When it comes to small
\nrooms, it’s time to go big or go home!! <\/i><\/p>\n

\n

“Why does everyone call the little bathroom by the kitchen a
\npowder room?” The question, like most
\nthat my 7-year old son asks, came a bit out of nowhere, yet I could understand the
\ninquiry. This whole notion that the sole
\npurpose of our main floor bathroom was for women to
\n“powder their noses” seems a bit ridiculous to almost anyone, much less a
\nsoon-to-be second grader who’s main interests are legos and any activity that
\ngets one’s self wet and dirty. And let’s
\nface it–we may still call it a powder room, but in fact a main floor bathroom
\nacts as so much more. Besides its
\nprimary basic function, this bathroom, located just inside the back door of our
\nhouse, serves as the go-to for bug spray, sunblock, and last-minute makeup
\nsessions, as well as doubling as our family laundry room…all within a 6X8′ box.
\nIt not only serves the needs of our family of five, but a houseful at the holidays, the
\nneighborhood crew during backyard barbeques, a birthday party’s worth of
\nsugar-hyped children, and everything else in between. So how do you turn a very basic necessity
\ninto something stylish and interesting? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"before<\/div>\n
Before: The overuse of dated wallpaper didn’t lend much style to this much-used space on our main floor. Also, the window treatments made the room very dark and gave it a cave-like quality.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

The natural tendency would be to stay neutral and safe while
\ndecorating a small space with some big obstacles (mainly a stacked
\nwasher\/dryer) so that everything might just blend and disappear. But for me,
\nthe solution to this type of decorating dilemma is to go big and make a
\nstatement. With this in mind, instead of playing it safe
\nI decided to choose a bold palette of colors that deviates from the hues on the
\nrest of the first floor to make this little room feel like a bit of jewel box
\nall its own. My inspiration: neapolitan ice
\ncream. J<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"pr<\/div>\n
After: the new color scheme makes this feel like a special space, and instead of small, multiple prints, the bold stripes make much more of a statement. These stripes are painted, which takes some time and patience, but is well worth it for the end result. One tip–always go back over the edges of your stripes with a small detail brush…it makes all the difference!<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

With this confection as my inspiration, I went ahead and
\npainted the upper portion of the walls chocolate brown, bucking the conventional
\nwisdom that feels that dark colors make a space seem smaller. My results were the opposite–the dark color
\nrefreshes the room and makes it seem much wider than it did with the 80’s
\nseashell motif wallpaper that we had inherited from the previous owner. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\"pr<\/div>\n
Using white and beige in the stripe pattern make the basic parts of the room like the molding and the toilet fixtures play nicely together. A small room like this needs just the right amount of accessories so to look coordinated but not cluttered, so its fun to take time to make some unique additions. Case in point–the wall hanging, which was hand-painted using stencils, inspired by a greeting card.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Then I addressed the lower portion of the walls–with a series of stripes in varying thicknesses that brought in the rest of my color palette, including the off-white of the sink, toilet, and washer\/dryer (things I didn’t have the budget to change out currently, so when you’re stuck with something, make it seem like it is all a part of your master plan!). I love the crisp pattern this gives to the room, and the inspiration? A catalog photo that used this same type of treatment in a baby girl’s nursery. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n


<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"pr<\/div>\n
It’s easy to create luxury in a small space–just a few additions like this oriental rug make the space feel dressy and elegant. The colors in something like this don’t have to match perfectly…that way it feels like something that was collected over time.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Next I addressed the window.
\nOriginally, the window was covered with a dated lace valance and mauve
\nmicro-blinds…and at least as far as the blinds, for good reason, since this
\nwindow, uncovered, is very open to our next door neighbors and anyone else who
\nmight be walking along the sidewalk outside.
\nObviously privacy is an issue, but there was also the need for natural
\nlight, the ability to open the window, and of course, style. Because of this I went with a ringed caf\u00e9 curtain
\nin a fun coordinating fabric that can be easily opened or closed when needed,
\nbut always allows sunlight to come in the top half of the window. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\"pr<\/div>\n
The new window treatment: the only other pattern in the room besides the stripes, it helps to reinforce the color scheme, and the light it allows into the room makes all the difference.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Because of the color scheme as well as many of the
\naccessories in the room, this is a very feminine space, yet it works–I think because
\nthat femininity enhances the style and colors in the room and hopefully pulls
\nyour attention away from the big appliance in the corner. I considered curtaining off the washer\/dryer,
\nbut I was concerned floor-to-ceiling panels might make the room feel even smaller
\nthan it already is, and since laundry is done on a daily basis in this house, I
\nneeded easy access, so a curtain may have been more trouble in the end than it
\nwas worth (darn you function over form!).
\nOnce the room was completed I was actually pleasantly surprised that it
\ndidn’t seem to need to be concealed as much as I thought–just going to show
\nthat sometimes you need to see your final results before you know for sure how
\nyou vision will come together! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"pr<\/div>\n
The little details make all of the difference…these light fixtures looked very dated, but there were large holes in the wall behind them so a complete replacement would have been a huge pain. Instead, just replacing the glass shades gives them a whole different, whimsical look!<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"pr<\/div>\n
Every pretty room needs a chandelier…and this mini version from Lowes was just perfect in the newly designed space. A future project–adding detail to the painted circle the old fixture left behind to create a faux ceiling medallion.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"pr<\/div>\n
\n
Again, it’s all in the details…a glass jar full of handmade soap from the Saratoga Farmer’s Market’s Soap Lady, a handmade ceramic vase my mother-in-law made with flowers from our backyard, and a pottery wall-hanging my 11-year old daughter made in art class all work together to make a thoughtful vignette. <\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

In the end, I am very happy with my pretty pink powder room.
\n This space is fun and quirky…doesn’t
\ntake itself too seriously…but is pleasing to the eye and a place I feel good
\nhaving guests in our home utilize. So
\ndon’t be afraid to go bold in your smallest of spaces–no matter what your
\ninspiration or style might be, taking risks will always give you great results! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
