Main Floor Bathroom Update

The main floor bathroom is pretty small, which is kind of why we decided to tackle it first, knowing that it would be a quicker and cheaper project. Our house is a lot of brown & beige tones, and we have both agreed that we want more greys, and black and white. 

This is the one and only photo I have of our bathroom before we got to work. My husband hates it lol. But, you can see the vanity, mirror, hideous flooring. The lighting was just a dark bronze builders grade light, and it was off center  which always drove me crazy! It was time to make it our style!

Just installing the new vanity made such a huge difference! The flooring was definitely not working and so we started looking around at ideas. I reallllllllllly wanted black hexagon tile. SO obsessed. But, I was having a hard time finding it in stock anywhere. So we went to Lowe’s and Bo pointed out some tile that I NEVER would have expected him to like. And I LOVE it so I’m so happy that he did too! We decided to just go with Lowe’s for the installment because we are both intimidated by doing tile ourselves. 

TADA!! What a transformation, right?! The tile really adds character! For the wall color we went with Sherwin Williams’ Storm Cloud SW 6249, it’s gorgeous.

 I am going to keep my eye out for a mirror that fits the space better, the one we have now is kind of small but it came as a set with the vanity and it does the job. We also didn’t do anything to the shower, maybe one day far down the road! 

What do you think? What would you have done differently? 

We moved to Colorado!

Holy moly. A LOT has happened since I was last active on my blog! But I suppose 3 years is a long stretch, oops! 

But I’m baaaaaack!

And, I no longer live in North Dakota. My family and I moved to Colorado! We moved to Fort Collins December 28, 2016. We stayed in our rental for about a year and a half before finally taking the plunge and buying a house. 

Real estate in Colorado is expensive! We quickly realized that nothing in our price was what we were looking for and  unless we wanted a tiny home, or a serious fixer upper, there was no way we could afford to purchase Fort Collins. So we started looking at surrounding towns.

We decided on Severance. It’s a small town, and it’s great. We stayed in the price range we were hoping, and were able to get into a beautiful brand new home! It was already just about finished when we looked at it, so we didn’t get to pick out any of the colors or anything. I do wish we did come in a bit sooner to have some say in things, because now we find ourselves looking around and wanting to make the home more US. We have already done a few things, which of course I’ll be sharing in the next couple of posts after this REintroduction haha. 

We closed on the house April 20, 2018! You can probably tell, we were so excited! 

Time to move in! We had just until the 1st to be fully moved out, so we got right to work! Such an exhausting week that was! 

This is what you see right when you walk in. Well, there is a small entry with a bench and coat rack. But, this area that you see was the selling point. Those high ceilings! Bo and I both actually looked at 3 houses separately, and both agreed that this one was our favorite layout. 

Who knew shopping for a fridge could be so much work?! Way too many choices haha! But we did decide on this LG, we got it from Appliance Factory in Fort Collins, and we have actually gone back for a few more purchases because they have such great prices! 

Well, that’s a small tidbit of an update of where I’m at nowadays. I figured that I couldn’t really post about our recent projects without an explanation as to why it’s not the same house as previous posts. I do miss that house! But I can definitely say I am happy with our new home and also being in Colorado :) 

Stay tuned for more...
