House Tour – Downstairs Hallway and Powder Room

 Moving back down to the first level now, we’ll walk down the Hallway towards the kitchen.  Off to your right is the Powder Room (and a coat closet.)

New flooring, extra light, a little paint, some woodwork- and this space has a whole new look!

*My ceilings are 9′ tall on the main level and my wainscoting is 5′ tall.  I follow the golden rule of thirds – loosely!

*I used 3/4″ MDF
*I used a router table and and Roman Ogee bit
* my rails and stiles are 4″ wide
*the base rail is 10′ tall
*I created the top moulding by combining 3 different mouldings.

 Moving on.  Here is the Powder Room.

This is what it looked like before.

 Yep, I got the sink and faucet from Overstock, the light from Bellacor, and the mirror from Marshall’s.

    Your house is absolutely beautiful! I love all of the changes you've made to it. NICE WORK!

  2. When I lived in Chicago back in the winter of 2000/2001 the mailman told us he wasn't going to deliver anymore until we got the sidewalk cleared. Dang landlord took 2 more weeks. So I am guessing they don't train for that around there =)

    I'm sure you think I've gone away rudely, but instead of I've been rudely waiting to see a bunch of the house at once (I LOVE house tours … apparently I enjoy being jealous).Anyhow, so far everything looks so amazing! I adore that you've ditched the horrible "wall of glass" type mirrors in bathrooms and installed framed mirrors instead. Also, the sconce-style lights … so great! Especially since as you (or new owners, I suppose) want a bit of a change … simply switching out the chimneys or bells makes a HUGE and cheap difference!Please don't tell your Madison that I'm completely jealous of her room. 🙂 From the flower-covered lamp to the pink and black curtains and even the little stuffed Unicorn … the only reason I'm not jogging out right NOW for a bolt of hot pink fabric is that I'm fairly sure My Guy would move out (something to keep in mind if he ticks me off, I guess :)).p.s. I have a brand new, spare lava lamp … just sayin' … 🙂

  4. Those wall sconces in the hallway are great…hmm. Gives me ideas!

  5. Your house is beyond perfection! I am so JEALOUS 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
