crazy to think brown

18 years ago

CEILING! Still working on our new build and dh says I have to get the powder room finished. This bath will only be used for guest while visiting. It is a very small, L-shaped room. Walk in the door and straight forward will be the mirror/vanity with two sconce lights (one to each side of the mirror). To the right of the door way sets back the toilet. It is not too tight, but a small room. My "vision" was to be more daring and different in this room than the rest of the home being it will only be used a little and by guest only. I pictured a darker, classy, but still chic room?! Hope that helps a little. I want it ornate and decorated some, but not to the point of being ghady. I did buy wall paper. It's base color is in the red family, not bright. Has a lot of subtle, light golds/yellows sort of fauxed paint like and also some small hints of brown. It looks very nice. The ceiling are 10 feet and the room seems almost column like, being so small and tall. Keeping bold in mind I had them install tall baseboards (8" or so). And the crown is two layers, stacked and very beefy. I'd say about a foot in height. So the trim will be acadia white. A nice BM off white color. The floor is Brazillian cherry. The vanity is furniture like, dark stain, black granite top. The mirror is dark stain & a little ornate. We will hang a mini-chandlier with some crystal accents. The light fixtures are some crackled finish, also kind of dark brown. The faucet is ORB. So the question of the ceiling.....finally....dh and I don't want it to be white so the crown can really POP. I was playing with golds and yellows and they just aren't looking nice at all. My siter held the wallpaper up for me last night and the brown just kind of popped out at me. It is such a small area and I'm thinking the brown might just "pull" the ceiling down, give that intimate, classic look to the area. I thought perhaps a white ceiling medallion, faux painted with some brown glaze would be neat. Let me know if you think this could work or if I'm thinking a little crazy now! Thanks for reading all of this, trying to "paint" a good description since I have no pictures to share.
