Hello all! I'm back with my first room reveal of the new house! Don't get too excited now -- it's the smallest room. 😂 And as I edited these photos I thought of all the things I still want to do in here. BUT it's functional and cute and it's "done" -- for now.
Most of our bathrooms in this house are smaller than our last home. Maybe not smaller as far as square feet, but most are broken up into two rooms so they feel a little tighter. The powder room is not as big as our old one (we had a large powder room), but it's wider which is really nice.
We went with a small vanity with an open bottom shelf. I picked a brushed brass light fixture (to tie in with our kitchen hardware) and knobs that are glass with the same finish around the edges.
**I still can't find my camera (which is starting to freak me out) and the weather has been dreary and dark so not the best for photo taking -- bear with my my friends!**
So I found a beautiful brass shelf at Target before we moved in that I planned to hang above the toilet. But I just adore this sign that I got for my son's last bathroom and thought it looked really cute in here. I kind of want to show this off more anyway:
I may try the original shelf here -- I may not. We'll see!
I didn't have the builder put mirrors in most of the bathrooms (we got a credit for all of them) because I knew I could get them cheaper and mirrors are a great way to add a personal touch. I found this one at HomeGoods:
It ties in so beautifully with the gray vanity and the brass! I tried to find a similar one for you online but DANG, capiz mirrors are expensive! Try TJ Maxx or HG for sure. :)
As with the rest of the house so far, I kept things very simple in here. Eventually this room will get a more dramatic treatment but for less than two weeks in this house, I'm thrilled with it. Here's a look at our light fixture:
I know so many of you are interested in sources for the lights and I'm working on that. I don't know specific vendors because it was through the builder, but I'm working on finding similar if not identical lights. I did find this one that is very close and just as pretty.
They installed the lights going up at first and I had them changed to point down (I just prefer that look), but you can go either way!
Everything else is stuff from the old house. It's been fun finding new spots for all of it! I will take the ring down eventually (kicking myself I forgot to ask them to leave those off too -- we prefer hooks for towels).
I do want to change the towel too but I still have piles of boxes to sort through so...priorities:
I will get the same towel, just a different color. They are Turkish towels I got on Amazon and they have a HUGE selection of colors to pick from. Love them! What color would you do in here?
I've mentioned before that almost every room in this house has a window. And I LOVE IT. I still haven't decided on what shades I'll be using so most of the windows are still bare. I've got temporary blinds on a few of them. Thankfully we don't have neighbors on this side just yet so privacy hasn't been an issue. ;)
Lest you think I have it even somewhat together less than two weeks after moving in, this is how the area just outside this shot looked till yesterday:
There's a bunch of stuff I can't find -- has that happened to any of you after moving? I'm trying not to stress about it until I unpack every single box. But that's taking awhile and there are certain items (I can't find my compound miter saw -- what?) that I need now. The entire moving process is a lesson in patience and I'm keeping that in mind as we get settled. I've actually been pretty good about taking my time to get it all unboxed.
We are still so tickled to be here and just adore this house!!
