Can you believe the transformation on this bathroom with just cosmetic updates and a budget of less than $1500? I was able to update nearly every surface in the bathroom without doing any major renovations.

My bathroom has ugly old outdated flooring tiles. Of course, I would love to do a full gut renovation in this bathroom at some point but unfortunately it’s just not in the cards for now. So I opted for a super budget friendly option to install vinyl tile directly over the original tile. Not only does it look incredible, but it’s super inexpensive, durable, and way easier than ripping out your old tile and installing new.

Did you know you can create a beautiful, high end ceiling using light weight tiles?? It is such an easy but crazy impactful upgrade. The tiles from Ceilume are not just beautiful but are waterproof, recyclable, and made in the USA. I seriously could not be happier with how they elevate this bathroom space with very little time and effort! ** This post is sponsored by Ceilume, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.   Step one: Prep your ceiling The surface needs to be relatively flat and clean before installing the ceiling tiles. If your ceiling paint is peeling like mine, make sure you remove it first by scraping,…

So I’ve decided to join the One Room Challenge again and this time I am tackling my master bathroom! Unfortunately, there will be no major gut renovations going on here…just budget friendly upgrades to make the space more beautiful and enjoyable until the time comes to do a full renovation. So make sure to follow along each week as I update my master bathroom, one budget conscious project at a time! Current State of the the Master Bathroom This bathroom is pretty blah and boring. And dated. But the biggest problem here is the issue with moisture. The ceiling is peeling and there is some damage along the shower wall…

Ok, I’m going to be honest here. I hated our storm door. Like HATED it. But my husband didn’t want to get rid of it. And storm doors serve a purpose, right? But my door was old, ugly, and didn’t close right.   Since taking it off wasn’t an option (per my husband), I considered buying a new one…which can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars.  So instead of spending a ton of money, I did what I do best which is getting creative and working with what I’ve already got. And you know what?! It turned out pretty dang good with just a few little inexpensive updates. 1.…

My home is a super dated split level that was originally built in the late 60s with an addition built in the 90s. Unfortunately there are a lot of dated features, but specifically a ton of orangey oak throughout the home. This is most obvious on my staircases so I decided to modernize the space by updating the stair way using these three easy steps. Please note, a portion of this post is sponsored but the thoughts and opinions are my own. Step One: Paint the Railings and Spindles My original stair railings had orange oak railings and white spindles. It looked OK but had a very early 90s vibe…
