A powder room is a must in my eyes. \u00a0When we are entertaining and have guests, they have a small bathroom they can use. Since we only have one full bath upstairs in our house, we are happy that an owner in our house’s history decided to get creative and install a half bath under the stairs. \u00a0This is one room I did not do a thing to since we moved in a little over two years ago. This room is TINY so it is very hard to photograph.<\/h3>\n

This is the before. \u00a0It was a basic tan, and personally, I was never a fan of it. \u00a0It looked as if it belonged in an army barracks somewhere.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

This is truly under the stairs and you can tell by the small\/strange angle. \u00a0The previous owner added leftover shelves and a make-shift mirror. \u00a0We are too tall even to use the mirror, so there is a full length mirror on the wall beside the toilet. \u00a0The shelf had a outlet that we hid with our proposal picture.<\/h3>\n

Here’s another angle of that awkward shelf, and you are about to get the back story on our proposal photo.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0Mr. Spring and I love to be outside. \u00a0When we were living in Atlanta, he planned a week-end getaway to go to Cumberland Island for kayaking and camping. \u00a0Cumberland Island is amazing but a lot of people had never heard of it till a Kennedy came along. \u00a0This is the island where John Kennedy and Carolyn Bessette married. \u00a0This island doesn’t have public cars and is very remote. \u00a0We chose to kayak to it. \u00a0On the way we had dolphins jumping out of the water right beside us. \u00a0 \u00a0Once on the island, we hiked to the north part because I wanted to see the little church where they were married. \u00a0I couldn’t believe how small it was. \u00a0Mr. Spring was setting up our tripod to take a picture together \u00a0which we do all the time when we are out on adventures. \u00a0I didn’t think a thing of it. \u00a0However, this time he got down on one knee, asked me to marry him, \u00a0and we \u00a0got the whole thing on camera. \u00a0I said yes and the rest is history……… \u00a0Ok, back to the bathroom.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

The main thing I didn’t like was the color, so I decided to go with the same color we used in our dining room. \u00a0It is Silver Drop by Behr. \u00a0It really brightens up the tiny room. \u00a0I decided also to bring pops of green in. \u00a0The rug is a different shad of green that blends well. \u00a0Remember it’s blendy, blendy, – not matchy, matchy. \u00a0I also added a striped valance with stripes in green, grey, navy, and white.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Here you can see the full length mirror. \u00a0I want to add a frame around it so it will look more finished.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

The green tin on the toilet was one I had from a gift basket and decided to spray it that pop of green. \u00a0I wasn’t sure what I wanted as art and learned about Free Vintage Posters.com<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0While searching, I found some cute winter prints. \u00a0I printed them up and hung them. \u00a0I figure I will switch it to something summery when the weather warms up. \u00a0Plus, when I get tired of it, they will be easy to change.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

I was never a fan of the small shelves and mirror, so we decided to remove them. \u00a0It is still a small space, but it appears somewhat bigger. \u00a0Plus, the ceiling in this section is painted the grey. I already had the mirror in my house and just painted it the same pop of green. I am thrilled with the new color, but if I get sick of the green, it will be super easy to change. \u00a0There’s almost nothing a little paint can’t fix.<\/h3>\n
