Things are HAPPENING in our master bathroom! Woot! Specifically, instead of a mirror, we now have a big empty wall with ugly 80’s wallpaper and black patches of some kind of adhesive. Hooray for progress! So this is what our bathroom looked like very, very recently: An absolutely enormous frameless, builder grade mirror (to go with the ridiculously long vanity, … Continue reading
Remember that time when we spent ONE HUNDRED YEARS tiling our master bathroom and then totally abandoned the room and did nothing else in there for months? Yes, well, all that is about to change! Any month now. But I’m always thinking about our master bath, you see. I go in there pretty much every single day. I brush my … Continue reading
We’re mostly still working on Abe’s new room this week, but I also have a couple of small bathroom updates to share. My small bathroom updates have me itching to make some more progress in there and start seeing things come together. So fingers crossed for a another snow week so Dave will be home to help! Just kidding. I … Continue reading
Linking this post up with the Be Bold Challenge link party. I’d hoped to have a brand new bathroom project finished in time for it, but then I didn’t. But then I reflected and decided that tiling without a clue what we were doing was pretty damn bold of us. So. True to my word, I will not be making … Continue reading
We are all finished with the tile! And when I say “all finished” I mean that we still have to do the grout and the sealant. So not really all finished. But the end is in sight! You know, having a blog can be really motivating when you’re trying to get stuff done. Because once you’re finished, you get to take … Continue reading
….because we don’t have one yet. First I’m going to tell you about one of the quick and easy projects I’ve been trying to do more of to help me cope with how agonizingly slow tiling is. Then I’ll whine about tiling some more. You are all welcome to leave after the non-whining part if you’d like ;). I’ve had these … Continue reading
A very long time ago, I posted a picture on Instagram of this light fixture: ….and then I said nothing else about it for months. Until now! It’s in my master bathroom. And, actually, it’s been there since Thanksgiving, but I’m just now getting around to telling you about it. It’s also still crooked, but I got tired of waiting … Continue reading
Finally! A post about actually accomplishing things in our master bathroom! There will be lots of these I suspect, because I don’t think we’re going to be finished with this room for about a hundred years. Or a few months anyway. Sometimes I think I should rename this blog, “The Nasty Carpet in Our Master Bathroom,” because I feel like … Continue reading

At some point last week I started feeling a little frantic about my bathroom, because, while I had some big sweeping ideas about what we need to do in there, generally speaking, I didn’t really have a vision of it all coming together. I’m getting closer now. I’ve been pinning a lot, and here are some themes that have emerged: 1. … Continue reading
