I haven't had the fourth dimension to blog, but Instagram has top away my lifeline to you lot guys inwards the yesteryear nine months, every bit it's an slowly identify I tin laissez passer on notice part things when my 24-hour interval is otherwise jampacked amongst chasing an energetic trivial tot around (She's crawling at warp speed now....omg!). So, to all of you lot who bring interacted amongst me lately....thank you. Your words bring done thence much for my trivial world, together with I promise inwards some agency that this weblog pays it frontward together with tin laissez passer on notice brand someone else experience less solitary inwards their ain journey.
So, you lot guys, that's where I am today...chasing this trivial daughter around. She's well-nigh to live on nine months old, together with my globe has been totally rocked. I'm thence happy together with excited together with hopeful together with filled amongst love, together with also sometimes I'm simply direct upwardly drowning. But, mostly, I simply desire to live on honest well-nigh it all because this mom gig is the hardest affair I've always done, together with I recollect it's a total disservice to other moms to pretend similar it's easy. But, I dear her similar crazy together with I wouldn't merchandise this experience for anything.
I mean, simply facial expression at that precious face. I'm pretty certain she was sent to this planet to interruption me in.
Now that the life updates are out of the way, let's motility on to my pocket-size bath remodel.
I know that's a weird transition, but how does ane actually utter well-nigh the trials of maternity together with a crappy bath remodel inwards the same post? I'm thinking you lot simply squash them together together with pretend similar it's normal.
So, I of late spruced upwardly our pocket-size invitee bathroom. It's the same bath that I painted stripes inwards a few years dorsum inwards this post that went unexpectedly viral. I know a lot of you lot guys loved that bathroom, thence don't teach mad at me. But, sometimes you lot simply teach sick of things together with require to alter it up. And that's how I was feeling well-nigh this bathroom.
Just to remind you, here's what this bath looked similar when nosotros offset moved into the solid well-nigh v years ago, earlier I did anything to it at all.
And hither is what it looks similar today, later my most recent updates. The expert word for all of us on normal budgets is that this entire bath remodel toll me less than $100 together with pretty much all it took was some slowly pigment ideas.
Here's what I did.
I painted the walls amongst ane of my favorite colors, Benjamin Moore Chelsea Gray. It's a beautiful deep greyness that industrial plant actually good amongst almost anything. It feels modern together with inviting without feeling likewise nighttime or heavy.
I also removed the builder degree bath mirrors together with hung a framed mirror I constitute at a preserve store several years ago. It was originally a gross bronze color, but I spray painted it with Krylon Champagne Nouveau (affiliate link) together with I dear the agency it turned out. I kinda recollect it makes the space.
Also, fyi, that is the my favorite spray pigment color. Hands down. I operate it on all my mirror frames, including the ane inwards the primary bedroom that thence many of you lot guys inquire me about.
The bath vanity I painted amongst some fossil oil based enamel pigment (the same pigment that I used on this dresser), together with thence I updated the hardware amongst some groovy polished nickel pulls.
And then, also, because this vanity is stinky together with former together with from the 1970's, I took out all the drawers together with painted the insides of each drawer amongst fossil oil pigment inwards the color Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze. I also removed the former faucet together with drain, together with replaced it amongst a novel brushed nickel bath faucet. Nothing fancy, but amongst paint, novel hardware, together with a novel faucet, you lot tin laissez passer on notice actually spruce upwardly an otherwise outdated vanity.
The countertop is simply your basic white faux-marble. It's non great, but when you lot update everything around it, you lot almost don't fifty-fifty run into it. In an ideal world, I would simply gut this vanity together with start fresh, but I bring a shaver to feed.
I added some artwork to the trivial one-half wall.
Nothing fancy, simply some Homegoods loot.
Also from Homegoods....the trivial peony arrangements together with the dark together with white Equus caballus fine art over the toilet.
And that's pretty much the whole makeover!
Oh, together with ane terminal thing....something that I recollect makes a huge difference. I painted the bath tile grout. I did a tutorial well-nigh this years agone when I painted our kitchen together with primary bath tile, together with it continues to live on ane of my most pop posts ever. So, that leads me to believe that I'm non the entirely ane trying to figure out how to laid clean tile grout. :)
So, when it came to this invitee bathroom, the tile inwards hither isn't bad. It's simply former white marble tile, but the grout was xxx years former together with actually needed some help. So, here's the earlier pic. You tin laissez passer on notice run into how dingy the grout is.
And here's a painting later I painted the walls. You tin laissez passer on notice run into simply how much of an eyesore the grout was.
The production I operate to pigment grout is called Polyblend Grout Renew
(affiliate link), together with for this bath I used it inwards Snow White. I likely used 10% of this bottle when I painted the tile grout, thence a trivial goes a long way.

And I won't repeat the tutorial (because my original post goes through the entire procedure inwards detail), but allow me simply country you....this is the easiest project. It's fourth dimension consuming, but it's thence easy. All you lot require is a toothbrush together with some newspaper towels.
And perchance a drinking glass a vino to distract you lot from how dull it is.
You tin laissez passer on notice actually run into what a large divergence it makes when you lot run into the painted tile grout adjacent to the dingy tile grout.
And ane time it's done, it's crazy...it genuinely feels similar a novel bath floor. I've done this inwards 3 carve upwardly rooms now, and in my master bathroom, it held upwardly for nearly 3 years earlier it needed a acquit upon up. So, totally worth the effort.
And that's the novel invitee bathroom, you lot guys. It's crazy how happy this crappy trivial room makes me. Nothing inwards hither is new, but I spent a lot of fourth dimension inwards hither yesteryear myself, sitting on the flooring inwards sweatpants thence ugly they should live on banned, scrubbing tile amongst a toothbrush, listening to podcasts, together with enjoying a few spare moments of someone peace knowing my precious babe was snoozing blissfully inwards the adjacent room.
So, is this what 32 is supposed to experience like?
Love ya'll.
Thanks for beingness here.
I've got some major things inwards the industrial plant for this saltation together with summer, together with I'll definitely live on blogging well-nigh it, thence I promise to live on around a trivial to a greater extent than than I bring been. Fingers crossed.
xo,
