The other day, I blogged about our powder room’s finishing touches.
Turned out there were so many, I had to divide them into 2 posts!
I bought this vintage towel bar several years (really!) ago,
saving it for the front of our vanity cabinet.
It’s clear glass + has a pair of chippy white metal brackets.
Part of me wanted to sand + re-paint said-same brackets,
but my desire for a less “new” re-do won out.
Meanwhile, a vintage-style scale that we had made the move:
As did my beloved NYC skyscrapers night light (from etsy):
L – R: (my personal favorite) the Chrysler Building,
the Empire State Building + 30 Rock.
Next up — our large IKEA floor mirror,
which had been in our bedroom, back in the brick bungalow:
At first, we put it in the bedroom at the Dutch colonial.
However, one afternoon I had a yen to move it to the powder room,
where it brightens + enlarges the space very nicely!
Full disclosure:
the door was supposed to be Flagstone, the same gray as the walls.
Some sort of mix up occurred, however,
+ I just didn’t have the heart to share with G.O.
I think the door is going to remain Black Magic, + I think it looks great.
Winning!
But back to my powder room “groovies”, as I like to call them.
Check this out!
When I spied this vintage map waste can online, I knew I had to have it!
I bought it from my friend, Mary’s, booth — called hello vintage.
I mean, come ON. How darling, am I right?
Who doesn’t love white ironstone?
Fiesta Ware (+ lots of it!)
