Powder Room, Mudroom, and Rear Hall
DESIGN INSPIRATION
“The marble countertop Ivy Residential Concepts selected was my starting point for the powder room. It reminded me of a precious stone, which led me to think of Elizabeth Taylor and her famous jewelry collection.”
LUXE TOUCH
“I’m obsessed with upholstered walls. I’ve wanted to do them in a powder room for a long time, and this was my opportunity.” Rachel swathed the walls in a luxurious wine-colored velvet from Fabricut and outlined the edges with a tape and nailhead trim. A mottled gold wallpaper (seen in the mirror), also by Fabricut, takes the luxurious design scheme over the top.
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS
“I collaborated with Ann Connelly Fine Art and epoxied flowers by Louisiana artist James Vella to the mirror. I love that they reference Venetian glass and reflect the theatrical atmosphere I wanted to create.”
VANITY FARE
The floating vanity allowed for a bountiful floral moment underneath. Rachel requested the floral designer bring the drama, and Stephen Sonnier of Dunn and Sonnier: Antiques, Florals, and Gifts met the challenge with planters overflowing with some of Rachel’s favorites, including peonies, poppies, anemones, and tulips.
