I’m all kinds of thrown off with the holiday this week, so I’m sharing the design I usually share on Tuesdays today on Thursday.  Why, I’m not really sure.  Hopefully I’ll be straightened out by Monday! Powder rooms can be hard.  They are usually such a small space, but also one that your guests frequent.  A […]

Have I mentioned what a pain in the arse this project is?  Being without a bathroom adjacent to our bedroom, yet a gateway to our closet, remodeling the master bathroom is not unlike a root canal.  Painful, yet necessary, and in the end, you’re so glad you did it.  Just to strengthen the argument, remember what […]

It would seem every time we finish a room, another is already is ready for construction.  That is certainly the case for our latest project: the master bathroom. This is a room we’ve put off launching into for a few reasons: 1)  We knew it would be pricy.  Nice bathrooms ain’t cheap, yo. 2)  We […]

It’s finished!  Ruby’s bathroom is complete, and I think it’s such a sweet, bright, and beautiful space.  And it was all achieved on a tight budget.  Let’s look back at what it looked like before….    So much weirdness.  The bizarre countertop extension, the light fixture box configuration, and Jon’s favorite part, the mirror that […]

Happy week-between-Christmas-and-New-Years!  It seems like these few days in the middle should just be counted as a holiday, doesn’t it?  Unfortunately this holiday has been filled with less relaxing and celebrating than we would like, as Jon has been slammed with work from clients pushing to get their deals closed by the end of the […]

My, Christmas came and when in a whirlwind!  I’m so sad it’s over, but also a bit relieved.  I felt like I was sprinting to a finish line and it feels sooooooo good to have Ruby’s playroom complete and already in full fun mode.  We stayed up until 3am putting it all together so it […]
