DIY Brass Hand Towel Holder

It’s week four of the Fall 2018 One Room Challenge and the green bathroom is slowly moving along. There isn’t much left to do for this makeover, actually. I still need to hang proper bath towel hooks, replace the light fixture, add a shelf and accessorize – my favorite part!I didn’t accomplish much this week, […]
One Room Challenge Week 2: Out of My Comfort Zone

If you can gather anything about me by looking at my house, it is that I like white walls. White paint for every room is my go-to. So, when I spoke to my husband about painting our bathroom green, he was in disbelief. (See this post for before photos of the bathroom.) Ever since moving in, I […]
Bathroom Before + Inspiration: One Room Challenge Week 1

Hooray! Another bathroom to makeover, this time alongside the One Room Challenge. Bathrooms are, strangely, one of my favorite room makeovers to tackle. They’re relatively small, making them safe places to go bold in. And, if you don’t want to go through a complete bathroom renovation, a little paint and a change of accessories can […]

One of the first rooms in our home that I had an itch to touch up was our beige bathroom and with that, I accepted the challenge to complete a budget bathroom makeover with almond fixtures, since replacing the toilet, sink, and shower is not a priority for us right now. It was a small […]
Where Would You Tile?

There is a small cabinet and countertop (21-inches wide) next to our refrigerator in our kitchen. It is a few feet away from our island, on the opposite wall from where our oven is. It has served as a catchall counter while we finish the renovation and work towards building a desk (more on that […]
Two Shelves Down, Two to Go!

This week I’ve been working on installing floating shelves in our kitchen. Soon after we finished tiling last week, I prepared the shelves for installation and have been working on them ever since. My dad joined two pieces of ash wood together for the shelves and they turned out beautifully. I had planned to install […]
How To Remove Cat Scratches From Aniline Leather

Full disclosure: I am not a pet person. I had three dogs and two cats growing up that I loved but now that I am an adult with actual responsibilities, ones like keeping five humans alive, my love for the responsibility of having a pet has subsided. However, that didn’t stop us from adopting Fran […]
