I think of the powder room as a little jewel box within a home. This is a place to show a some personality and pizazz because it is such a small space and a place where your guests are sure to visit. Instead of putting a lot of money into this space with tile or stone, I decided to pump it up with a fantastic shade of an orangish red, called Geranium by Benjamin Moore in my favorite high gloss. Reds can be tough when it comes to achieving the right shade, but this shade with orange undertones keep the hue a little more modern and warm and stays away from that typical dining room red that I find boring.

The bronze colored fixtures tied in an existing mirror I had, made of capiz shell. This bronze color also gave me a nook to finally put this cupped hand sculpture that I have been dying to display.

This wall color glows when the door is left ajar, especially then the light is left on. It makes me smile everytime I catch a glimpse of my powder room, ah what a few coats of glossy paint will do! Since this bathroom is right off the kitchen, it also helps tie in the mosaic tile that frames out the island in my kitchen, which has a deep terra cotta color stone mixed in. I also plan on painting this color on the back wall of my 2 pantries so when these doors are open, a fun hue will glow from within. The curtains in the kitchen also tie in this shade of reddish orange as well as the gray...
