Since my last post featured my mom’s new powder room ceiling, which was inspired by *MY* powder room’s beadboard ceiling, I thought that i was only appropriate that for Frlashback Friday this week, I feature my entire Powder Room Makeover.
I originally updated our bathroom because I wasn’t thrilled with the muddy colors. The walls had a weird faux finish that had a fuzzy texture and the workmanship was shoddy:
I also didn’t like the heavy black and silver mirror (it just wasn’t my style):
So for my makeover, I painted the lower half of the room the same color as my trim (Glass of Milk by Martha Stewart/Home Depot) and the top half was Soft Chinchilla (by Benjamin Moore) and then installed faux panels using chair molding and frame molding (the full tutorial can be found here). I painted the mirror to match and I installed some basket shelves:
Of course you can’t forget the beadboard ceiling that inspired my mom:
And here is the final result:
It is so much lighter and brighter, and the trim work is nice. I'm not sure I'm going to leave it this way forever (it has been more than 2 years now) but it is still better than the peach fuzz walls that were there originally!
