Adding a Little Color

On Sunday, Harry and I (and Alaina - who napped through most of the project) decided to renovate our half bath downstairs. While it's not the most exciting room in the house, it is one that almost every visitor will see. So, without any further ado, here is our improved power room.

 We started by replacing the builder grade mirror (yuck) with a new mirror from Marshall's. We also replaced the builder installed light and moved the hand towel rack from over the light switch/electrical outlet to next to the mirror.

We also painted the bathroom... "tangerine" up top and white down below. We are planning on adding a chair rail this next weekend. The art work that we moved from our last house works out well in this small space. Our "Orangina" poster was sort of our inspiration and prints that we purchased on our honeymoon in St. Thomas now hang above the privy (yeah, we're fancy like that) and next to the doorway.

In addition to the chair rail, this next weekend we plan on repainting our living room/kitchen a shade (or two) a lighter tan this weekend. It's going to be a big project, again, but I look forward to having a downstairs that is just a little brighter.
