This Jack & Jill bathroom moment between Polly and Faye's rooms has never been shared here on the blog, but it's one of my favorite spaces. I love how practical and functional it is to have this connecting bathroom for the two youngest, and although we haven't done anything more than lay down a bathmat […]
Rug, Faux Lavender Stems, Sconce, Arch Mirror, Faucet, Cabinet Hardware, Curtains, Cafe Curtain Rod, Ceramic Canisters, hand towel This week, after a lot of back and forth, I peeled up the peel and stick floors we laid in the girls bathroom last year. You can check out this post from February about our review of […]
It seems to be only yesterday that we laid peel and stick tile over the girls bathroom floor. Anybody else? In reality, 5 months have flown by, and they have been put to the ultimate test so we thought it was time to spill the details - the answer to everyone’s burning question, “how is […]
We generally don't do back to back reveals, but consider yourself spoiled, because TODAY we're showing you the phase 1 makeover we did in the little girls' bathroom!! (If you missed yesterday's playroom reveal, check it out here.) Last week, we put the pedal to the metal to focus on tying up a few project […]
We have been doing a quick phase 1 renovation of the girls' bathroom (read more about the plans here!) over the last week and it's coming along so well! We painted the countertops last week using the same countertop paint (and color--Putty!) as we used in our kitchen in our first house nearly a decade […]
The little girls' bathroom was not on our radar this year. Not because it didn't need attention, but because it's honestly the perfect size for our little girls (6 and 3) with an extra short countertop and toilet--even our 3 year old can reach the faucet! We knew, given our height and the height of […]
It's been just about a year since we finished the girls' bathroom (see all the afters right here!), but while we were tackling our own bathroom renovation, there was a solid month that we thought we were going to have to tear it up and start over. It was a dark time and if it […]
Drilling into freshly laid tile is a little bit scary, even for seasoned DIYers like us. In fact, last year after we finished the girls' bathroom, we thought we'd bypass the whole project and just put a tension shower rod up and call it good. Fast forward and every two weeks since finishing, we were […]
The bathroom downstairs, mostly belonging to our girls (but overnight guests will use it, too!) is finally finished! when we first started in February, we never anticipated it taking this long, but here we are 7 months later having just put the finishing touches on. Between pregnancy and having a baby, and several items being […]
When we were choosing the metal finishes for the room--faucets, lighting, towel rings and bars, toilet paper holders, mirrors and frames--I was all over the map. I knew I wanted to mix a few different metals, but I also wanted to make sure it didn't look crazy. There were a lot of choices to make […]
The bathroom is thiiisssss close to being finished; we're just waiting for a few final accessories to arrive. Today I wanted to share the free-standing linen cabinet we ordered for the room and the others we were considering, too! Floor Tile | Wall Tile | Towel Bar | Towel | Art | Linen Cabinet | Basket I […]
This post is sponsored by HANDy Paint Products. I didn't think we'd ever get to the point of painting this little bathroom and yet, this week the time came to pick a color and paint that tiny bit of wall this windowless room has. A small room with no windows can present a challenge when […]
It's been a little while since we checked in with the girls' bathroom, but the tiling is this close to being done so I thought we were due for an update! In our last update, we shared the tile combination we were planning on using for the space--this very budget subway tile (it's on sale!) and ceramic […]
We really hoped to have the tile up on the walls of the girls' bathroom to show you today, but we had to backtrack on a couple things before we could do that, along with some health complications the past two days, set us back again. We still have a goal to be completely done […]
This is a post that's been a long time coming and so many of you have asked about it, so we're happy to share some progress in the girls' bathroom downstairs. You may recall our last update, where we moved the vents and drains. Since that was nearly 3 months ago (what?!), here's a refresher of […]
We're back with another installation of Bathroom Reno 101, where we're taking you all on an in-depth journey while we renovate our daughters' bathroom. Today I wanted to share how we came up with a design plan or "mood board" for the room. This was my first time designing a bathroom and there was a lot […]
Quick Note About Permitting: Permit laws vary from state to state, and sometimes town to town. Before starting any renovation, always check with your local permitting office to discuss your plans and they can give you guidance on whether or not your plans require a permit, what you need to do to obtain one, and how […]
Good news! We have officially broke ground on our next project--the girls' bathroom downstairs!--and to be honest, I've never been more intimidated for the start of a project. We've never really done a full bathroom gut job including moving plumbing and reconfiguring a layout. And before we dove in, I knew hardly anything about what it takes […]
