The Powder Room at Our Watkins Creek Remodel

A powder room is the room in a home that visitors see most clearly and most completely, because it is a small room and they are alone in it. In the Watkins Creek home, Sebring Design Build treated it accordingly: as a room with a strong point of view and the materials to back it up.

The cabinetry is finished in Sherwin Williams Ripe Olive with a Champagne stain on the wood elements: a pairing of a deep, earthy green with warm wood that creates depth and interest in a footprint that cannot rely on scale to make an impression. Metro Recessed MDF panel doors and solid wood slab drawers keep the profile clean while the color carries the room.

Mikado Cemento quartz on the countertop provides the right counterpoint to Ripe Olive cabinetry: a cool, concrete-toned surface that recedes slightly and allows the cabinetry color and the vessel sink to lead. The Native Trails Morro vessel sink in hand-hammered copper introduces a warm, artisan material at the room's most visible point. Its organic surface and warm tone pull the Champagne wood stain and the Ripe Olive green into a coherent tonal conversation.

The Delta Trinsic single handle faucet in Matte Black provides a fixture with clean cylindrical geometry and a finish that reads as modern without competing with the copper sink below it. Kohler Highline toilet completes the room's functional requirements in a profile that stays correctly in the background. The result is a powder room that guests will ask about, which is exactly the right measure of success for a room this size.
