Easy Powder Room Prettification

My little downstairs powder room was in need of a some life – and some storage!
So I took this old 4-square shelf…

mixed a little Old White and Duck Egg and ended up with this.

The color turned out to be the prettiest sea foam green – I just love it!
It is the prettiest little thing to look at while using the bathroom washing your hands.
Plus I have storage for diapers, TP, q-tips and my Grandmother’s vintage hand towels.
So happy with the result!

Buffet Makeover in Old White and Duck Egg

Now that I have started painting and revamping furniture…I can’t seem to stop myself.
(My husband has started calling me Sir Paints A Lot. Adorable, eh?)

Here lies my boring old buffet (R.I.P) in good ole black laminate. This was the first piece of furniture my husband and I bought together; we needed more storage for all the kitchen crap wares we registered for. She has been a good girl, served her purpose well, but it was time for a rebirth!

Yup, you guessed it! It wouldn’t be a post these days without the help of our chalk paint!
Two quick coats turned this black laminate silky white in 1 hour!

For the frame I used Old White. For the doors, Duck Egg.

I did the lightest of light distressing on this one. I just can’t have it too “finished” looking. Not my style.

Helloooo, gorgeous! Once this gal was done, I just couldn’t stop staring at her. So I did what any great decorator would do: moved it into the darkest, dreariest hallway in America.
(With terrible lighting to boot! Thank God we are moving in  days!!)

I cannot wait to find just the right spot for this piece in the new digs!
