Laundry & Powder Room Combo

 Happy Happy Monday Y'all! I hope everyone had a restful and fun weekend.
  Thank you to everyone who kindly left notes on last weeks post about the living room. I made a few new blog friends and I was able to visit blog friends that I hadn't visited ever since the move and remolding took place. I have really missed everyone!
As promised from last Monday's post today I would share the room behind the kitchen. Its our laundry room and powder room combo.
Lets go I am ready to show you, so come on in....
 Before picture, the remolding consisted of replacing the flooring and duck covers, doors, lock sets, hardware, wood trim, paint, pluming, sink, faucet, electrical and potty. I guess you can say everything was replaced.
 During construction, the new floor being laid with travertine tile.
 The door leading into the laundry room and powder room was replaced with a glass door, I must tell you although it looks really cool to have the glass in the door...you have to remember when its closed, cuz well I kind-of ran into it, and hurt my nose...yep I did, not looking and "BAM" "SMACK" right into the door I went.
Of course I blamed Gary, he was the one that closed the door and didn't tell me, so how was I to know it was closed, Right! That's my story.......
We do have plans to have a stain glass made to put into the glass opening.
 Lets go in and the door is OPEN...I'm nice enough to tell you when the door is open or closed..hehehe

 Originally there was a sliding pocket door into the powder room, it did not close well so we thought about a sliding barn door. That was the ticket! For hardware we used a fence door handle. The door to the left leads out to the back yard.
 In the summer when the kids are over swimming this is going to be wonderful, no more running through the house wet when they have to go potty. They can come in this door and use the powder room.
 The door to the right leads to the garage.
 Bead board paneling and trim brightens up the space. Art by Catherine Holmen 
 A closer look at the barn door hardware. Also the curtains you see to the left are revisable, I made them with a bright cheery floral on one side and other in polka-dots. They are simply rolled up and tied with a bow.

 I bought a new washer and dryer for this space, the folks that purchased our last home also bought the washer and dryer.
 The paint color we selected is called Ocean Air by Benjamin Moore.


 Custom wood trim around all doorways.
 The before photo of the sink and cabinet. It had been designed and built on a angle, also it closed off the room. It was a bit weird.
 New sink with all shiny chrome fixtures. The sink has an industrial look to it. It gives more openness to the powder room and is working out great for us.  Also the lock we used is a latch used for fencing, its a simple and inexpensive way for privacy  while in the powder room.

 New potty is manufactured by Toto. It fits very nicely behind the door. We did not want to see the potty sticking out into the doorway. It's tiny but effective! LoL
 Before photo of potty.
 After photo, the Toto potty has a slightly rounded tank and a self close lid (perfect for the boys)lol 
The sea-shell wreaths I made a few years back and was able to re-use them in the powder room.
 
 Another before photo, the toilet paper holder was set into the wall now its  a prettier more updated holder.
 The mirror with frame dresses up the powder room and the lighting we choose was two crystal pendant lights in green that are halogen.  They have such a pretty glow at night. I wish I could have captured it better for you.
 One of my favorite pictures hangs in the powder room. To bring a smile to everyone who see's it.
So that's it the tour of the Laundry & Powder Room behind the kitchen.

Enjoy your week, see you all next Monday!

Okay, that was the most fun I've had looking at someone's laundry room and bathroom! Ha-ha! That barn door is just way too cool, and I also love the curtains you made for the door and the new hanging lights in the bathroom. All of it is just perfect and so lovely! Thanks for the visits and comments.

Jan Hermann said...

Loved your Living Room and Kitchen post from last week and I see Shiloh has grown alot!! Everything is just so pretty!

Your Laundry and powder Room are beautiful too. I love the paint color, the barn door, the travertine and thinking about the fact that you didn't want to see the toilet from the hallway (and that it's self-closing too).

Great job!

Jan

Kim said...

Dearest Elizabeth and Gary,
You almost went back to the honeymoon stage with a complete new home. So well though of all the details that make sense for daily use. Love this powder/laundry room. Very well done.
Enjoy it together and just in time for summer around the corner!

PS in The Netherlands my husband used to have a Travertine tile floor as well. I had the windowsills made out of Travertine tile...
