Master Bathroom Design Plan

I can’t even explain how excited we are to start on our master bathroom remodel! It’s been a project we’ve wanted to do, but held off from finishing while we prioritized other projects that needed done first. It’s finally here though, and I’ve spent so much time working on the new floor plan for the […]

Master Bathroom Shelf Makeover

See how easy it was to complete this master bathroom shelf makeover. I’m sharing my step by step tutorial and the results are beautiful! Sometimes projects turn out a little less awesome than I expect (gasp!, right?), and then there are projects that entirely exceed my expectations. Projects that exceed my expectations automatically hold a spot […]

New Light In The Master Bathroom

Today it’s all about our new light in the master bathroom. Little by little, we’ve made progress fixing it up. The bathroom that sat unfinished for months, has slowly started to take shape… and it’s exciting.  You may remember when I shared a sneak peek of this light in our new entry light post… We […]

Planking In The Master Bathroom

I’m back today with more progress in our master bathroom. We’ve been able to get several things completed, and it feels amazing! This room sat unfinished for months upon months, so seeing progress is wonderful. One of my very favorite elements, is planking. That comes as no surprise to most of you, but if you’re […]

New Paint In The Master Bathroom

Ah! It’s been forever since I last shared our master bathroom. Right after we found out our shower had been leaking into the living room (they share a wall), we basically demoed the bathroom, leaving the cabinets and bathtub. We ripped out the existing tile and installed new floor tile, and shower tile. It’s been […]

Master Bathroom Tile Drama

I had to think long and hard before naming this post. Nothing seemed to fit quite right, except for the word “drama”. Problem is, I really, really, really dislike drama of any nature. I don’t want any part of it. Unfortunately, our master bathroom has decided otherwise, and we’ve been dealing with its tile issues […]

House Update: Master Bedroom & Bathroom

Hello! It’s all about the master suite today! The bedroom and bathroom are turning out simply amazing, it’s kind of surreal to see it happen. I know I say it all the time, probably more than it bears repeating, but it’s incredible to see a vision come to life. It seems like yesterday we were […]
