Our Black Glossy Powder Room: Before and Afters

 
Powder Room Before and Afters
This post was originally posted back in 2016, but I’ve updated it…a lot!:)

 

Powder Room Before and Afters

 

 

Our dark powder room is one of my favorites. I love how this whole space came together!

It’s dark and dramatic-exactly what I’d envisioned.

As you can see from the one “before” photo below, that’s not how it started out.

 

Powder Room Vanity Lucite Leg Sink

 

I get a lot of emails with questions about the sink in this bathroom.

That was reason enough to write a post about this space.

I LOVE the look of our powder room sink, however, it didn’t come easy.

I’d originally seen similar sinks with Lucite legs on a few blogs and over on Pinterest. I sent some images to Muse Interiors, hoping they could track down the manufacturer. This turned out to be a dead end.

The sink I was hoping to buy didn’t exist at the time. So frustrating!

What we were able to find was a company based out of Texas, Palmer Industries. They specialize in custom sink legs, including the Lucite ones I was looking for.

Thankfully, I had the team over at Muse to help me navigate the rest of the parts needed to put together an actual working sink!

Once the legs were sourced and ordered we still needed a bowl, faucet set, vanity counter top and pipes, not to mention a plumber to put it all together. 

At the time I was surprised that a home decor company like Waterworks or Restoration Hardware hadn’t come out with an easier “ready to wear” version…but now, sure enough theres one on the market!

I found this beautiful sink over on Wayfair.

I WISH this existed a few years ago. It would’ve gotten us to the same look for less money and a lot less time! Oh well!

 

Powder Room Decor

 

Back to the powder room as a whole.

The gorgeous wallpaper is Farrow and Ball’s Lotus print, the mirror is by Carver’s Guild and the black glossy paint is Fine Paints of Europe.

I’ve listed a few more sources for the little decorative accessories at the bottom.

If there’s still some questions about this room, please let me know in the comments.

Pantone Color Of The Year: Classic Blue

Pantone’s Color Of The Year: Classic Blue

 

Pantone’s official color for the year 2020 is here! It’s classic blue!

Like many of you, I love this color.

In fact, we have so much of this gorgeous hue in our home, I thought I’d highlight some of my favorite Pantone color classic blue moments from our house here today.

Whether it’s an accent color or the main focus of a home, this beautiful shade of blue is so easy to work with.

We have different variations of this blue in our rooms. From our high gloss blue butler’s pantry (seen above) to all the accent pieces in classic blue that I can’t seem to get enough of scattered through out many rooms…

Blue works so great with white, camel, green and even black!

Weekend Wrap Up

Weekend Reading + A Marriage Story

 

 

Happy Friday. Last weekend I came down with the worst cold, so very little got done around here.

My oldest just came home from college for her winter break, so this weekend we’re (hopefully) going to get our act together in terms of getting a tree up, etc!

While I was recovering, I did manage to watch a lot of tv and movies…including A Marriage Story (sad, but very good) and Twentieth Century Woman – also very good, but a little sad!

Here’s this week’s round up of links:
