If you’re just tuning in, we’re kicking off the renovations of two bathrooms in our house - the kids’ baths! Last week, I shared the before photos of each tiny space and this week, as promised, I’m…

The first big project we’re tackling in our new (old) house is renovating my kids’ bathrooms! They’re in pretty sorry shape - worse than we knew when we first bought the house. We knew we’d want to redo them eventually, but we decided to go ahead

If you’ve been with me on this journey to welcome a new baby girl to our family in December, you know that I’ve been hinting at some of the nursery design elements over on Instagram and here on the blog, but…
