I am so relieved to have this room done! I mentioned awhile back that I had no idea when I started this remodel, that the smallest room in the house would be the most challenging.
I shared my intentions to makeover my powder room about eight weeks ago. But here’s a little reminder of how it’s evolved over the years.
This is a photo heavy post..I hope that’s okay! grin! I will share in my next post all of the details on how I brought this room together. So for now…enjoy my powder room makeover!
I am on a wainscoting kick, so I couldn’t leave the powder room out! I added beadboard to the room to lighten it up.
A close up of some of the details.
The tangerine, grey and red stone fleur de lis was my inspiration piece for the room.
I also loved this little pot, which was a perfect match to the tangerine!
I really struggled finding a rug that I liked that fit the color scheme but also wasn’t too busy since it’s right next to our entryway. What do you think? A good choice?
My boldest decision in the room…the tangerine ceiling! If you follow us on Facebook, you know that Bama Boy put up quite the objection to me using orange tangerine anywhere in the house.
If you know anything about the SEC you know that orange is a predominant color in the uniforms of many or our arch rivals. I told him to get over it. 
Am I crazy? Well, maybe. But it’s just paint right? And, life’s too short not too have a little fun in your house!
So what do you think? Do you like the transformation?
Stay tuned for the details on this makeover!

I LOVE it. The pops of tangerine are just perfect! Can’t wait to see more of the projects!!
LOVE IT!!!!!
I love your new powder room! Every photo is just beautiful!! I especially love the shelf photo’s and the details photo. ~ Jamie
I love the whimsy and unexpected touch of the tangerine! School rivals?! Whatever! Non issue. Beautiful job.
I love it~The tangerine ceiling looks awesome! I tried putting that color on the walls in my 1/2 bath but it didn’t look good at all. The color made it too closed in looking. So now I have one wall in my kitchen that color but plan on changing it soon. Your room pulls the tangerine color off well!
I do like it! I am in the process of changing out my powder room too. It just doesn’t have the pizazz yet that I want, though. Maybe a tangerine ceiling…
Love it Heather! Can hardly wait to see all the re-do’s next month!
Mom
Heather,
I love that orange. And the little sign with the orange letters that says wash. Seriously. Thanks for the inspiration!
blessings,
karianne
The tangerine ceiling is amazing! Way to go…
What a pleasant surprise to see that ceiling…the colors are extraordinary in that room….just love them!…I am in love with the wire basket on the stool…great!…Loved the reveal!
I love it – absolutely love it! We are ‘noles and we say the only time orange is ok is for Auburn!! (hate those gators!)
Love the whole thing, but especially the Tennessee Vol orange on the ceiling. 😉 Seriously though, great job. Can’t wait to read about the details.
Angie
Heather it is so bright and cheerful- I can’t help but just smile walking into this room! I LOVE the idea of painting the ceiling that bold color- you rocked this room! Yep that rug is Perfect– love every little detail to you bathroom, great job! -Jen
LOVE! This post has helped me so much! I am right now in the “planning” process of renovating a small bath downstairs. I love your vanity color and would love to copy! I love everything you did in here but can honestly tall you that my husband would “freak” if I ever used “tangerine” because of his “arch” SEC rivals. : ) For real….but I LOVE seeing it in yours! Awesome job! TRULY! Thank you for sharing at Meet Me Monday! Love, Me
It looks great Heather! I love the pop of color!
LOVES it…that ceiling was the ticket. Great accessories too Heather!
Wow, talk about GLAM!!! Absolutely love it 🙂 And that ceiling?! Jaw dropper!!! You did a fabulous job 🙂
OOOOHHHH! I love it! It’s so different, and completely gorgeous!
Jessica @ Mom 4 Real

