A few weeks ago we hosted a booth at the Fairfield County Home Expo.  I learned a lot in those two days, but the most interesting fact came from a woman who stopped by the booth to enter our Free Powder Room Giveaway. 

"Do you know how the Powder Room got it's name?" the woman said.  I honestly had no idea, and was very amused by the answer!  Back in the early daysof this country (and probably throughout the world), there was a small room off of the bedroom where men would powder their wigs, hence the name powder room!  Eventually they moved the chamber into the room as well, and the modern day powder room started taking shape.

I found this so interesting, and I hope you do too!  What a great little tidbit to share at cocktail parties.
