Where to Buy Marble Sink: AtaMarble
The marble sink was the star of the show, but it was a little pricey when I searched locally. So, I decided to take a chance and look online. To my surprise, I found AtaMarble on Etsy, and the custom sinks from Turkey blew me away. Even with shipping, it cost me less than $1,500. I talked to Oylum, and they made the process a breeze. They even sent me pictures and videos on Whatsapp before shipping! If you're searching for a marble sink vanity, I highly recommend them.
Marble Sink Vanity
Listen up, folks! If you want to elevate your moody powder room from blah to spa-like, a marble sink vanity is the way to go. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about - I've spent way too much time in my dark powder rooms. Marble is the Beyoncé of building materials: timeless, beautiful, and durable. Plus, it's the perfect match for Sherwin Williams Iron Ore paint, making your dark powder room feel like a moody paradise.
But before you go out and buy any old marble sink, consider the size and style that's right for your space. You don't want to end up with a gigantic vanity that makes your small powder room feel like a closet. And let's not forget about style - do you want traditional, modern, or somewhere in between? Your marble sink vanity should complement your dark powder room's overall design, not clash with it like your cousin's latest haircut.
Now, let's talk maintenance. Marble is beautiful but high maintenance, like that one ex we all had. If you spill something, clean it up immediately, or risk facing the wrath of a permanent stain. And don't even think about using harsh chemicals - your marble sink vanity needs a gentle, pH-neutral cleaner to stay in tip-top shape.
Moody Powder Room Paint: Cost Breakdown & Best Dark Paint
Next up was the paint color for our moody powder room. We went with Sherwin Williams Iron Ore in Semi-Gloss because it perfectly complemented the cool gray of the marble sink. One tip for choosing paint colors is to use 8" x 8" peel-and-stick paint sheets. They are mess-free; you can move them around to see what color works best for your room.
Sherwin Williams Iron Ore Paint
We went with Sherwin Williams Iron Ore in Semi-Gloss because it complimented the cool gray in the marble sink. We bought 2 gallons for this room (we have 1/2 gallon left).
Sherwin Williams Iron Ore is a rich, deep shade of black that is perfect for creating a dramatic and sophisticated space. This paint has a matte finish that adds texture and depth to the walls, and it pairs beautifully with white or metallic accents. Iron Ore is a versatile color that can be used in a variety of styles, from modern to traditional.
One of the benefits of using Sherwin Williams Iron Ore paint is its durability. This paint is made with high-quality pigments and resins that resist fading, chalking, and peeling. It is also easy to clean and maintain, making it a great choice for high-traffic areas like powder rooms.
When painting a dark powder room with Sherwin Williams Iron Ore paint, it's essential to consider the lighting in the room. A well-lit space will help to balance out the dark color and prevent the room from feeling too oppressive. Consider adding a statement light fixture or sconces to the room to provide ample lighting.
COST
Iron Ore is a rich, deep black that can add texture and depth to your walls. Plus, it's durable and easy to clean, which is crucial for high-traffic areas like powder rooms. We had a fantastic paint contractor, Bruno, who charged us around $900 for labor and material. If you're in the Seattle area, I highly recommend him. His number is (206) 861-3975. Just tell him Sabrina sent you!

Wall Paneling Estimate of Cost:
- $3500 carpenter
