Yet More Powder Room ‘During’ Photos

Silly me!

Earlier, I said I’d wait to blog more about our powder room,

once it was finally finished.

HA!  Please!  That’s not how we roll, here.

At any given moment, we’ve got dozens** of projects awaiting their completion!

**But, really, who’s counting?

* * *

Anyway, here ’tis, in its ‘during’ phase:

Pittsburgh Paint Flagstone in satin finish

Any doubts about the gray walls’ being too dark went away,

with the help of the light marble floor + white fixtures..

 

Our vanity started its life as an espresso $70 cheapie from the HOBO store . . .

. . . sort of like this:

My goal —  give it a high/low makeover

+ knock off this $599 Pottery Barn vanity:

For the ‘low’ portion of our project, G.O. gave it a few coats of white paint . .

. . . and yes, I know he’s totally giving me the stink eye!

But back to the paint we chose:

This paint self-levels (no brush strokes!) + dries to an enamel finish.

The manufacturer, Insl-x, is a subsidiary of Benjamin Moore.

We had to call around a bit

before we found a Benjamin Moore paint store that stocked it.

Next up, G.O. attached these $8 Home Depot furniture feet:

I love them!

SO.  This concludes the ‘low’ portion of our vanity makeover.

* * *

Now onto the ‘highs’ — or splurges, if you will — starting with:

 1. This beautiful marble top from Pottery Barn:

I KNOW!  Isn’t it great?

I love its looks-so-vintage ogee edge, don’t you?

Next Kay splurge:

 2. This scrumptious New York model faucet from Signature Hardware, online.

Cross handles, check.  Porcelain HOT + COLD, check!

* * *

SO.  That’s about it, for now.

I shall share the finishing touches I’ve planned, soon!

Stay tuned!
