BATH WEEK: PLUCKY POWDER ROOMS!

June 23, 2010

A mirrored chest of drawers has been transformed into a vanity with sink in this home’s powder room…the gilt mirror, shaded sconces and the pink “fan” wallpaper all create a feeling of decadent luxe. (above)

Day 3 of BATH WEEK on COCOCOZY! Thank you for your reader submissions. Will be doing a whole post on those…so if you have more remodel or great bath photos, please send in…designers and non-designers alike.

Now onto today’s BATH WEEK post…

Webster’s definition of the word “plucky” is “marked by courage”, “spirited”, “brave”.

These small powder rooms fit the design definition of “plucky” to the tee. All are quite courageous with design, they are certainly spirited and lively in feel, and the designers were brave in making well edited but bold decor statements.

Think if one is going to get plucky in their decorating…a small powder room is the place to do it! Hope you enjoy!

Not your average zebra print – Gold hardware and accents shine on as a herd of Zebras gallops across the walls of a small powder room. (above)

Which of these baths is your favorite? How plucky would you get with powder room design?

Have a great Wednesday!

xo,
Coco

    Really love the first bathroom and the way the paper reflects off the mirrored base and the base all but disappears

    I think the one by Palmer Weiss is my favorite! I love how creative people have gotten in powder rooms – when we redo our powder room (really a full bath – but for our guests) I really want to do something fun and plucky! I just have to keep it somewhat relatable to most people since we won’t be living her forever!
