Earlier this week, G.O. assembled our powder room’s vanity:
IKEA
He gave it thumbs up for being very well constructed.
It even has the soft-close drawers!
Just to banish the IKEA-ness of it all,
methinks I’ll opt for different pulls,
hoping to trick things out a tad.
Speaking of which, the marble vanity top I ordered
is scheduled to be delivered from between 8:30 – 10:30 a.m. TO-day!
Pottery Barn
OMG — fingers crossed I’ll love the marble!
Stay tuned!

In a perfect world, our powder room would be completed
so all this happiness could be installed TO-day, too.
Instead, it currently looks like this:
Good things come to those who wait, no?
I keep telling myself that!
Meanwhile, let’s fast forward, shall we?
Here are my current wainscoting hopes + dreams for this space:
hookedonhouses.net
Since our powder room is narrow + has high ceilings,
it could have kind of a silo vibe going on.
The ceiling treatment above might be just the ticket
for a tall, narrow room — plus, it adds character
+ will give the brand, new space (carved from a former hallway)
the “always-been-there” look that I covet!
Here ’tis again:
I’d say they’ve added a small trim piece about 10″ (?) below the ceiling line
+ painted out the top wall + ceiling both white.
* * *
True to form, G.O. nixed my hopes + dreams
when I finally showed him this a.m.
“Too much white!”
* * *
No worries. He’ll love it when it’s done, I promise!
Stay tuned!

Perhaps you could drop the wainscoting down a couple of inches, giving more wall space … and if the walls are painted the right color, it could really “pop” and add some relief from the “too much white”??

Hola Kathy
Affirmative on the right paint color setting off all that white nicely. I’m thinking pale blue, just because I love it so!
Also, our powder room floor tile will be the same dark gray that flows from the adjacent kitchen (for continuity purposes), so that will look great, too!
TY for the comment!
