Although many design trends come and go, it seems that the farmhouse style remains classic. And that’s a good thing, because this is a 100+ year old farmhouse. This half bathroom was nothing special. It contained a broken, box-store vanity, low ceilings, and boring finishes. So, I came up with a plan to brighten up and bring in its farmhouse roots! My number one priority was to the raise the ceiling. The rest of our home boasts 9-9 1/2′ ceilings. So, the fact that this ceiling was so low made the bathroom feel out of place. We tore out the drop ceiling to find the original plaster ceiling. But I had a cathedral ceiling on my heart, so we tore it out too and rebuilt the ceiling to follow the pitch of our home. New deviations of the farmhouse style continue to surface while keeping the style rooted in the past. I kept many the characteristics of the farmhouse style: white walls, white trim, and shiplap. But I poured a little of my personal style into the mix by using a stain on the cabinet, ceiling trim, and beam and added an earthy green to the door. Small spaces don’t need to settle for a dull, outdated design. Even if you can’t raise the ceiling, there is always untapped potential! Wallpaper, trim details, or artsy tile are all easy ways to add your special signature to any room.

Award Winning Powder Bath

Khoury Design

The design idea focused on simple clean lines with a neutral color palette for a transitional design style. A cohesive look was achieved by using the same quartz countertop and warm walnut shaker door style as the kitchen and bar area. New design elements include the backsplash, rectangular sink, elegant single-hole faucet and textural knobs. The big impact to the space was the bold playful multi-textured crisp white tiles covering the plumbing wall. Furthermore, the plumbing wall tiles were enhanced by the backlit mirror which washed the tile with light, highlighting the depth of the geometric lines.
