I like the gallery wall idea also...mine might not be that busy or by the time I get to that point, I may be so disgusted with it, that I will just throw something on the wall and call it finished...LOL. You know how frustrating some projects can be. I've been looking at the command strips as alternatives because I just really don't want to have a wall littered with nail holes. The dark, dramatic color is what I'm really leaning towards. I will know more once I get the board and batten up and the painting finished on the bottom part of the wall. Thank you so much!!

Changing out a few things does help. And you are so right on the powder rooms...one and done. It's hard to find artwork for a powder room, at least it is for me. I never know what sort of feel I want it to have and change it up frequently.<br /><br />Thank you so much! I do love the board and batten because it is timeless and requires no updating for a while. I'm short also...5'2"...the hubster is 6'2", so we have to find a happy medium. We think 36" tall will work for both of us...I definitely don't want to have to stand on a stool to wash my hands...LOL Hugs!!Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-58949460003425788842015-10-12T15:26:08.523-05:002015-10-12T15:26:08.523-05:00Happy Monday, Benita!

I love the gallery wall idea...you could always use the command strips to hang things if you don't want to make all those holes...I've used them on quite a few things in our home and they work really well and come in different sizes that hold different weights of things you are hanging and don't damage your walls! :)<br />We did the SW Sea Salt in our lower bath redo...it works really well with browns and white! But I do love that dark gray you chose too! It's a small room, I say go bold!! The white from the board and batten will keep the dark gray toned down and not too dark in there!<br />Can't wait to see it all done! :)<br />Hugs, KimberleyKimberleyhttp://www.seasideave.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-26067613116944872472015-10-10T11:15:47.796-05:002015-10-10T11:15:47.796-05:00Can't wait to see how it all comes together!

But power rooms are a little more difficult because when it's done...it's done! Well, new artwork and accessories can give it a little punch when you're bored!!<br /><br />I love your design board. The board and batten is something I may do in the new reno at the lake. We had bead board before. And we also had the vanity and sink similar to the one you show---check the height. I'm 5'2 and it was too high for me to wash my face in. <3<br /><br />Can't wait to see what you do!!!<br /><br />Jane xBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-64259448854421837882015-10-09T17:09:27.498-05:002015-10-09T17:09:27.498-05:00Thanks so much Kris…you know, you guys could alway...Thanks so much Kris…you know, you guys could always visit Gallatin and you could come help me! ;-) Hugs!!Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-2495527781511554262015-10-09T17:08:23.317-05:002015-10-09T17:08:23.317-05:00Thank you so much Julie...I will definitely apprec...Thank you so much Julie...I will definitely appreciate all of the encouragement and may have to have help in the decision making process along the way! :-) LOL @ you go girl....

The sink will come out first and he’s already determined the spacing. We will not be taking the baseboards off, but will sit the wood on the top of the baseboard. The commode has enough room behind it to slide a piece of the molding down behind it, so we don’t have to remove the commode. That was going to be a big deal and we dodged a bullet. That’s as far as we’ve gotten in the planning. :-) Thank you so much! My favorite part is going to be the chandelier! :-)Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-43273183316249702392015-10-09T16:59:30.799-05:002015-10-09T16:59:30.799-05:00Thank you so much Tessa!

I don't know if the hubster is looking forward to it also, since he will be the manual labor guy! :-)<br /><br />I love your terminology....sounds just like mine! :-) And we have discussed those for some of the photos. If I end up doing a small gallery area in this room, that will be what I use...I just cringe at all the thought of all those nail holes to hang all the photos.<br /><br />Much love and hugs to you sweet friend!Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.com
