Water Closet Re-Do
Whoever built our house in the 60’s, took the term “water closet” a bit too literally when designing the master bath. Small, does not begin to describe it. Tiny and ugly, perhaps does…or did, rather. Since the quickie weekend make-over we gave it a few weeks ago we now refer to it as, the “Boutique Bath”.
Before we started the walls were dingy white, there was a parchment shade that our cat tore in an unfortunate window jumping incident, and we had a pedestal sink which took up space without offering storage.
We decided to go for a dark, modern look and painted the walls a deep violet. The color would probably be a bit much for a larger room but it works nicely in this smaller space. We also found a new sink at Ikea that’s perfect for our needs, offering storage without taking up as much space as its predecessor. 
Lastly, I made this panel valance to hang over some plain, white Home Depot blinds.That’s really it. Small changes to small spaces. It’s the little things that count, right? 😉
