"A literal water closet! we lined the wall with sheets of wrapping paper from Paper Source along with wallpaper adhesive on the back and Mod Podge on the top to protect it and converted a standard sink to a tiny sink."

smartly done. this is one of my favorite AT rooms of all time, because it is so simple, but so alive. I am not a fan of pattern, but this is cheery and fresh. some might not like how "busy" it is in a small space. the grey and white calm it down.

I'm amazed by the tiny little sink. That's a great use of space!

fantastic job!
What an eye for color and pattern.
I'm fan of apple green.

Amazing! I love this. It's a great look for such a tiny space. And your mini-sink is the perfect scale and shape! I'm also curious about the wrapping paper. I'd love to try that, but I'm nervous. Any pointers?

where did you find the sink?
we also have a "world's smallest powder bath" and haven't found anything that small yet! we were thinking of an old drinking fountain... but this sink is what i've been looking for

I love it. the colours and the paper. I would also check out A.I Friedman for beautiful paper.
I am always wanting to figure out ways to use all the beautiful wrapping paper these shops sell. Any pointers and how-tos would be really welcome.

This is wonderful. Did you have to waste any paper in order to get the pattern to line up? I was also considering using wrapping paper as wallpaper, but I couldn't quite wrap my brain around how I was going to get the pattern to line up.

OMG! This so looks like the beauty parlor my mother went to back in the mid-70's! Such a smart, bright style for a tiny space!
