Before and after: powder room, hidden laundry/ office
We were a little short on space so decided to make use of our old bathroom and laundry area and make it an office ( yet to be built in....) and hide the laundry behind bi-folds. I plan a double bar height desk built along the entire wall opposite the laundry doors.... Any thoughts/ideas? The powder room squeezed in nicely, and our guests don't have to look at a laundry as they walk through....

smcfloss I am still searching for the perfect mirror. My thoughts are a polished nickel rectangle mirror on pivots ( have seen similar on Potterybarn website... But I'm in Vic Australia... Anyone know of any similar?

stepi This is just perfect! We have almost the same. But bi-foldings are very expensive (in Switzerland) so I took curtains to separate the powder from the laundry room.

Susan Spaulding I love this new powder room!! Lovely after results!!

debmarie7 Cutest little powder room, ever. The white plates are elegant. How did you come up with that idea? Polished nickel for your mirror would compliment nicely.

smcfloss Ooops Susan, just realized I forgot the 'before' in my before and after shots! 4 photos isn't enough room some times!

smcfloss Debmarie... I planned on putting the girl/boy prints (below...they ended up in our outdoor shower area) that I purchased well before the Reno'... But when it came to decorate time, they just weren't right. I know plates in a toilet might seem odd to some...lol

smcfloss Stepi.... The bifolds are great, but your curtains are a great substitute! You've done a lovely job! ( could always add later perhaps... Although I see no need)

mom57 Love it! What is the name of the paint color?
4 months ago · ·
smcfloss Sorry mom57, no name, found the colour on a stripped wallpaper in the paint store, so they colour matched it for me. It's actually a little 'bluer' than I planned! My entire house is antique white USA - walls and ceiling, so this was VERY adventurous for me!!!

smcfloss Hi hunter & ivy... That is what I have in mind... But need rectangular. Does your Melbourne distributed have other shapes, and a showroom?

Hunter & Ivy Hello smcfloss, Mary Noall is a bathroom retail shop - like Reece for example, but more boutique brands. Here is their website link for you.
http://www.marynoall.com.au/
And yes, their showroom is in Middle Park and open normal business hours.
I'm an interior designer and sometimes recommend and order products for clients from there, they have brands no one else carries and really worth checking out.
I'm not sure if they have rectangular mirrors, just ask them and they will be happy to help, I'm sure! Otherwise, if you prefer, I can find out for you.
Best of luck, you're doing a great job!
regards, Corinna (Hunter & Ivy)
