Design the Hall-Way
http://www.designthehallway.com

This powder room was added on in a space that was previously a walk-in closet in a guest bedroom. The floor is pebble laid on a 12x12 mesh backing. The walls are slate with bronze and glass accents.
I found the mirror at an antique mart for about twenty dollars. It was the perfect shape with the vessel sink.
The photos on the wall are all copies of originals that have been preserved in the family files, carefully, since the 1800's. I had them scanned and printed, so we didn't use the originals. The frames were all collected from Hobby Lobby! You'd never know it! This powder bath gets people talking!

motherbear Unless you have taller ceilings, I would pick a flush ceiling or wall mount fixture.

How do you make a photo wall work? What is it that makes this collage of photos work? The subject matter unifies them but that's about it...and that is not even completely consistent. My eye is drawn around by the frame colors, that works... If I were to attempt this, it would look too busy, messy and random. Care to share the secret? ~m »

Dana Veach I think there are several design factors at work here. First is color. As Azstrawn pointed out, the subject matter of the photos is "quiet" in color through the use of black, white, and sepia tones, thereby allowing the frames to play a heightened role in the collage. The frames and enclosed photos carry out the brown/bronze, black, and gold scheme nicely with only small touches of white or cream...which echo the "bright spots" of the sink and light sconces. Secondly, the frames and/or mats are of similar size and shape with approximately the same expanse surrounding each photo...a principle of formal arrangement in keeping with the overall style of the room. Third is similarity of texture...natural wood...carved, marled, or embossed, echoing the textures of the carved vanity, wall, and floor...and with touches of gold that reference the molding that runs along the wall above all the photos. Finally, note the way the frames are placed in "line" with each other...almost, but not quite, in straight lines...enough so to give the sense of uniformity, but not in rigid straight lines which would have been uninteresting and would have required frames of exactly the same size and shape...boring. This is in harmony with the arrangement of the slate tiles on the wall, the uniformity of which is relieved by the interspersed gold diamond tiles. I realize that this answer comes months after your question, but I hope it might still prove helpful.

Alicia This is such a neat idea.. I will start buying frames at thrift stores and garage sales and bringing pics into Photoshop and age them

Terrie Hall Hi,
I found this hand carved mesquite table at a store in Denver that is no longer in business. It was imported from Mexico. I would suggest looking for stores in San Miguel de Allende to see if a source there may be available!

Patricia Snook Wow! I've always believed that with guest rooms and guest bathrooms, you can really be so much more bold and really express your style with greater intensity than you would your own personal space!

What Houzz contributors are saying:
If you want to cover the entire wall like this, pretty much anything goes. The only thing that is uniform is the general spacing between each frame.
added by Nancy Cost to Painting Rooms with Dark Colors
Dark colors seem do-able in powder rooms, but what about those of you out there living with dark colors in bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens? How do you do it?
added by Kit Pollard to Getting Artsy in the Bathroom
These pictures are actually vintage family photos that belonged to the homeowners. I love the way they're stacked up against one another creating a truly striking bathroom space.
added by Between Naps on the Porch to Warm Up Your Bathroom with Vintage Furniture
I'll leave you with this beautiful image...another wonderful example of the kind of reproduction "vintage" pieces available for today's bathroom.
added by Jonathan Baker to Powder Rooms for Dudes
We forget that photos look good in every room in the house, even bathrooms. If you can't fill up two walls with personal photos, a small arrangement of frames will add a classic, masculine factor. The photos here blend perfectly with the antique mirror, gold trim along the ceiling and woven basket of towels.
An egg-shaped vessel on a vintage piece of furniture looks like it's been there for decades.
A petite table topped with a vessel sink makes a great vanity for a powder room.
added by Erika Ward - Erika Ward Interiors to Expand Your Options for Powder Bath Furniture
A rich, hearty carved table-turned-vanity finds its rightful place among the walls of history. A repurposed table like this one can keep an heirloom in the family and honor your stylish lineage.
5. Ancestral PhotosBefore deciding the fate of his family's estate, King stands before a wall filled with his ancestors' photos, showing a mix of Caucasian missionaries and settlers with their indigenous Hawaiian spouses and the haole (foreigner) kin who make up King's extended family. Perhaps the visual reminder of his ancestors makes King remember an important thing about legacy and inheritance: One must always try to do the right thing, which oftentimes is not the most profitable thing.
