How to Make a Pink Tub Look Cool
Small updates can make a big difference in making your 1950s pink tub and tile look and feel like it’s supposed to be there! I’m sharing how I updated our bathroom without tearing them out! A few months ago while I was very pregnant with our daughter, Clara, Dad and Brandon helped me update the en suite bathroom in our master bedroom. It was a project I’d been brainstorming for a while and the timing ended up being perfect! The transformation was captured for an episode of Today’s Homeowner if you want to watch it in video form here. Add Wallpaper to Ceiling The first and most obvious thing we…

Modern Master Bathroom Reveal
Small Bathroom Addition, Big Style We recently completed our master bathroom addition. Here’s how I packed a big style punch into the small space. Accent Wall I’ll start with the most obvious part of the bathroom, the tile accent wall. It’s the first thing you notice when you walk in and where we spent the most money, besides the framing and roof.

Bathroom Planning: Design and Layout
Putting Together All the Elements of a Bathroom The design, style, and layout of our small, master bathroom addition. Traditional meets modern while balancing budget and splurge! Finalize Floor Plans After all of my thoughts and musings on bathroom vanities, showers, toilet rooms, and closets, I had a pretty good idea of the layout and measurements of our bathroom addition. But in order to get a permit for building, you need more official floor plans than a sketch on a piece of scrap paper.?

Cover Up Your Bathroom
Bathroom Makeover Without Removing Tile With all of my potty talk lately, I thought I’d jump ahead of all the planning to inspire you with a finished bathroom we completed recently for Today’s Homeowner. Beige and Dark Before The bathroom was in great shape but aesthetically it needed a little improvement. I loved the shape of the tiles, but the color just felt dated and drab.

Bathroom Planning: Vanity
How to Select a Bathroom Vanity This marks the first post I’m sharing about the new master bathroom my husband and I are planning to add to our house in 2019! I first shared the news in my newsletter, so if you don’t already subscribe, click here to sign up now for more behind the scenes fun! We’ll add a door on this wall in our bedroom (eliminating the window) and the addition will be in what is now a dead spot in our yard. Win-win! As we’re in the very beginning stages of planning this addition, a lot of questions have come up. And I thought they might not…

Easy Way to Label Bathroom Drawers
How to Add Stylish Labels to Organize Your Vanity A few months ago I made a few small changes to our small bathroom. (You can watch that video here.) One of the things I did was update the drawer pulls to help them match our new towel bar and just to give the bathroom a fresh look. Then ImpressArt* reached out to me and challenged me to incorporate some metal stamping into our bathroom. Challenge accepted! I decided it was the perfect opportunity to help (slowly) teach our toddlers about personal property and that not everything is theirs! AKA, I labeled my drawers, so they know what they shouldn’t touch!…

Master Bathroom with Hotel Style
How To Add Style to a Bathroom With Paint And Ingenuity You don’t need an entire remodel or a construction company to make your master bathroom feel fresh, new, or like you walked into a high-end hotel. We recently featured this bathroom facelift on an episode of Today’s Homeowner. The homeowners, Ryan and Chloe, lived with a concrete subfloor for over a year after their son flooded and ruined the carpet. They just didn’t know where to start! Replace Flooring While we could have put down tile on the concrete to match the existing nearby tile, they were really looking for something new and different. So we started by removing the…

Now Trending: Kitchens & Baths
I just got back to Sweet Home Alabama after a whirlwind trip to Las Vegas for the annual Design + Construction Week. This huge industry event is put on by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) every year. It’s always fun to see people I see there every year and meet new people in the trade. And what better way to see the up-and-coming trends to share with you! The funny thing about trends is that they don’t just pop up and then disappear all of a sudden. The change is gradual. According to the NKBA’s annual Design Trend Report, kitchen…
