I just love how the powder room turned out and I thought I would share it with you . Yes, I am giving out a few secrets because I like you !
I cannot wait to share the living room with you when it is accessorized, so stay tuned.
It started with a thrift shop lamp that cost $7.00! This hanging fixture did need rewiring but that was a minimal cost. Then it definitely needed some updating and spunk. That's when good old model car paint and a gold marker came into play. Model car paint is fabulous! It goes on glossy and stays glossy. It also comes in a variety of fun colors. The gold marker is just plain easy to work with.
Then we wondered -"What color do we choose"?
That's when this trim below chose it for us!
Look at this little rescue in it's new home!
That lovely little Samuel & Son's tape trim found it's way onto our great valances.
Here are a few little secrets...
Testors brand model paint you can find at Michaels or Walmart.
Find at Joann's Fabric
Only a few left of this petite mirror, which was the perfect fit for our tight little space. It added a tribal feel along with the Schumacher Leopard Wallcovering and Fabric!
Many asked on Instagram about the mirror so here it i.

I can't wait to see the rest. I always appreciate a touch of vintage. It feels unique and can't be replicated.
