Powder Your Nose

A friend recently asked me for some paint color suggestions for the downstairs half-bath in her new house (I still call them powder rooms, is that old fashioned?)

I suggested she not worry about matching the colors to the rest of the downstairs but instead do something dramatic. This is a great place to go a little crazy with color or pattern - the door is always closed so it doesn't need to match anything! And your guests will love walking into an exotic little room.

Go crazy!
