Welcome to our Sunday favorites. Every Sunday Annie, Mary Ann and I feature a few things that caught our eye this week. This week I am featuring one of the talented Sherry Hart’s projects. She is going to show you How to make a small powder room big on style. I have several other goodies I think you will enjoy as well. Let’s get to it.
SHERRY HART’S JEWEL BOX POWDER BATH-HOW TO MAKE A SMALL POWDER ROOM BIG ON STYLE
Sherry Hart is a genius when it comes to curated gallery walls. Last week she shared how she took a tiny powder bath from blah to wow! Here is a sneak peek of how Sherry transformed this tiny powder room. You can see the before and afters on her blog here.
As you can see she painted the walls dark for impact.
She created several gallery walls with vintage prints, frames and other interesting artifacts for a collected look.
Love this vintage bamboo etagere and the textural interest it creates against the dark walls. Sherry added interesting artifacts and treasures to dress it up.
OUTFIT OF THE WEEK-JOHNNY WAS
I gotta tell you this Johnny Was Duster is pricey but it is FABULOUS! It comes in XXL too. If you love it as much as I do you might want to put it on your Christmas list. You can find similar less pricey Johnny Was dusters on Ebay here. They also always have a few dusters in their sales sections on their website here. Bookmark it and keep checking in. The good ones sell out quickly.I already caved and purchased it for myself for an early Birthday gift. You will see it in an upcoming post.
I accessorized it with inexpensive turquoise jewelry from Etsy, well-priced faux suede leggings, my favorite bed stu boots (comfy too), a favorite turtleneck from Banana on sale, and a special hat from Sundance. All items are linked below the graphic.

PASO HAPPENINGS
If you follow me on Instagram, you noted that we made a quick trip to Paso for the 2nd celebration of Les Petit Canailles (a favorite restaurant). We spent the night at the Gilson-owned (Hotel Cheval fame) Stables Inn. Their sister hotel Hotel Cheval is always full (for good reason). This is a less pricey, family and pet-friendly alternative.

The gathering room is where you can grab a coffee or relax with a glass of wine. It has huge barn doors that open the entire space. If it is a nice day they have it completely open.
Kerry Lou has another great makeup tutorial up on Youtube.
If you are new here, Kerry Lou is an over 50 makeup artist from NYC. She has begun a series of makeup tutorials where she uses women our age. They are really wonderful in my opinion. Here is the link to her latest tutorial on Youtube here. I interviewed her for Ageless Style here if you missed that.

MARY ANN HAS LAP OF LUXURY GIFTS FOR HER AND MORE
ANNIE IS GOING TO SHOW US HOW TO MAKE GIANT PAPER BAG SNOWFLAKES
Well, that’s it for my Sunday Favorites including How to make a small powder room big on style. I will be back on Tuesday with a couple of gift guides and more. I did not do an Outfit of the Week last week, and several of you missed it, so I did that instead. I am planning some changes for the New Year which I will need your input on when I send out my annual survey. Have a great week!
Hi Cindy,
I follow Sherry Hart (thanks to your introduction from some time ago, thank you). This powder room truly is a jewel box.
The Stables hotel looks great. I love boutique hotels where they resemble a cozy home rather than identical rooms everywhere.
I have a few Johnny Was pieces, this one is on my wish list.
xo,
Karen
Hi Karen
Sherry Hart is just amazing, she inspires me daily. If you are passing through Paso, the Stables is a great place to stay and not as pricey as many of the others. I remember that you are a Johnny Was fan as well. I just wish they weren’t quite so pricey!
That powder room is fantastic!!!! Just started following Sherry😍
Hi Linda
You will love following Sherry. Her work is so inspiring! So glad you enjoyed the post!
I love Shari Hart, she is an amazing designer. I just made some of those paper bag snowflakes this week, so funny to see them on your post.
I loved following along on your trip, the hotel was fabulous!
Off to watch the Youtube video.
As for the Johnny Was duster it is fabulous! I cannot wait to see you model it.
Hi Eliz
Sherry is quite amazing. It has been so much fun watching her come into her own. That Johnny Was duster is to die for! Did I need it? Of course not!
Love Johnny Was, but the last thing I need is horizontal stripes going round my bum! I did buy the leopard duster, thought. So agree about the powder room. Such devotion to detail. Tell Steve congrats on the Purdue win from an eager and anxious OU alum.
Absolutely LOVE the outfit – but, I’m going to have to find the knock offs ;>} Thanks for the inspo!
I live in the Paso Robles area. It is very special! Multiple wineries, good restaurants and gorgeous views. The weather is always perfect. Summers are hot but we love the heat. Just a short drive to the beach.
That powder room is so sophisticated. Guests would be using it just to see the art display!
In your picture of The Stables, I can see from the background exactly where it is located. I think it was one of the vintage motels along that strip. I can’t believe I’ve driven right by it twice recently and didn’t notice (you know about one of those times!) Nice to have the Gilsons put their touch on another property.
I too read Sherry Hart’s posts and I too think that she is an inspiring deocator. Love Love Love the powder room! Her attention to detail, as well as her editing, is always perfection. Stables looks like a wonderful place to stay.
Carolina you hit the nail on the head. She knows when to quit and when she has it just right. She never over works a room. I constantly study her for inspiration.
I also followed Sherry Hart’s powder room renovation & love everything she did. Dark walls, for whatever reason, are really resonating with me lately. Maybe because I have so much white right now? Simply white has been my go-to. Love the Johnny Was look, but just don’t think I can pull it off. Maybe the earrings?
Thanks for another great Sunday post!
That powder room that Sherry did is so great…reminded me of yours in your last house with the bamboo shelving. Yours was pretty too. The gathering room at the Stables Inn looks so inviting!
Oh gosh Mary Ann I am honored that you would think my powder room echos anything close to Sherry’s. That’s what friends are for, right? The Stables is fun for sure
Sherry Hart is indeed a genius with gallery walls and everything else she designs! If anyone isn’t following her blog, they should be! Looking forward to checking out those makeup tutorials-thanks for all you share!
Couldn’t agree more. She is amazing!
YES!!!!
Hi Jan
Sherry constantly inspires me. You will enjoy Kerry Lou. She knows her stuff!!
