Good Things Come in Small Packages

I’ve always been intrigued by beautiful powder rooms. They are such good places to make strong decorative statements as every little choice has the power to make a big impact…like a vintage mirror…some cool wallpaper (this is the spot to go for it)…beautiful linens… etc. If there is ever a chance to have a jewel box of sorts in your home decor, this is the opportunity.
