Pretty Powder Room

Bailey loves the purple bathroom. Next to pink, purple is her favorite color! The previous owner really loved the floor in the bathroom, but the wood was kind of warped and not in good shape and with the amount of use this bathroom was going to get, we decided to honor the idea of the floor that was here and go with the harlequin tan and white pattern, but we are going to do the pattern with 8 x 8 porcelin tiles. The result is really quite wonderful!
Yet another skill added for Seth and Ben-tiling a floor! Charles was on cutting detail outside with the tile saw while Seth and Ben took turns laying tiles and running marked pieces out to Charles.

Here Ben is working the tile floor...

Here it is grouted! Doesn't it look awesome! We really like our little powder room and it is the most complete room in the house! (If only I could find the back toilet tank lid...)


Vanity is in place. This vanity lived a former life as a dresser with a wishbone framed mirror. We don't have the original mirror that went with this piece, but did use another antique mirror to go in back of it and left the old wishbone frame in place. The sink is a vessel sink with a throughly modern handle. The outlet and lightswitch covers have an antique scrollwork pattern...It really is quite the little powder room.