I reeeeally like the transformation of your powder room. Love the color scheme you went with and your accessories.
Mary Alice
Wow!! I love the boldness of the ceiling. i just finished painting my dining room ceiling. After a crick in my neck I swear I’ll never do it again!!
How fun! Love the pop of color on the ceiling and what a perfect room to do it in! The wainscoting is great, I want to put it in my entire house. I was hoping you would share a picture or two of the failed stencil. I’m curious to see what you were doing with it. 🙂 Looks great Heather!
I love the orange! The whole room makes me smile, love the birds, bead-board…it’s so beautiful. You did a great job!
Debbie
Heather,
It looks stunning…love the ceiling:) Now tell Bama Boy that this Auburn gal has red in her home…it’s really just a color:) Hope you come by to my party to show it off.
Blessings,
Linda
Cute-Cute-Cute! Love the warm, happy orange color and the crisp, clean white!
Looks so pretty. My favorite bathroom version so far. The fleur de lise on the commode is darling too 😉
I LOVE the make over ! Especially the tangerine ceiling ! I also love the bird canvas , teal pottery , and bird canvas . Great job !
Love the transformation. Very cheerful.
So awesome! Can you come do mine…I need help so badly! Love the tangerine and how in the world did you paint the ceiling so well upside down 🙂 Such inspiration

The tangerine pops up everywhere, its an amazing touch! 🙂
I am lovin’ that orange ceiling and I happen to be a Bama GIRL!!! You did an amazing job on this and have inspired me to step outside my box! I saw the ‘sneak peek’ on Pinterest, and just had to come take a closer look! WOW!!! I’m a new follower, so I can’t wait to see what you do next! Thanks for the inspiration! RTR
Oh yes…Orange in SEC college football is bad… Orange in your powder room is delicious!! Love it!
BRAVO, Heather! You did an incredible job in this space. The pops of tangerine are gorgeous and are the perfect compliment to your wall color, too! Love that you painted the ceiling such a fun color (which, your family will grow to love, lol). And, such great pieces you added, too (love the wire basket)! Awesome mirror … you rock!
I LOVE the tangerine ceiling! It really adds so much character to the room. I love the beadboard and all the colors in the room too!
It looks amazing! Great job! Love the color choices! So fresh! Fabulous!

