$100 Room Challenge Week 4 – How to DIY a Wall Mural
Only one more week to go friends and even though my legs are definitely a little tired from a long weekend, I’m very much on schedule for next week’s reveal! This week was all about bringing some of my personality and design style into the room and the best ways I know how to do that are to build something, DIY something, and paint something – so that’s what I did. Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 We had a random warm Saturday so I took advantage of it and built a new set of shelves for above the toilet. During…

$100 Room Challenge Week Three – Now the fun starts!
Welcome to Week Three of the $100 Room Challenge – the brainchild of Erin from Lemons, Lavender, and Laundry where bloggers are given one month and only $100 to makeover a room in their home! After two weeks of teasing you with my plan for my Guest Bathroom this week is about showing you actual progress in the space — which includes lots and lots of painting. Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 As I mentioned last week, one of the reasons I decided to makeover this bathroom for this challenge is that the crown trim was really in need of repair…

$100 Room Challenge Week Two – Coming up with a Plan for the Guest Bathroom
It’s only been a week and I have to tell you that I am SOOOOOO IN LOVE with how the bathroom is looking! It honestly was hard for me to put that first stroke of new paint on the walls – after all this was the first big DIY accomplishment I took on myself – but now that things are rolling I know 100% that this was the right decision. Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 Speaking of decisions (cue the segway…….) I’ve had a few questions from my followers lately asking me about my design process, so I thought why not…

$100 Room Challenge Week One – A new look for the Guest Bathroom
Usually at this time of year I would be wrapping up my projects from the previous year and sharing my goals for the upcoming one – but I’m throwing all that out the window and jumping right into the first project of 2020! I’m extremely excited to be joining Erin from Lemons, Lavender, & Laundry this January and taking part in her $100 Room Challenge – one month, one room, only $100! It’s a big departure from the One Room Challenge that I take part in in the spring but it’s a chance to challenge my creativity and resourcefulness in ways that I think could be really helpful to readers…

Indulging in a Mini-Master Bath-Makeover with my new Bathroom Butler Heated Towel Warmer
Don’t be shocked folks but today I’m taking you inside a space I very rarely show – my master bathroom! While this room functions absolutely perfectly – there is a lot to be desired aesthetically. The budget required for a big bathroom makeover is still a few years off and even though I had done a few cosmetic updates (new mirrors, new lights, new vanity color) I kinda left it at that — and then I kinda dreaded going in there every day! All I could see was what still needed to be done, but since I didn’t have a timeline of when that would be accomplished I had nothing…

My Bathroom Favorites
I hope you guys enjoyed my first “Favorites” post when I shared tips and tools for organizing my kitchen, because today I’m taking you into my second favorite room to whip into shape – my bathrooms. We have two full bathrooms and a powder room in our home and I use the same basic formulas for keeping them all neat, tidy, and above all super functional. My number one goal for these spaces is too keep everything easily accessible (because I despise digging for my daily essentials) but as hidden as I can (because a cluttered bathroom makes me anxious). With that, here are some of my favorite ideas, products,…

Grown Up Bathroom Phase 2 – How to Build Pipe Shelves
While Eaphis and the boys were having some good father-son time at the 76er’s game yesterday, I decided to tackle an easy project in the master bathroom and put up the over the toilet shelves in our master bathroom. I had been collecting stuff to fill up these bad boys for a few weeks so I’ve been patiently waiting to put it all together. I usually don’t write up step-by-step blogs but I’ve gotten a few questions from people about the pipe shelves that I built in the boys bathroom so thought what the heck, let’s change it up a bit. So following is a semi-detailed description of how to…

Grown Up Bathroom – Phase 1
The weather is getting warmer and the days are getting longer, which can only mean one thing – Time to Paint Again! Hurrah!! Eaphis had the great idea to go ahead and finally bust out our Master Bath last night and just like that we’re one step closer to our “Grown Up Bathroom”. Unlike the other two bathrooms this is going to be a much more gradual process with basically everything except re-tiling the shower and bathub being a “Phase 1” and then the shower and bathtub being a “Phase 2” mostly because I’m still deciding how much I actually want to try to DIY myself and how much I…

Powder Room 2.0
One more room scratched off the list before the New Year! I had finally had it with the Nutella smeared walls and slowly worked my way through the Powder Room between Thanksgiving and Christmas and am finally ready to share. Since this wasn’t such a huge job I decided not to post on each stage of the project but just share some of my favorite updates – so without further ado… Thankfully Eaphis trusted that I had an end goal in mind because there were no examples that I could show him for what I was going for. I knew I wanted a mix of hard/soft and wanted it to…

Guest Bathroom FINAL UPDATE!
So my powder room has been making me angry lately…angry enough to grab my crowbar. But before I start tearing up molding (or a few hours afterwards…who’s counting) I wanted to close the books on the guest bathroom blog-wise. I’ve been holding off posting this (I actually did finish before GOBs bday) because I needed to make some small fixes and thought maybe I would try to finish off all of the last to-dos on my list before I shared….but after a few weeks away from it I realized that the small fixes don’t bother me as much as they used to and things are more than OK enough to…
