Tweeking the Powder Room

I painted the powder room navy last year. 
I wanted to lighten it up a bit and thought I would do wallpaper beadboard.    I got all the supplies home and realized how many corners I had in this tiny room and decided that wasn't going to be the way to go.

I decided to do a chair rail and wainscotting.  I like the navy, so I just painted primer and then BM Cloud White up 5 feet.
I added the chairrail which I had pre-painted and then started mitering the wainscotting.   Easy Peasy!





I like it!   Not to formal ... not too casual., and the room feels huge after being so dark.  

I have a new light for over the vanity, but I couldn't get the old one unscrewed.  I'll have to wait til someone with muscles visits :-)

    Love the navy powder room, navy is so classic. We had navy carperting thoughout our home in S. California, not practical, but I loved it. You are certainly handy with a paint brush, hammer, and sewing machine.

    What a transformation! I love the color combination, especially with the white trimwork. Your roman shade is really cute too!

    I love the navy too but you're right, it was a bit dark for a small room. Great solution and your wainscoting looks amazing!

    Sharon, beautiful job on your bathroom. I love how you used the moulding. Just finishing up our boy's bathroom now with some board & batten and other moulding. I love working with the stuff.
