Yes, it’s been over six months since we shared the plan. Truthfully, much of it has been done for a while and it was just a few details that still needed to be wrapped up. We’ve been using the space, and loving it, for several months. I’ve got some more to share with you about …

On Monday, I’ll be sharing the reveal of our bathroom renovation… so excited! For today, I wanted to document the sights, sounds and smells of our first-ever reno because even though these photos aren’t pretty, they remind us of all we did! I guess this post is kind of a “scrapbook” for me — a …
We’ve got a small window in our bathroom. I love the light it provides; but I’ve been kind of puzzled as to how to finish it off. It seems silly to cover much of it {due to the light} and it doesn’t need to be functional since the glass is frosted. While shopping at …
So it’s time to discuss vanity tops. A few weeks ago when I shared our marble vanity top I mentioned that I wanted to share about the decision-making process. Choosing a vanity top was a much lengthier and more expensive process than we expected. If you recall from our original plan, we were …

A couple weeks ago our tile was installed, and now we’ve got the next big piece in place… our vanity top. I’m so pleased with it. The grey veining is beautiful. Picking out our vanity top was not easy. Carrara marble is what I had in mind from the beginning; but the initial prices that …
How was your weekend? I love the small projects Erica shares each Friday and this weekend project was just like many of those… simple, colorful and a great use of items I had on hand. If you’ve been around for awhile you know that Mike and I are in the middle of renovating our bathroom. …
Hello, new tile floor. To call this an improvement is an understatement. You might remember from the original plan that we were considering installing the tile ourselves. However, as we got into the project several things changed our minds: It took 4 days to remove the wallpaper {spread out over a few weeks as we …
After sharing some bath organization tips last week, I’ve been excited to tell you a little more about the plans for our bathroom renovation. Here is where we are starting. After living in this space for two months there are a few problem areas we’ve identified: There is only one sink; but enough space for …
