Black Tie Bathroom Transformation

I'm extra excited to share this post today!  

• One because I actually get to check an item off my 2012 to-do list.  
• Two because I want to encourage everyone to follow their design bliss (Just Do It girls!).  
• And three because I think this project turned out more fabulous than my wildest dreams!

You might remember my uninspiring old powder room...

 

Well I finally took the plunge and painted that baby black after thinking about it for oh, only 8 months!  Check it now!

It's unbelievably difficult to take a good picture of a small, windowless room that's painted black.  But this shot with the lights off gives you an excellent idea of what it looks like in real life.

Along with painting the whole powder room Cracked Pepper by Behr, I also added a silver mirror that I found at Goodwill and crown moulding.

Above the towel rack I added two photos that I took when we were in Hawaii last year.  The white mats help to break up all that black.

I also hung two white picture ledges above the commode and accessorized with topiaries, towels and a fun printable found here.  I kept the accessories warm and natural to complement the wood vanity and floors and balance the black.

A little side by side comparison...

I think the powder room just might be my favorite room in the house!  That sounds a bit weird but it's true.

So got any bold design ideas you're hesitating to implement?  Go ahead and do it!  I give you permission to make magic in your house!

Thanks for visting!
