A powder room is a terrific place to let your inner design diva free.  Typically a small, seldom used room –unless you have lots of kids or guests–you can experiment with different design elements without worrying about moisture and overuse.

Silly me, I opted for a mudroom when we built our house and deleted the powder room off of the garage to make space.  While having lockers and storage is great, I wish I could have squeezed a powder room in (especially when the kids have to speed through the house to get to the bathroom).

Anyway,  back to the design dilemma.  I love wallpaper and paint so if I did have a powder room I would be hard pressed to choose one for the walls.   One of my favorite things to do is look through new wallpaper books at the store and envision where in my house I could hang some of the beautiful patterns.  I also love to flip through my paint samples looking for colors I have not used before.
