I just love how this little bathroom remodel turned out. This is a guest bathroom that is also used as a powder bath, so it needs to look beautiful for guests whether they are staying overnight or not.

Before photos below.

It was okay, but it could be so much better.

We started with the creamy yellow wall color used throughout the home to inspire the finishes. I found this lovely wallpaper that is the real feature in this bathroom. Gray with some yellow and a watercolor effect.

From there, the antiqued 6 x 6 slate tiles for the floor from Thorntree in Houston. They have the perfect shadings of greige and the brushed finish feels great underfoot.

Then came the beautiful white onyx for the counter and splash.

love that white onyx, sort of greige with yellow veining

The new tub is a deep soaker, selected by the homeowner. It fits well in this compact space. We did it in the biscuit finish which related in color to the onyx.

Biscuit subway tile for the bathing surround. I didn't want to use the slate for this, it would've been too dark and masculine and would've made the tub stand out as bright white. As it is it blends in with the tub and makes a nice bathing alcove.

Pretty paint colors that bring out the color in the wallpaper and the onyx,

brushed nickel fixtures and hardware in a simple design so as not to take away from the wallpaper.

A mirror in a special finish,

a custom shower curtain to fit the space perfectly with an end to end curtain rod mount in a finish that relates to the mirror frame.

There are so many different elements that go into pulling a small space like this together.