Very nice powder room make over. As you say it is just paint and when YOU are tired of it you can change it again. Enjoy! Linda
Gorgeous! The ceiling is unexpected and just beautiful. The colors are all very “happy” I think.
Pat
This looks fabulous. I love the choices and that metal basket is a favorite of mine in there it is great.
Heather, your bathroom looks fantastic! I love the colors you chose; the tangerine and gray are really great together. Very nice job!
Excellent job! Love the bright colors in this room! Like you said life is too short to live with living a little on the edge!
dee dee
Heather- It looks great. I think the tangerine ceiling is a fun touch- daring but fun! The powder room is just lovely and I can tell you put a lot of thought into everything in it. xo Diana
I’m loving the color combo. What a fantastic idea to paint the ceiling the accent color, rather than the walls! Loving it all -xoxo
The powder room looks fantastic. Love the colours!! I really love the framed “wash”…brilliant.
Love the ceiling! It makes the room really pop!!! Thanks for sharing! I love the changes that you made!
Love it, Heather and love the tangerine ceiling. Anything unique is great.
I just love it Heather. I think the tangerine ceiling is absolutely amazing. You’re so right…it’s only paint and I think it’s such an awesome addition to the room. I love all of the elements you added. I can’t wait to see all the details of how you did it all.
Oh, Heather! Everything about it is awesome. I love love love your attention to detail (so pretty!) and that ceiling is so fun! Beautiful transformation, girl! 😉
I LOOOOVE your new bathroom makeover! It looks fresh, fun and stylish. What more could one ask for? 🙂
=Revi
Heather I LOVE LOVE everything about this makeover!!
Heather
Love the orange ceiling, stool, metal basket, mirror….every little detail is perfection!
Kelly
it is absolutely darling, I love it!!!
The pops of color are so cheery and happy. 🙂
Hugs,
Anne
Hi Heather! Oh, I love your little ‘water closet’! Love the color you’re using in there – tangerine! 🙂 How creative to paint your ceiling. I want that cute shelf and really like the pattern in the backs – you’re just too good! 🙂 I like your rug too! You did a fabulous job.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
Oh I love the orange. That is one of my favorite colors and painting the ceiling is so fun. Great makeover. Hugs, Marty
I love all the orange details. Orange and blue/turquoise is my favourite colour combination these days and you’ve incorporated both into this bathroom! Love, so much!
Tangerine Tango — it is my goal to incorporate as much of this color in my life this year as possible! LOVE the painted ceiling!!
Heather, that tangerine ceiling ROCKS!! You did an awesome job! My husband would object too…we went to Texas A&M and our rivals sport orange too! 😉
Love it!!
~Angela
Unbelievable! The mirror and all the accessories are totally dreamy! It’s totally blasting!!! The pictures speak for themselves…your powder room is a thing of beauty! XO, Aimee
Loooooooove it!!!! The color combination is to die for, and I really am over the moon for the ceiling and mirror! And I agree…the small rooms are not easy. At all. I got a little rebellious with my closet, and I will have that post up next week. This powder room makes me want to start all over! Gorgeous!
Tell Bama Boy to not look up … in fact, when he’s in that particular room perhaps he should be focusing on his aim not the ceiling …
🙂
Love how it all turned out. And glad to see I’m not the only person adding orange (sorry, tangerine) into her home.
And I’m loving all things bead board and board & batten. Have for years and years … it’s timeless!
🙂
Linda
Heather, Love the transformation! The pops of tangerine are beautiful.
Hugs, Sherry
Love it! I especially love how you added pattern in the shelf, the pot and the rug (all which are easily changed) instead of on the walls. Perfect! The tangerine is so now! It all looks very fresh and current. Well done!
XO Cindy
You are so right, life is too short not to have a bit of decor fun. The tangerine is so fresh and fun, and on the ceiling like that just makes it more unexpected and totally cool. I also like Linda @ it all started with paint’s message to Bama boy 😉
I really like your style in your powder room…simple yet fun!! That blue ceramic piece on your shelf is adorable. My eyes kept coming back to it :O) But also the tangerine (love it!!)…I can’t wait to have a home of my own (since we live in military housing for a bit longer) so I can do fun projects like this! Thanks for sharing
Looks amazing Heather! I’m trying to redo our bathroom but it feels like such a big job. You’ve inspired me to keep working at it. Thanks for sharing! x Julie
Still loving this Heather! Thanx for coming to party at my place!
Love it – so brave to use the tangerine on the ceiling..but soooo brilliant too!! I want that blue pot (vase)on the hanging shelf so when you are done could you just send it my way. Really though, the room looks great.
Absolutely gorgeous!! The details and the colors are perfect…very inspiring!

Love the orange ceiling :)The colors work great together and I expecially love the wallpaper (or whatever it is) that you used in the background of the little cabinet/shelf 🙂
This is the best makeover to date. Love that Orange ceiling! And I love that little pot too. You did great work, it looks gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. -K
This is wonderful. I loved seeing all the before pictures. It is funny how our taste evolves! I love the mirror too! Where did you find that fabulous little number?
How beautiful!! I love that tangerine color! The mirror and all those little details makes your powder room fabulous!
So unique! Love the statement of all your bold pops throughout!
I love the unexpected punch of color on the ceiling. The bathroom rug does tie the colors together well. My favorite elements are the beadboard, stool, and wire basket.
Sharon @ mrs. hines class
Tangerine, pretty , wouldn’t have thoght to use it but it sure pops! Love the beadboard it really adds to the entire look. What I have noticed is how important accessories are when decorating.
it looks awesome! love the pop on the ceiling and the new beadboard! the stool and metal tote are my favorite and they pull the accent colors in so nicely!
