Powder Room After

So, I just realized that I never posted pictures of our powder room after it was painted. That was the first room to be totally finished. It's been done for 4 months now. Thanks for patiently waiting. :) I didn't put the before pictures up because it was just a white room with a sink and toilet--not blog-worthy! Here's what it looks like now. It looks really purple in the pictures but it isn't. It's a dark plum color. I think the color was Plum Wine or something like that. Terri Lowe would remember. This is the only room with a distinct theme and it's still pretty understated. It's my beach room. If I could, I would have put sand down, but the thought of the mess was more than I could handle. I have been looking for a beachy print to put in there, but haven't found the perfect thing yet. Maybe this summer I'll take the perfect picture and have it blown up and framed. Anyway... back to the powder room...



Notice the nightlight? I took a regular nightlight and hot glued shells onto the cover. The shells were ones that my Grandma had picked up on the beaches of Florida over the years. (They wintered in FL for years.) It was fun to be able to use them finally.


So I think that this rug is what makes the whole room. It's my favorite part! If I can't have sand, this is the next best thing.
