Waaay back in week 3 of the fall 2018 One Room Challenge we were making over our bathroom. I had a post written about our progress, but before I could publish it, we got big news: we were moving across the country again. There was no time to hit publish. There was no time for […]

We have a wall! And a 1.5 bath house.
We got the dividing wall up in the bathroom, and our house officially went from a 1.1 bath to a 1.5 bath. It’s week two of the One Room Challenge! The shower had pretty cute mother of pearl plastic tiles on the two walls. But the bottoms of the walls were rotten underneath, so they […]
The World’s Weirdest Bathroom
I’ve mentioned our…unique bathroom a few times here and there. But you haven’t gotten to see it yet. Because it’s been awful. The reactions–including ours the first time we saw the house–are always a blank stare in utter confusion, and then laughing.

$96 Powder Room Makeover

It’s week two of the $100 room makeover challenge! On day one of the challenge last week, I spent over half my $100 budget. On Sunday, […]
Powder Room Makeover Coming
Our master bedroom has a powder room. A sad, sad little powder room. It’s actually possibly one of the weirdest powder rooms ever designed…but more on that next month when we remodel the main bathroom. As with the rest of the house, it hasn’t really been updated since it was built in 1961. We would […]

Last-minute mother’s day gifts for a minimalist
It seems most mother’s day gift ideas are for gifts from children to adult parents. Well…I’m an adult woman with no children and an even more adult mom who happens to be a big fan of simplifying. And I would still like to give my mom a gift for Mother’s Day! I’m not a very […]
