Powder Your Nose!

“With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭119:10‬ ‭

Where can you use high style and drama, over the top decorating, and make a personal statement in a small space?  In a powder room, of course!  With wallpaper making a huge comeback, (personally, I’m not sure it really ever left) a powder room is the perfect spot for a colorful design without breaking the budget! When styling a powder room, I would always tell my clients, “this is the one room that your guests close the door and pay attention to their surroundings”!  Often I would have the walls hand-painted which made them totally unique to that homeowner!  I even had several ceilings gold gilded!  Talk about a making a statement!

A powder room can be the jewel box of a home…especially if it’s topped off with a small chandelier.  Because of its size, a powder room can be one of the least expensive spaces to makes changes.  Be creative and maybe get out of your comfort zone and have a little fun! Hopefully you will be inspired by these rooms that I am sharing!
