Aura paint is the top of the line paint at BM, and the most expensive. The decorative crown molding and ceiling were painted “Right White” using Benjamin Moore Aura paint. The white wire basket, used to store toilet paper is from Home Goods, similar HERE. The exposed pipes and open shelves give the space a rustic yet refined feel. The round sink is a ceramic bowl.įrench Country style incorporates weathered furniture. The weathered oak washstand is also from Restoration Hardware, similar one HERE. It has gray veining with a sleek white background. It is nonporous, scratch and stain resistant. You can find a similar one HERE, HERE and HERE. The style of the room incorporates modern sleek design like a nickel framed mirror with a weathered vanity and country bath fixtures. The mirror is from Restoration Hardware as well.

It’s hard to convey that feeling in pictures, but the glow against the black walls is stunning. When the overhead light is off and only the scones are on, the room feels magical. These sconces give off a beautiful glow in the room. The sconces are from Restoration Hardware. I felt that having a bar located directly next to the sink gives the space a more modern feel. I went with a 18″ towel bar instead of a towel ring. In keeping with a similar look and feel to the faucet, I chose a towel bar HERE from the same family. I must confess, it is on the expensive side, but clearly worth the cost when I compare the superior quality to other faucets. The quality, heft, and look of this faucet make it a clear winner in style and function for the space. This satin nickel country bath faucet HERE has the exact look and feel I want. I am in love with the look of “old faucets” with cross handles. When we think of french country style, we don’t think of black walls.but that’s where the “modern” aspect comes into play 😉 My favorite aspect about the room are the black walls. The color is Obsidian, it’s a Restoration Hardware color but we used Benjamin Moore Aura interior paint. The vanity fits and looks much better in the new space. We relocated the plumbing and junction boxes for sconces, to an adjacent wall in the room. Let’s take a peek inside the NEWLY remodeled powder room.

Powder Room Remodel – Modern French Country Design (Part 2 – Relocating the Plumbing and Electrical) Powder Room Remodel – Modern French Country Design (Part 1- the Before) You can catch up on all the details of the renovation and design changes here. I designed our powder room with this style in mind, thinking simplistic elegance and adding a modern twist. While some french inspired styles are often perceived as ostentatious, true french country style showcases elegant simplicity. The previous french inspired vanity in the room was beautiful, just too ornate for our taste. I ripped out an old vanity shortly after moving into our house, with the intent of fixing the room up a lot earlier than we did, but other home projects took precedence. If you have been following along, you know that we started this remodel some time ago. I am so happy to have the room finally finished and ready to use! Modern French Country Design It’s been a long 2 years, but we survived life without a fully functioning powder room.
