A special thank you to Linda from Calling It Home for organizing such a fun and challenging six weeks!
I am so excited to share my powder bath with you. It turned out better than I imagined. There were definitely some days I wanted to just break out the paint roller and be done with all of this. But I think the end result was worth it.
Here is a little six week recap:
Week 3 ~ wallpaper from down under catastrophe
Week 4 ~ shopping for items, rewired chandelier, gathered ideas for walls
Week 5 ~ Backsplash was installed, sketching out my design, and painting on the walls began
Things weren't easy along the way and my dear hubby made more than his fair share of dinners. But all in all, he is happy with the end result and supports my little "job" here at Eleven Gables.
Let's start at the entryway.
As you enter Eleven Gables through the front door, there is a little door there on the left. Step right through that door and it leads you to the Powder Bath, also known as the ladies bathroom because there is another half bathroom off the kitchen/butler's pantry that the boys are banished to. :)
After the wallpaper fiasco and lack of budget left for this particular project, I decided to hand paint the walls with a mural of our property, the pond, and the gazebo. Now, you can see why I kept the vintage sink! Surprisingly, there is no blue and white (my trademark) in this room... yet! Although I considered doing a blue and white mural, I decided the gold tone on tone would be more fitting for the style I wanted to achieve here.
There are a whole bunch of photos to follow, so grab something to drink, settle in, and take a look around!
I painted this existing built-in to give the look of an old, worn antique piece. The full tutorial is on week one. The towel stand and marble bowl are both vintage.
These gorgeous, monogrammed pagoda towels from Hempstead Thread give a nod to my chinoiserie loving self. So many delightful towels to choose from for every occasion. I also have some precious, monogrammed ornament hand towels from Hempstead Thread for the Holiday season. They will be on my Christmas tour (subscribe to the blog to get updates!) and on my Instagram feed.
This gorgeous gold leaf candle is from a darling gift boutique in Edmond, Oklahoma called Desire Of Your Heart. It is the most delicious scent and goes perfectly with the powder bath! If you know someone in the OKC area, you must tell them about this boutique. Laura has many lovely gift items for everyone on your Christmas list and so many hostess gift ideas!
I wanted understated elegance when looking for a toilet paper holder. This simple brass holder achieves that I think. Not taking away from the overall design in the bathroom, but still providing a useful necessity at less than ten dollars.

And last but not least, another happy little tree and my signature... just to put a stamp of closure on this fun and exciting six week challenge.
Let's have one more look, side by side:
