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 {Vanity}
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}
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}
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}
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 ]
Operation Laundry Room {DEMO}
So we have this GIANT BATHROOM on the main level of our home. It’s wasted space. Might as well put up a disco ball and have a dance party. I mean...what.is.UP with that useless cove to the left of the useless stand-up shower? AWKWARD. Ever since we moved into our house, I’ve tossed and turned at night... dreaming of this room being my perfect fantasy laundry room. Front-load washer/dryer, ... [ Read More ]
A mirror? In a BATHROOM?
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 ]
Laundry Room Ironing Board Wall Organizer
I’ve been doing a whole lotta nothin since Cypress was born. We snuggle, she has a bottle, I change her diaper, and then she naps. It’s a 3 hour rotation we’ve got her on, and it’s glorious. I’ve gotten no less than 9 hours of sleep each night since she’s been born. (don’t hate!) But! A girl can only be idle for so long. I need to have a project in the works, or I start feeling very ...

Rolling Mudroom Bench with Cubbies!
Phew! What a busy weekend! You too? Nick and I have been working away on our respective projects. He in the bathroom/laundry room (update coming later this week!) and I in the kitchen. There were also a number of trips to the hardware story to break up the monotony of buzzing power tools.’ Today I’m going to show you what I ‘threw together’ (HARDLY) as my next step in my kitchen ...
