Time to jazz up a dull powder room.

The powder room is long and skinny and doesn't offer many options for furniture or artwork. After removing forty year old wallpaper from the walls and the ceiling, I painted the walls a light brown. It stayed like this for awhile before I decided to have a little fun.
In order to tape evenly, I made pencil marks at six inch intervals at four different heights. This photo also shows the valance form I made out of two brackets and a scrap of wood. I attached it higher than the window frame to make the window and the room feel taller.
I decided on a darker shade of the same color. I made the valance out of a silk remnant. It is attached to a piece of wood on brackets with self stick velcro.
I found the table decal at Dezign With A Z online. The mirror is a chalkboard! They carry many fun designs but also very practical calendars and memo boards.
The bathroom has a sense of whimsy and I can change it up in a snap.
