New House: Powder Room – A Wholesome Slice of Life


We’ve been in our new dwelling for over 6 months now and I don’t suppose I’ve actually proven you something however the pantry (which wants an up to date image as a result of it now has a whole shelf of home made pickles that makes me puff out my chest large time each time I see it).

I assume in my head I image all these dwelling design blogs (which I’m not) with gorgeous earlier than and after footage. I hold ready to get my areas to the ultimate “after” with all of the touches earlier than sharing and due to that, I’ve nothing to indicate.

However I’ve modified my considering. Our houses are presupposed to be ever evolving areas, aren’t they? I’ve been including to ours, but in addition being cautious to solely add issues we love. I’m a agency believer that dwelling design ought to mirror the individual dwelling there. I like after I stroll in a buddy’s dwelling and it simply feels like them, you already know?

With this objective in thoughts, I’ve tried to know fashion ideas, but in addition go boldly within the path of issues that make me really feel pleasure. In any case, my household and I reside our lives on this area and I need it to really feel like us and serve us, with in the end operate trumping kind in some areas (like our espresso desk that the majority would say doesn’t “go” with the lounge however serves as a sturdy base for our chess board, shut the field, and children sitting on prime of it.

With that prolonged clarification out of the way in which, I’m excited to share with you an area that I’ve been most enthusiastic about transforming- our powder room!

I used to be excited to personalize this area as a result of it’s a room everybody will see and it’s sufficiently small so as to add quite a lot of persona to pretty rapidly. Right here’s a take a look at what it appeared like once we moved in:

I beloved the bones of this room. It’s giant window letting in loads of pure gentle. The sunshine flooring and the impartial cupboard and counter tops with a champagne bronze faucet. Nonetheless, the Greek Villa partitions made the area really feel so sterile. One would possibly argue that sterile is nice for a loo, however I used to be excited to actually lean into this area and go daring.

And daring I went! I discovered a wallpaper I beloved and obtained on the set up schedule of Mike Bradshaw (who was great to work with!), and shortly sufficient, my powder room reworked into this:

This area now makes me smile each time I stroll by it! I like the colours, the daring floral sample, and the heat and persona of the area.

Is it utterly “accomplished?” In all probability not, so. I’d like to get a framed piece of some type of artwork to go over the bathroom, however artwork is one thing I’m having the toughest time with in our dwelling. I need and want it on the partitions but in addition don’t wish to go select random items that don’t converse to me not directly, so I determine a few of that should include time.

Okay, one final earlier than and after for enjoyable; and thanks for stopping by my powder room! 🙂
