One Room Challenge Week 5 - Powder Room Update

I'm happy to announce that my bathroom is complete!  Though it wasn't a big room to makeover....so it was very manageable to complete in a six week period. And here we are at only week 5!  If you've missed the previous weeks, you can catch up here (week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4).

This week I'll share my last few decisions with you!  I finally chose  a rug and finished the medicine cabinet.  And next week.....the big reveal of the completed room!

Let's first start with the cabinet....here's a peek at the before:

I gave it a fresh coat of white paint (using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint that was leftover from Emmie's room makeover).  And the knobs and hinges got a touch of gold spray paint left over from my mirror debacle!

Fabric was switched out to this John Robshaw fabric.

And here is a look at the finished cabinet!

 Amazing what a little paint and fabric can do!

And now the rugs....that was another long and involved process.  I wanted as big of a rug as possible, but it's not a huge room. So I was a bit limited.

I found a few great rugs that were navy blue and white....just what I was looking for.  But unfortunately, I ran into a few issues.

The first rug was too big for the room.

The next was too small.

Then there was the rug that was too thick! The door wouldn't open up (and I wasn't 100% sold on the blue anyway...).

{Is this starting to sound a touch like Goldilocks and The Three Bears?!}

So, I kept searching.

I tried an indoor/outdoor rug from Home Decorators.  The color online didn't look 100% perfect for the bathroom.  But I was hopeful it would be 'the one' when it arrived.

Wrong. I didn't love the blue. Or the beige trim.  It was too blah for me.

The runner up was a great little rug from Target.

While it wasn't the winner for the bathroom right now,  I think I may keep it for when I want to freshen up the look in there.

And after all of that shopping, you won't believe the rug that I'm using.....it's one that I had in my entry!

It's a gray rug. Not navy as I'd initially planned. But the size and thickness worked (which were nonnegotiables for this room).  So I had to be a bit flexible on the color.

Maybe someday the perfect navy rug will cross my path. For now, I'm quite happy with my little $29 Target purchase from my entry!

Next week is the big bathroom reveal! Make sure you come back to see the finished product! We'll take one more look at the before and then look at the updated version!

There are a lot of other bloggers participating in the One Room Challenge as well! Hope over to Calling it Home to check them out!
