I recently posted about some bathroom work at the farmhouse. We have a powder room in the new 2nd story addition that we have been slowly working on. We laid the penny tile a few weeks back. I got a really great deal on the tile so we thought we would give it a try. Mosaic floor tile is tough- it shows every imperfection and I was worried it would look too busy but it turned out pretty good for our first time. Once our other pieces get added, it will look wonderful!

We will be adding a vintage porcelain sink and custom vanity to the space which is next up on the list. We found this vintage Kohler sink at a salvage place this past spring. One a cold rainy Saturday we decided to go out for a drive and ended up in Milwaukee sink shopping. Our poor children. Turns out this particular salvage stop would be MUCH better on a sunny bright day but those days are too precious to be wasted shopping.

We picked out this lovely for $40. There were several to pick from, but we ultimately picked this one because it had a nice backsplash, big wash bowl and a spot for a bar of soap.

I have a serious love for cleaning old porcelain sinks. This is my third salvage sink or tub project for the house and I am getting pretty good. There is something about taking something old and making it beautiful again. This sink was a bit of challenge though- underneath all that dirt was a rust spot. I got a little worried about the condition of the enamel but with a little extra effort- it came right out.

Now I am off to design the cabinet...
