The high natural light behind the toilet as well as the frosted glass in the door help fill this small powder room with natural light. The built-in bookcase is carved out of the underside of the stairs. The small salvage sink, wallpaper, antique soap dish, and repurposed snowshoe as the mirror help make this snug room quite elegant.

This powder room takes advantage of the space underneath the staircase on the other side. A recessed bookshelf follows the angle of the staircase to provide more storage for the client's beloved books. The sink, faucets and accessories were all part of the client's collection of salvaged fixtures. A snowshoe provides a quirky and appropriate frame for a mirror, with the forest background provided by Cole and Son's "Woods" wallpaper.
On the other side, a shelf for the homeowner's many books backs up to the barware cabinet. Tour the rest of this antique CapeMore:How to Turn Your Closet Into an OfficeSpace Saver: Raise the BedDreamy Window Seats
I've saved the best for last. Some people might have tucked guest towels into this powder room shelving unit; these homeowners loaded it with books.
