Powder Rm of our new-build project in a Chicago Northern suburb.

Vanity and ceiling color: Cavern Clay by Sherwin Williams

The guest bathroom inside this 18th century home featured outdated design elements reminiscent of the 1990s. By redesigning the original footprint of the space and interchanging the old fixtures with customized pieces, the bathroom now interweaves modern-day functionality with its historical characteristics.

This beautiful transitional powder room with wainscot paneling and wallpaper was transformed from a 1990's raspberry pink and ornate room. The space now breathes and feels so much larger. The vanity was a custom piece using an old chest of drawers. We removed the feet and added the custom metal base. The original hardware was then painted to match the base.

In this powder room we installed an Astoria Modern Cream White 30” vanity with white oval bowl with matching mirror and 2cm engineered Crystal Palace quartz countertop and Satin Nickel hardware knobs. Moen Eva Wide Spread faucet, towel ring, tank lever and Kohler Cimaron comfort height toilet was installed. Over the vanity is a Progressive mingle 3-light vanity light in Brushed Nickel. ¾” Solid wood plank flooring in random lengths in Ash with Ecru Lucan smooth finish was installed in the powder room, foyer, den living room and dining room.

Playing on the nautical theme of the first floor, the utility room loo makes for amazing aesthetic.

This powder room certainly attracts the eye. As the kitchen is quite monotone, it is helpful to have one piece of color and pattern to serve as a conversation starter. Simple application of picture molding to drywall with a chair rail and chunky base board give the illusion of frame and panel wainscot.

Designed by Cameron Snyder, CKD and Julie Lyons. Removing the former wall between the kitchen and dining room to create an open floor plan meant the former powder room tucked in a corner needed to be relocated. Cameron designed a 7' by 6' space framed with curved wall in the middle of the new space to locate the new powder room and it became an instant focal point perfectly located for guests and easily accessible from the kitchen, living and dining room areas. Both the pedestal lavatory and one piece sanagloss toilet are from TOTO Guinevere collection. Faucet is from the Newport Brass-Bevelle series in Polished Nickel with lever handles.
