Back in 1950, majority of homes didn’t have a separate powder room. There was a main bathroom that everyone shared and the sinks and tubs were very colorful. Teals, pinks and yellows were a “high fashion” look that was sought after. Not so much today.
Luckily, our fixer upper did have an extremely small powder room located between our kitchen and family room. During demo, Jason and I were discussing this room and the door with our contractor. I hated that the door opened into the hallway. The door would always have to be shut. Zero air flow going into this room. We were discussing options: pocket door, barn door or possibly moving the door. As we were all standing in our over-sized family room, the solution was right under our feet. Lets take some space from the family room to give to the bathroom. Viola! A bigger, but bite size powder room.
