precious powder room

As my "sea shell inspired month" of August continues,

I thought I would share a little powder room

that is as easy breezy (and adorable) as can be!

 

White walls are brought to life with the thoughtful application of adorable hand painted birds and sea grass...

 

 

Be creative with the placement of the stencils.

 

Look at the architectural features of the room as places that can be used for display. The flat chair rail above the bead board makes a tiny shelf for displaying a collection of small sea shells.  

 

Storage space for hand towels and wash cloths is a must in bathrooms yet space in this room is quite limited. The solution is a vintage coat tree and a few natural woven baskets.

 

With a couple of stencils and a neutral palette of acrylic paints, you too can create a special design feature in your home.

 

If you're intimidated by hand painting walls in your home, start small. A powder room is an ideal space to practice.

Remember...it's just paint. If you don't like the results you can always paint over it! Happy decorating...
