Master Bathroom Reveal

February 25, 2022 by Bethany Sy

WHAT A JOURNEY! What a labor of love! What a pain in the booty! I never dreamed how much work it would be to turn a weird little bedroom into a glorious master bathroom. But was it worth it? YES. This room started out as, what I would describe as a weird little room that's too small to be a bedroom. It's where we would throw random stuff that doesn't have a home. The blueprints of our ...

Master Bathroom Update

October 29, 2021 by Bethany Sy

If you've been following along on the 'gram or Youtube, you know we've been turning this weird little room into our master bathroom! The original blueprints of the house have it labeled as the 'sewing room', and while I love picturing the original owner in here sewing her heart out, it just isn't a practical room for us. It's too small to be a bedroom, so it's been THAT ROOM where we throw our ... [ Read More ]

How to Build DIY Floating Shelves

January 16, 2018 by Bethany Sy

This past weekend, we were ‘refreshing’ and rearranging DIY floating shelves in our upstairs bathroom, and remembering how bleak and cave-like this area above the toilet once was. Remember this? *this post contains affiliate links* Adding chunky white DIY floating shelves above the toilet was a game changer for this small bathroom’s style AND function. I went back into our blog archives to find ... [ Read More ]

A mirror? In a BATHROOM?

April 21, 2015 by Bethany Sy

Do you know how long it’s been since we had a mirror in our bathroom? Let’s just say I gained and lost 50 lbs since then. As far as I’m concerned, my collar bones were visible the whole time. Remember when the bathroom looked like this? I know that pic isn’t altogether hideous. I actually loved that mural I painted for a period of time. But it was just dark and icky-feeling. And that burnt ... [ Read More ]

Operation Laundry Room {The Backsplash}

February 20, 2015 by Bethany Sy

As promised, we’re back with the tile installation in the ‘Luxury Laundry Suite’. I call it that because it’s so obnoxiously awesome. So awesome in fact… Nick and I pulled some chairs in and drank our coffee in there this morning. That’s actually a lie. But we seriously considered it. ({click here for a recap of this whole room transformation}} As you know, we have strong opinions ... [ Read More ]

Operation Laundry Room {Shaker Cabinets}

February 16, 2015 by Bethany Sy

If you haven’t been following for the last year, click here for a quick update with before pics and details on what we’ve ... [ Read More ]

Operation Laundry Room {Vanity}

December 12, 2014 by Bethany Sy

Something very exciting happened this week… WE CAN WASH OUR HANDS IN THE ACTUAL BATHROOM instead of going to the kitchen. It’s been over a year since we ripped out the shower, and started preparing to make this a luxurious bathroom / laundry room suite. Remember when it looked like this? Old Skool. So let’s do a little recap since this has been a year in the making (and far from done)…So the ... [ Read More ]

Operation Laundry Room {Lighting}

June 18, 2014 by Bethany Sy

Do you remember how we tore out our shower and moved the washer and dryer into our giant main-floor bathroom? Don’t worry, I barely remember either. This project goes off and on our radar like… wow I almost wrote a really inappropriate metaphor. Actually I totally wrote it. Then I erased it. Because this is a family blog, and we’re only rated PG13. My point is that not a lot has been done in ... [ Read More ]

Operation Laundry Room {Flooring / Toilet}

March 14, 2014 by Bethany Sy

Guess what?! WE ADOPTED A COUPLE FISH! It’s all very exciting for sure. The girls are enamored... and we’re enamored with the amount of time they spend quietly watching them swim around. Free babysitters! Their names are Boomerang and Bandit. But that’s neither here nor there. I’m here today to discuss how  our ‘Operation Laundry Room’ progress goes in spurts (as our time and finances ... [ Read More ]

Operation Laundry Room {wiring/plumbing}

February 25, 2014 by Bethany Sy

Remember how we tore out our stand-up shower with plans to make our giant downstairs bathroom into a dreamy laundry room? This project has been frustrating for me, because there’s not a lot I can do to help... and it seems like nothing is getting done. But the truth is that A LOT is getting done. It’s just not the pretty stuff. Check out all this wiring and plumbing. WOOF. My husband's ... [ Read More ]
