Powder room reveal

10 years ago

I don't see that many reveals here, but I'm going to post our little powder room. It isn't a renovation; I just finished building our entire house, and the powder room is the first room that is actually 100% finished. The last thing I wanted is a house that looks brand new, so I went to a fair amount of trouble to get a vintage look. The sink is old, with a new bridge faucet. The wall sconces are also old; I just rewired them. The barn door and its rollers are old, too. I bought 10 matching vintage doors to use throughout the house. The last vintage item are the little Shenango novelty plates hanging from the picture rail. We have six altogether, each one different.

The room is 40" X 100", with 9' 6" ceiling. I mounted picture rail molding at the 8' level, and the ceiling is the same dark red as the walls to give the illusion of a lower ceiling. The toilet is a Kohler, tile is from a big box store, and the two little cabinets I custom made to match the wood work. I used reclaimed wood from the house flooring for the back of the little cabinets, and varnished it to bring out the patina of the old wood. The trim is Benjamin Moore White Dove; it's not nearly as warm as it came out in the pictures.
