Can you even believe this is the best I could do for a “before” shot of our powder room?! That’s shameful, is what it is! But I think this photo probably gives you a pretty good idea of what was going on. I remember stripping this wallpaper like it was yesterday...ahhh, memories. Good times. The Lowdown: Walls: Cream wallpaper with red and navy stripes Floors: Faux-wood laminate Vanity: Large, dark wood vanity with cream sink {visible in the photo below} There was also a a soffit with a can downlight which hung over the sink. Look at that crowbar! We are hardcore. ;-) Well, Brian is. This is how it looked for over a year...down to the studs, folks {and not the good kind}. OOOF. Here are some after shots, and you know what? This is one of my favorite rooms in the house {yes, I know that's sad!} It was totally Brian's idea to do the vertical boards and the double crown molding...I have to admit, when he tried to explain it to me I didn't even understand what he was talking about, but I was SO READY for a bathroom on the main floor that I probably would have been OK with going back to striped wallpaper and stencils at that point! We still need to add the toilet paper holder and the towel rod,
plus some black & white sketches, but otherwise...that's a wrap! Project Summary Floors: Brazillian Cherry hardwood from K&K Floors Paint: Ralph Lauren Pale Gray Sink and Toilet: Lowe's {Kohler} Mirror and Lighting: Restoration Hardware Have a great weekend! :-)
