Speaking of small projects, we've done a few small things in our half bath.
I do not love the location (at the end of our galley kitchen), but with three children, I am thankful it's there.
By the way, the end of the kitchen is actually an addition.
The doorway beyond the kitchen table and chairs had swinging doors when we moved in. Not super convenient for us, so they came down (don't worry, we kept them). And what we now call the pantry room, used to be laundry. While I do not love laundry in the basement, we needed all the kitchen space we could get. So, hubby and I ripped out cabinets and hauled the heavy appliances to the basement.
The pantry room not only has shelving for storage and a coffee station under the window, but also the refrigerator. No, not ideal for your kitchen triangle, but it was there or partially blocking off doorways on the opposite end of the kitchen. It works, and we're all used to it now. We do a lot of walking in the kitchen.
Now that we all know the background story, here are the half bath pictures.

When we first purchased the old house, I had no affinity for the sconces. Now though, with the small changes, I love them! We also decided to keep the wallpaper. It is cute and works in this space.
The only thing left is a new mirror or a new paint color on that one. Any ideas?
One more note. I am sure many of you love the old sink. We do too, BUT it was so short. Hubby is rather tall and I am not short. Plus, the thing leaked and leaked and we were tired of fixing it.
The current sink is what was thrown into the main bath when they tried to do a quick fix-up before listing the old house. It did not match at all, so moving it to the half bath meant a new sink upstairs!
And if you must know, we also replaced the toilet in the half bath, but who wants to see pictures of that...
