My outdoor rug was totally nasty: covered in mold and mildew […]

IKEA Bathroom Vanity Hack: IKEA Silveran for a Shallow Space
Like many bathrooms in old homes, our upstairs hall bathroom is small!

Vintage Tin Tile Wall Art: a Dollar Tree DIY

Since the beginning of March, my dining room has been filled with products for our bathroom renovations – a total mess!

1920s Bathroom Renovation – Where We Started
It’s been almost ten years since we purchased our 1920’s home, and during this time I dreamed of renovating our upstairs hall bathroom into something, well, nicer. The bright yellow painted tile (whyyyy did someone paint it this color?), cracked floor tile, cracked plaster, and cramped space combined to make this bathroom my least favorite […]
