We love our home. We love the location, the style, the age (+50 years) and the back yard with it’s 35 year old grape vine arbour … well that’s what sold it for us. And I’m not even going to mention the large attached garage that has been re-dubbed “The Lounge” which now doubles as a music studio, bar, surplus furniture warehouse.
One of the few things we don’t love is the fact that there is no washroom on the main level. There’s one on the second storey and one in the basement, but you’re out of luck on the main level. Not only is it a convenience we miss, it is an issue for guests who find stairs a challenge.
So, what to do??? We are currently in the process of planning an addition of a covered front porch. The plans include a future enclosed entryway. When that happens we will convert the current front closet into a mini powder room. And when I say mini, I’m talking 36”x43”. Yup – miniscule!
This got me searching the wonderful wide web for a “little” inspiration *snicker*. I guess we’re among the minority because I couldn’t find too many mini loos as inspiration. But here are the few I did find:

I did manage to find some neat fixtures – like the sink above – and these next ones too …

And finally, hubby has his vote in for this one .. me, ummmmm, not so much …

However this turns out, I’ll guess I should just be happy if I don’t have this :) …
