At my parent's Farmhouse they decided to turn an old outdated bathroom (built in the 70's by my grandfather) into a quaint lavender inspired bathroom. The wallpaper is just lovely with bursts of watercolored lavender roses.
They also added white carrara marble to the top of an old 19th century dresser, after which they painted a dusty grey/green.
My mom also made her own chalk paint to refinish this old dresser as well as to paint the new built-in that holds the towels and toiletries. Below is the recipe for her homemade chalk paint.
CHALK PAINT
- 1 – 8 ounce pot of paint (this is 1 cup)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons of Plaster of Paris
- 2 tablespoons of cold water
