Tiny Powder Room

I think we must have the tiniest powder room in the world.

If yours is small do what I did...turn it into a little jewel box!

(Click to enlarge photographs)




Sconces from E-Bay - Mirror from Outlet Store


..........................................................................................................................................


These vintage lace curtains are also an E-Bay purchase. I adore old lace.


........................................................................................................................................



I painted a decorative design on this vintage dresser from a local Antique Mall and added vintage E-Bay hardware. I painted faux marble on the original wooden top and brushed on three coats of varnish


........................................................................................................................................


The dresser was too short, so I attached big honkin' curtain rod finials to the front and the finish carpenter built plain legs for the back. I had to tweak the color on the finials


.......................................................................................................................................


I wall papered the ceiling

Rhonda, this is fabulous! I wish you could add a close-up of the faux marble sink top and directions. (No, I don't want much :) I'd love to try it on the sink in our upstairs bath. Was it difficult to do?

I can't decide which is my favorite - it is all very lovely. I sound like my mother saying the word "lovely." I think it looks awesome and you did a great job.
