The Bathroom Renovation

I am finally posting about our bathroom renovation! It has been officially complete for a few months now, I just didn’t take the time to photograph and write about it. So here I am!

Since it has been quite some time since I last talked about the bathroom renovation, I’ll give a quick overview. When Jimmy and I moved into our house, our bathroom was stuck in the 70s… maybe even the 50s. Think dated tile floors, beige tile backsplash, old rotted vanity, and more.

In June 2016, I went to Savannah, GA with my mom for about a week. When I came home, Jimmy had begun the bathroom renovation as a surprise for my birthday.

Over the next few months, Jimmy, his dad, and I picked away at the project. They installed new fixtures (the only thing that stayed the same was the shower) and I helped paint and decorate! It was a huge undertaking, but now that it’s done, we are so glad we did it! It feels like a completely different room. I wish I had “before” pictures to show!

Here is what our bathroom looks like now.

Bedroom Overhaul Update

It has been a few months since I posted my bedroom overhaul wish list. We’ve made a tiny bit of progress, so I wanted to share some pictures!

For reference, here is what our bed looked like before.

I wish I had more “before” pictures of our bedroom. Oh well! Not too much has changed, haha.

I purchased the comforter and sheets that we wanted, and also bought a duvet cover and bed skirt. We went with all white, which I knew wasn’t the best choice because we have two pets with black fur, but we are really happy with the look of the bed!

The total cost of the comforter, sheets, duvet cover, and bed skirt for our king-sized bed was only $103! Amazon for the win 🙂

Yeah, it’s still looking pretty bare and stark! We moved our bed against a different wall, which makes the room feel bigger, but now we don’t have room for normal-sized nightstands. I’m sure we will figure something out, though.

I bought the “I think I’ll just be happy today” sign from Francescas for $12 and the “I love you” art from Kirklands for under $10! They were both on sale, but I can’t find them on the websites anymore. I don’t plan on keeping the art where it is in the pictures, I just needed to put something on the wall so it wasn’t so bare.

The rest of the room is pretty boring looking. A forlorn looking basket and yoga mat, a mirror I want to frame and hang, and curtains that don’t match the room at all. Also, can you spot Lola? She has her own “bedroom” 🙂

I’m happy with the progress so far, we just have a lot more to do. Next, I think I’d like to find curtains that match the room better and get some colorful throw pillows!
