About Me:

I am a 24-year-old married gal; a young professional living in a college town; a 2010 college graduate; a mom to two Corgis, one cat, and a handful of fish; and I... just bought a house. Please join me in the marathon of DIY projects that my husband and I have planned to fix up our house and truly make it "ours!"

Master Bathroom Reveal

I transformed my builder's grade master bathroom simply by painting the walls and ceiling, refinishing the vanity, spray painting all of the hardware, installing crown molding, building frames for the bathroom mirrors, replacing the light fixtures and sink faucets, and building pallet wood floating shelves for storage. A true transformation for under $200!
