Powder Room Makeover

Another room knocked off our to do list in the new house… our powder room! Funny how completing such a small room can put a big smile on my face. I’m totally crushing over this powder room makeover!

Powder Room Makeover

 

We started by painting the walls Oyster Bay by Sherwin Williams and then adding bead board wallpaper and a thicker chair rail. The Oyster Bay paint color looked really dark at first, which is why I added the bead board. With such a small room, I really wanted to lighten up the space!

I think my favorite find during this whole powder room makeover was the old barn framed photograph I snagged from Hobby Lobby. The colors are so perfect for this room. It was one of those things where I was stumbling around the aisles for almost an hour and then stumbled upon it on my way out the door!

To the left of the new painting we added some Gatco 20 inch glass shelves and finished them off with some greenery, candles, and some sweet smelling soaps my sister-in-law gave me.

Our goal was to take down our boring builder grade mirror (because I hate them), so we did. In its place, we added a large rectangle tilt mirror. We also snagged a new towel hook and toilet paper holder.

We decided to keep the cabinetry our dark, rich wood. It goes nicely with our hardwood flooring and really complements the green Oyster Bay paint color.

And here’s a little before and after for you…
Such a difference!

Later this week we’ll give a little more information about working with the bead board wallpaper (why we used it, the installation process, and what we really think of it!). Stay tuned!

    Love this bathroom. Actually I like just about all of your posts. What kind of mounting hardware did you use for the glass shelves.

    • howtonestforless says

      Thank you! The shelves came with the mounting hardware. Super easy, although I did use my own drywall anchors instead of the ones they came with.

    I’ve never seen a mirror like that. A tilt-mirror is super smart for the bathroom. Your entire makeover is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us at Merry Monday this week!

    Super job on this makeover! I love the Oyster Bay color. The wainscoting and shelves make such a difference, too. The whole space is beautiful.

    This looks wonderful. I first read your post to see how you installed the bead board around the bathroom fixtures and was pleasant surprised to see it was wallpaper.

    I swore I will never join in the wallpaper trend, but this is worth making an exception. Its really nice.

    Thanks for the inspiration.

    Hello, Just came across your blog and I was wondering if you made the Oyster Bay paint lighter? If so, what percentage?

    • howtonestforless says

      at

      No we did not lighten it. I think my flash makes it seem a bit lighter than it is in person. If you’re going to paint a small room though Oyster Bay, I woulc recommend lightening it just a bit! Our larger hall bath upstairs is painted the same color and seems much lighter!

    I love the shelves. Can you please tell where you purchased them and are they still available? Or who makes them. What ever information you have I would so appreciate. Thank you! Lovely room. We just redid our master bath!
