to look bare. My hubby put two shelves above the toilet (they will never come down now) and I love your oar idea better now!! lol
ReplyDeleteAnyway, gorgeous!!
What a fabulous powder room!! I have been trying to fully decide what to do with mine. We gutted it, put new tiles, new vanity and bead board walls. But beyond that I am not wowed, now I have some ideas :)
ReplyDeleteso lovely. your talents just SHINE with this redo. Fab! we're moving into a new place this weekend (gasp!) so its fun to dream about the bathroom possibilities. another awesome redo! high five!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great!! Good job!
ReplyDeleteSarah, this turned out amazing! You had an incredible vision for this room and I'm glad you stuck to your guns because it's wonderful! Love the oar, too...so fun!
ReplyDeleteI want to live in your powder room!! lol
ReplyDeleteWe are finishing up ours right now (why does it take forever?). And I love the finished but the rest just hasn't wowed me. Thanks for some great decor ideas that I can't believe I didn't think of ;)
Oooo! I love how it turned out. Such a lovely fresh new look. This really makes me want to redo my powder room--but first I've got to finish the kids rooms, the master bedroom, and the library...sigh...
ReplyDeleteWow! You did such a great job! The wood plank wall really makes a statement.
ReplyDeleteI'm new here, but I love your blog! I'd love it if you'd come check out my blog sometime! :) http://practicaldecor.blogspot.com
I absolutely LOVE this bathroom! This has finally given me some ideas about how I want to renovate our bathrooms. I was also curious about where you got the flusher on the toilet. Also, about the light fixtures, I have been curious if you have to rewire to change what kind of fixture you put up there. I have one that has 3 light bulbs now and was curious if I changed it to one with 2 if it would have to be rewired or not...
ReplyDeleteThank you Ana! Yes we did have to have someone do that. If you know electrical work it's not a hard thing, it was a quick job for him. We had a little drywall patching to do too. :)
DeleteWhere did you find your soap dispenser?
ReplyDeleteFrom Target! :)
DeleteSarah, I am smitten with this room!! Did you use 1x4's for the battens or something different? What size/type of wood did you use for the battens and the topper/railing?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Allison! The battens were all primed 1x4s and the baseboard was 1x6 I believe. :)
DeleteCan you come to my house and do this for my power room? Please :))
ReplyDeleteI have a pedestal sink too. I wish I had your talent.
Found you via a pic on Pinterest. Doesn't really matter how long it took you to complete... It's gorgeous! You have just given me an idea for my horrid wood paneled washer/dryer room. Thank you! And now I'm off to explore the rest of your blog!
ReplyDeleteAwesome redo! I love everything! Question -- where did you get the hook for your towel? I know you could probably get those anywhere, but moreover I just love the idea of using a hook there instead of a towel ring. My kids struggle with putting the towel back on the ring. I think a hook is a much better concept.
ReplyDelete
