February Around The Web

February has come to a close and this month’s highlight was celebrating my 30th Birthday in Breckenridge, Colorado! This month we also went salsa dancing with our friends Sydney and Salvador, Dale and I celebrated Valentine’s Day with dinner at Novel, I went to my first concert since the pandemic began (Kacey Musgraves in Denver!) and preparations for Holiday Mart 2022 continued. Around the web, I am still obsessed with these doily honeycomb hearts from Lars, I would love to make some for next Valentine’s Day!

Bathroom Updates!

Hello, friends! While spending so much time at home Dale and I have tackled our bathroom mini-renovation sooner than expected. I’ve always known we would need to do some updates in our only bathroom but I had many internal debates about what the best route would be. Should we completely gut the space and start over? Just replace the toilet and sink? We ended up somewhere in the middle: we replaced all fixtures, the toilet and sink but kept and restored the original floors, medicine cabinet and tub.

Taking down some poorly placed built in cabinets and adding tile was the biggest change! Luckily, most of the work we were able to do ourselves and the quick tile job made a huge impact. Our new tub hardware was a splurge but also makes a HUGE difference! Another aspect of the space was mixing metals. We went with chrome hardware and fixtures except in a few instances where we brought in brass to tie in with the rest of our home. Also, we painted the walls with Sherwin-Williams Nearly Peach and got these two Amazon items to make our life with a tub/shower combo so much better: Shower Caddy and Umbra Flex Drain Stop. Have you pushed a home project up during this time? Photos of the final bathroom to come, we are just waiting to have the tub resurfaced and my print from my friend Alyissa to arrive!

Room Refresh

Recently I had the opportunity to help refresh the look of my childhood room. My seventh grade self fell in love with lavender walls, a pink shag run, and a monogrammed headboard, but it was definitely time for an update! To cut down on cost I decided it would be best to try and work with some of the existing elements. I kept all of my white furniture and got a new bed. With the addition of a few new items the room is really starting to come together! My favorite being the new Anthropologie bedding which has a stunning color palette. The bed should be the centerpiece, and this embroidered duvet does the trick. Take a look at some of my favorite pieces in the room:
