The Powder Room is FINISHED!


Do you know how happy I am to post this?!  It was 2 years ago this week that we signed our purchase agreement for this house and although we have accomplished a lot there was one room that was neglected.  The purple powder room, which ironically is the bathroom that is most used.  I have posted about this bathroom numerous times and I am sure you are sick of me talking about it.  



I passed these hand towels up last week, but they really compliment the prints and at $3.19 cents I could not pass them up. I can not believe how expensive hand towels can get!  The vase was a wedding present from my in-laws when they lived in Korea and I have been searching for perfect place for it and this is it!




Love, love my "new" cabinet! It changes the whole look of the room.





I found this fabulous Waverly print and frames at JoAnn's for a total cost of $25.00.  I did not want to just frame the fabric so I removed the glass and used satin Mod Podge to create a "canvas" look.  

Cost Breakdown:

Paint and supplies: $45
Framed Art: $25
Brushed Nickel Accessories: $43
Light: $17
Mirror: $10
Towels: $7

TOTAL: $147.00





UPDATE:

We used Behr Premium Plus in Stealth Jet for the cabinet.

  6. Thank you Thank you Thank you for sharing the brand and color of paint. That is exactly what I had in mind for my old dated bathroom. It's not purple but still in need of a face lift! I love this!

  7. Can you share how you went about doing the vanity? (Or did I miss the process somewhere else on here?) Did you just paint or did you sand off the finish first? I'd love to paint mine but don't want to mess it up either! :)
