Powder Room Simplicity
What do you get when country, modern and retro get jammed into a powder room? A feeling of freedom, peacefulness and nostalgia.
Nobody likes to be crammed into a little box when going to the washroom. This bathroom big enough for a wheelchair so it gives you room to breathe. The wall hung toilet saves the room that a toilet tank normally takes up and makes it easy to clean under it. It also prevents having to install a toilet directly on the wood floor.
The open vanity, sourced from Restoration Hardware, adds to the open space and does a great job of bringing modern and country together with it’s 6” thick Italian Crema Marble top and Aged Steel Frame. The wallpaper and mirror bring the nostalgia of that home so many of us loved as a kid.
The deep window sills (thanks to the super insulated walls) are a touch that any home can benefit from. This gives the feeling of being in a 100 year old stone house but without the uncomfortable drafts and extremely high heating bills that come with it. The floors are reclaimed pine from the Ottawa River sourced by Logs End and finished with a clear water based finish. The trim work and window sills are Butternut sourced from nearby Monkton, Vermont.
To add to the experience of this bathroom, why not open the window and take in the fresh country air and singing birds supplied by the surrounding forests?
There’s nothing but great feelings and happy faces that come out of this bathroom!
