My Pink Powder Room


It all started with a vintage pink sink... and I just had to have it. Of course, it took a bit to convince my D.H. that I had to have it, but convince him I did.

After 2 weeks our half bath remodel is finally finished and I thought I'd share our project.



~ I just adore our little powder room ~









I'm on the hunt for a lacy white sink skirt ~ not an easy find ~ may have to make it myself.


The paint color is Serene Thoughts and at night with the nightlight on the room just glows.






The porcelain sink is an American Standard dated 1965 ~ I'm glad we were able to recycle this little gem.

The sink and light fixture we picked up at our local Habitat For Humanity ($20.00-sink and $5.00 for light); brass valve fitting for sink ($10.00); Paint ($20.00); Tile Flooring ($45.00); and the 2 x 3 foot shadow box style frame for white shelves was $3.99 at a local St. Vincent DePaul resale shop (D.H. added extra shelves with wood we had around the house and voila ~ a pretty perfume bottle~what nots collection display).
Ta-dah! $105.00-ish (Not too painful)

I am so pleased with our little remodel and give my husband credit for many hours of work and aggravation (the tiles I insisted just had to go in diagonally which took many cuts and more time to install, extra time also over that sink-after we had sink ready for install found out no studs... he had to cut drywall, add wood between studs, remudd that area and repaint, so needless to say he informed me my $20.00 sink was a pain in the ... well you get it I'm sure).

End of the story is ~ even my D.H. thinks it turned out good.

Until next time ~ Be of good cheer!
