The new look going to make it very dull !

coco - what do you suggest? Are you saying that I should leave it the way it is?

I like the wallpaper. For a powered room I would not do tile. I say go bold or go home. Unless you need the storage the sink looks fine (maybe a bit low though). Not sure what's going on with the chair rail but I would lose that anyway.

I love wallpaper and I am totally with you about the partridge Christmas wrapping look. I would think some geometric David Hicks style wallpaper could look good in that PR. If it were my powder room, I would get a console sink instead of the pedestal or a regular vanity.

Hmmm. Going from fab to drab, eh? At least do a custom vanity that goes end to end, maybe with the same quartz you used in the kitchen. You could do a tower to the ceiling on one end if you really need more storage.

Grover - that is Cambria Brittanica in the kitchen and it was really REALLY expensive and my budget is just about blown. I have about $3000 left for the powder room so I was trying to be budget minded by using the less expensive cabinets and using more of a wow type tile to get more of a wow factor. I have to pay someone to rip the wallpaper down, put in the new cabinets, take out the chair rail, and put the tile up. That will take a lot of my budget. The special tile I love is that Dream Glass tile that has various colors but especially the blue/grays my husband likes. The ceilings are 10 ft in there so it will still feel pretty airy even if I use the linen cabinet in white.

I'm going to have take a look at some wallpaper to see what my budget can take and may have to hold off changing out the Xmas bathroom until I build up my funds.

I agree with the others, it is already fab, but perhaps too traditional for you. I would change the wallpaper to something dramatic but current, paint the lower part of the wall to coordinate with the wallpaper, update the mirror & light fixtures and call it a day. Your powder room is a gem. Removing the sink and adding a bunch of cabinetry and tile would be a mistake. Your ideas are great, but they belong in your full bathroom, not the powder room.

Options for your bath. Be creative.

A budget saving faster change would be to remove the rail and the wall paper, paint the walls a bold blue and keep everything else for the time being. The mirror would look great with blue and would be a surprise powder room, coming off the kitchen.

I’m not understanding why so much storage is needed in a powder room? You said you're getting the vanity for storage AND a linen closet for storage. What do you plan on doing in there that requires so much storage?

What color is the wall around the kitchen window? Beautiful kitchen, btw.

Keep it the way it is but move the chair rail up 6-8" so it clears the pedestal sink. Put white wainscotting below it.

Since you are at the lake, would you consider a new wallpaper in watery blue/green colors, skip the tile and save money there? Your tile close-up is interesting and pretty, but could look boring and gray if it is the same tile that you have shown under the linen tower picture. Not being a decorator and being a practical person, I understand if you need a place for beach towels. Are the towels going into the open cubby-holes in the tower? if yes, what colors/patterns are they going to be? They will be a major "design feature" if you fill two or three cubbies with them.

I think you may still be in kitchen mode and conditioned to fill every inch of space with cabinetry and tile. If your budget is limited, tiling to the ceiling is about the most expensive thing you could do. And all that tile with two separate cabinets could easily end up looking cluttered. If it were mine, I'd paint the walls and put that money toward a 60" single-sink vanity centered on the wall. That should give you plenty of storage for beach towels and paper.

Jewel box powder rooms are HAWT!!! And you've already got one! Why mess with it?

I love the current bathroom but after seeing the lake view and the kitchen, it is easy to see why it doesn't fit the home any more.

Haha I know what a powder room is for; I was more-so asking about yours in particular - or more specifically, what you were using/planned on using the space for in order to require so much storage and they’re generally for quick use. But it makes sense now, storage for beach towels!

It's true, moving plumbing is expensive, but you might make up the cost if you used a ready-made vanity. (Or you could get lucky and find a vanity with a right-hand sink.) Compare that cost to a custom vanity that leaves the plumbing where it is, as that might be less in the long run. Not to further complicate matters, but you could also go with a pedestal sink and a separate dresser or buffet for storage beside it. And it looks like you might be in for some electrical work too, since the single existing sconce is floating in the middle of the wall.

Sue, I couldn't find a long enough vanity with a single sink on the right. That's really the only reason I moved your sink to the center. But you might find a custom vanity with a tower for storage at one end is not as expensive as you think. You should at least price it. It would look a lot better than two separate pieces with space in between.

What ever you do, don't do tile the bathroom. The wood floors are fabulous.

I love that one-I had seen it in a pop up ad or something a while ago and I admired it immediately. Love the blue with the gold.

I love it. It is very masculine and attractive. You could even slide a rectangular basket with high sides onto the bottom shelf and get extra storage there too.

I appreciate wanting a change, but it seems that your "before" is a lot of people's "after" :))

Just remove the chair rail and wallpaper with something fabulous. Add a small free standing mirrored or brass storage cabinet that is no higher than the sink.

Here’s the updated bathroom! I love it!

When you take pictures the tile reflects bc it’s glass but it goes well with the paint.

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE TILE AND WHO MAKES IT? Turned out beautiful!

Jane
It is Opal Lustre made by Dream Tile and I bought it from Floor and Decor.

Not only is it beautiful but it also complements your new kitchen. Bravo!

Updated kitchen photos now that it’s finished. Remember we haven’t fully moved in yet so the kitchen hasn’t been decorated.

By the way, I forgot to mention that the bathroom cost $3500, $500 over my budget.
This included: wallpaper removal, painting, paint, vanity, faucet, tile, new hardware, mirror, light, plumber and labor.
I’m happy with the outcome!

Nice bathroom

Sue I happened upon your thread because I’m looking at that floor and decor tile for a wet bar backsplash. It looks fabulous in your bathroom. I’m dying reading all the comments of people wanting you to keep your original powder room, telling you it was going from fab to drab. 😆 You did a great job. Do you still like the tile?

Do you happen to remember what grout color you used with that bathroom tile?
