There, it's done. Finished. Finally completed. Reason it took so long was not procrastination, but the devilish details. Lots of planning design went into the transformation from a slightly feminine look to a definitely more masculine one, placing the finished result into the Victorian era.

It began in the winter months, and was put on suspension when, during the spring and summer months other, more pressing issues dealing with retrofitting our exterior windows, not merely re-decorating, presented themselves as an emergency situation, and to those issues was attention then given.

The millwork related to the powder room make-over was time-consuming, as was its installation, but nowhere near as time-wearying as the painting of it turned out to be. Putting up the wallpaper was a brief affair, and represented the penultimate touch.

Figuring out what should appear on the walls and still leave some unoccupied spaces to enjoy the mural-like wallpaper was another matter, entirely. In the end, it all worked out satisfactorily.

Although the finished product does have a masculine look, I've managed to slip in a bit of a feminizing whimsy, regardless.
