DIY powder room design…

There’s another line in that song about “trippin in the bathroom.” And that’s pretty much what happened here too, because this was our “royal” powder room when we moved out here to our house in the country…

Complete with broken vinyl roller shade, and luxurious linoleum, anyone who thought this lavender loo was staying “as is” was STRAIGHT trippin.
Before we go too much further, here’s a little video synopsis of the powder room design and transformation:
Powder room design and renovation process…here goes!







We had the sink professionally refinished. Set us back about $200, which, when all was said and done, was about what we would have paid for a new sink. And in my opinion, this one was just so much cooler.






All in all, we may not be royal here at the Heathered Nest, but we feel like we kind of gave this room the royal treatment on a peasant-ish budget. And we’re thrilled to say that this little pint-sized powder room has been a big hit in the print world! It was published in USA Today’s HOME magazine,


If you’re curious, YES, that is Miss Mustard Seed, in OUR john 🙂

And now our wash-room work-over is complete. So, come on over Lorde…promise you won’t be trippin in this bathroom now. We’re just stylin’ and profilin’ up in here.

I love this powder room! I’m in the process of updating ours in a similar way. I am having the hardest time finding a suitable transom window. Where did you get this one and what are the dimensions of it and the pocket door you have here? Thanks!
Heather says
Hmmmm…we got it online at a place that only sells transoms I believe. I will try to find an invoice so I can give you more details on that and the pocket door Selena!
