Powder Room Update ORC Week 4

| |

Its Thursday! It’s time for an ORC dual powder room update! Today I am reminded just how delicate the art of compromise is, The ORC Week 4 had to be flexible.

 

Ready for a dual powder room update? I’m ready to share it with you! We have had some victories and a couple of setbacks but that is all part of this great event called the One Room Challenge.

So I shared last week that the fun rug for the downstairs powder had come in. Well, this week I decided to take it out of the packaging because we are so close to being finished with this room. To my dismay, the rug doesn’t work as I had hoped. So, back to the drawing board, we go.

Then, the light that I ordered showed up as a fan… I kid you not.  It’s a pretty fan but it isn’t the vanity light I so desperately need to wrap this space up. Thankfully Wayfair was super great about it and I should have the vanity light any day now.

Now for the Upstairs Powder Room update:

Ok, here is where we begin the dance of compromise.  After some soul searching… the design had to become more budget-friendly.  Nothing wrong with being more frugal.

So instead of :

We are going with this:

We are talking a $500 savings and without sponsors for this challenge… well ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I think it’s going to look beautiful.

While we are at it, the budget winced at the idea of a new countertop and toilet.

So instead of this…

We are keeping the original toilet and adding this…

And adding this to the original sink…

I am still hunting for the burled wood but may end up going with a beautiful piece of walnut. Patience is a virtue… I hear.

The Hale Navy by the way is spectacular!! I will show you a sneak peek on instagram soon along with my cabinet pull update.

Less than two weeks away from the big reveal! Can you believe it?!? I can’t!

  1. I love your new selections Joy!!! Gosh…if only we didn’t have to live within a budget!!! 🙂 I think the space is going to be just as beautiful without the added expenses. Now that is a win-win!!!

  2. Joy…would that our leaders learn the art of compromise like you did…maybe you can head to Washington and give them a quick tutorial. But…your compromises are very lovely and I think the end result will still be spectacular. Looking forward to that Hale Navy sneak preview.
    Hugs and wishes for a productive week.

  3. I’m I am blown away by the idea that you can replace a toilet handle with something so pretty! That is amazing and I never would have thought of it!

  4. Patience is a virtue. Don’t give up hope…burled would be an amazing compliment to your brass accents.

  5. Joy, I honestly didn’t know you can change the handle on a toilet! I learn something new all the time. Sad to hear about the downstairs powder room, but I know it will all turn out just perfect, and I can’t wait to see the final reveal for both rooms.

  6. I love the hex tile! I used the same tile in my master bath. Although I also love your pricier choice, I think the hex tiles are more timeless. I’m so in awe of the bloggers taking on bathroom projects!

  7. Beautiful selections! I know it’s hard to compromise (love the title of your post by the way), but I think you did it flawlessly and I can’t wait to see the end result!
