ROOM ON A BUDGET: $5,000 POWDER ROOM

After my parents finished renovating their loo, I was feeling inspired to take a more contemporary approach on bathroom styling. So I came up with this design, that is bright and fresh with a bit of whimsy and curiosity. I hope it will inspire you. And if you are on a budget, you will spend no more than $5,000. I know, it might be a bit hefty on the wallet for some, but I'm working on a more thrifty powder room design to come. So stay tuned!
