- White crown around the ceiling
Today: The powder room as is features an odd terra-cotta color palate (please keep in mind the living room is presently sage green and burgundy), replete with hand-done stenciling - including faux molding. The sink is awkward, the current mirror and lighting ugly (unless you're interested in buying them - then, wow, are they lovely, and let me know your offer!) Fortunately, the hardwood floors from the living space carry into this room. On the plus side, it's a good size for a powder room, and has a nice window.
Tomorrow - Goal for this room: Period charm, in tune with the rest of the ground floor, on a budget.
- White wainscoting - 3/4 of the way up the wall, standard size.
- Paint above the wainscoting - pale grey - similar to http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/sweetinnocence
- A traditional, simple vanity - similar to this little gem from Restoration Hardware, but ideally a lot less expensive: http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1306083&categoryId=cat1770011. I've seen where one can buy the legs/top separately, like that below, from Kohler, so that may be the way to go.
- A simple mirror - I may use something this, from Pottery Barn, or similar (below), or hang one I already have:
- A Roman blind - may get a bit more creative with the fabric (some options below), but you get the gist
- Sconces - there are so many to choose from, but I'll be aiming for budget-friendly (under $200/sconce), with a decent wattage! (Likely something similar to that pictured, right.)
