The old powder room was situated right off an unheated side entry and was a cold space in the winter. It even had a window that looked out directly at the side door from the toilet. The footprint of the room is much the same as before, but now it’s a warm and private bath that’s not afraid to show some personality! COREY GAFFER PHOTOGRAPHY

The downstairs half bath has fun tropical wallpaper and gorgeous blue wainscoting and door, with a pedestal sink to maintain the historic fee.

What was once a basic powder room is now fresh, sophisticated and ready for your guests. A powder room can become a stunning focal point by installing a mosaic stone floor and grasscloth wallpaper in vinyl. By replacing dated fixtures with something more high-end in a brushed warm metal finish, unexpected painted dark blue trim adds drama, visual interest, contrast and brings a decorative touch to your powder room.

This powder room is given more of a feminine flair. The multi-color abstracted floral pattern wallpaper adds the right amount of color and pattern. Simple polished nickel sconces with bamboo detailing and white linen shades flank either side of the round mother of pearl mirror. A white glazed ceramic elephant stool from Serena and Lily finishes the space with a bit more character. Photography: Vivian Johnson

The vibrant powder room has floral wallpaper highlighted by crisp white wainscoting. The vanity is a custom-made, furniture grade piece topped with white Carrara marble. Black slate floors complete the room. What started as an addition project turned into a full house remodel in this Modern Craftsman home in Narberth, PA. The addition included the creation of a sitting room, family room, mudroom and third floor. As we moved to the rest of the home, we designed and built a custom staircase to connect the family room to the existing kitchen. We laid red oak flooring with a mahogany inlay throughout house. Another central feature of this is home is all the built-in storage. We used or created every nook for seating and storage throughout the house, as you can see in the family room, dining area, staircase landing, bedroom and bathrooms. Custom wainscoting and trim are everywhere you look, and gives a clean, polished look to this warm house.
