Powder Room

By Lorraine

This is the color of our dining room and it is my favorite in the whole house. I remember having many paint chips taped to the wall for days viewing them in the various light throughout the day.  I settled on Aqua Frost (from Valspar) and have not grown tired of it since 2007. I had some leftover paint and used it in the powder room. I needed an additional quart and just squeaked it using every drop in the can.

    If I had the privilege of going into that room, I know that I would not want to come out. You sure did a beautiful job, so soothing and peaceful, with all of your creative touches. Thank you for sharing it all with us. I really like the wall paint color.

    Hi Lorraine,
    Thank you for your visit…
    I love the color of your bathroom I would not grow tired of it either. I bet it looks so pretty in your dinning room. All the crisp white really brightens up the room.
    I have enjoyed my visit with you today and look forward to reading more of your posts.
    Have a sweet day, Elizabeth

    What a beautiful room you have created! Lovely! I love that you were able to create a new look using objects found around your home and from your garden. Your attention to the details of shape, texture and color really help to enhance the beautiful wall color that you selected.

    Looks gorgeous and I too love that color. I tried so hard to use it in the guest bath I'm redoing but it just wasn't right with the countertop my son put in. I love the mirror and have been contemplating doing the same thing with an old gold framed mirror. I like the idea better than going to buy a new one. It all looks great!
