Yet another project

I went to the Spring Ottawa Antiques Show last weekend with my better half and we found a great 1930's mahogany dresser that I'm going to turn into our powder room vanity. Our current powder room is a fair size and has a pedestal sink which looks really puny in the space. So I'll be sourcing a top mount sink and great faucet to finish off the vanity as well as someone to do the job. I'll need a great mirror and some accessories to finish off the room and I'll be painting the ceiling a tint of the current wall colour to soften it.
Here's the vanity I found:
Now here's some inspiration photos.

A beautiful traditional bath
A beautifully carved dresser turned vanity.
This looks alot like my dresser.
As does this one
A vintage table used as a vanity...nice!
This is my favourite...
Another beautiful traditional one.
Nice and clean design I think I'm going with an oval sink as well

Turquoise heaven

Turquoise is one of my favourite colours probably because it embodies the seaside. It is so fresh and feminine! Here's some pretty pictures of the prettiest colour.


A beautiful tropical wallpaper and the floral centerpieces add to that tropical flavour.

Another beautiful turquoise wallpaper but feels more retro inspired.

A classical and vintage looking stairway.

I believe this is from the same interior as above - classic and timeless. Love the boat sculpture hanging from the ceiling...

A fresh country feeling but with hints of moderness. What a whimsical polka dot wallpaper!


Gorgeous vintage inspired bathroom - love the turqoise clawfoot tub, cute floral curtains and chandelier. Looks like a lovely space to take a leisurely soak!
