Powder Bath Before & After + Product Links

When Kelly and I started reviewing the design for our renovation. The color palette was completely neutral and monochromatic, which we loved. For the powder bath we wanted to have a little bit of fun and bring in something unexpected. The space was carved out beneath the staircase so you can see how petite the powder bath really is. We also wanted the space to feel transitional while providing elements that tie into our Spanish architecture. As I started pulling materials, I could not seem to grasp how much or little color we could pull off without getting tired of looking at it quickly. I knew that I couldn’t be bold enough to paint the cabinet a fun color. But I have liked cement tile and enjoy the old world characteristics the tiles provide. However, as Kelly would remind me that this townhouse will be a rental one day, I knew we needed a porcelain tile. Looking through showrooms I sourced an 8” x 8” light yellow with orange hues, gray and black porcelain tile from Arizona Tile. It’s just enough color with the perfect amount of cuteness that we could handle. I also love that the tile pattern coordinates with the existing arabesque window in the space. Since we checked the box of adding in “color”, I was able to keep the cabinetry paint and wall color neutral. To provide contrast against our white walls, I sourced a soft white with subtle gray veining quartz from Arizona Tile Della Terra collection. Next we wanted to bring in some modern elements which developed into matte black plumbing, black cabinetry pulls and a black wall sconce. I was able to slowly curate the accessories that were sourced from local showrooms. One of my favorite pieces is the little yellow vintage stool from our trip to Round Top, TX last fall. When we have guests over, I take the stool out of the space but during our every day living, it provides character and Texas memories.
