Bathroom
My Home | The Downstairs Bathroom
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Delta Brand. The opinions and text are all mine.
So let’s take a little trip downstairs shall we? I really haven’t showed you guys much of the downstairs yet, I know. It’s similar to the bowels of the ship, if you catch my drift. The laundry room is down there, as well as a man cave and play room area. As you can imagine, it’s pretty attractive. That dog will have its day, don’t worry. But for today, let me show you our downstairs bathroom.
It’s about twice the size of the upstairs bathroom and gets probably a third of the use. I think the reason for that was that it really used to remind me of a dungeon. It’s basement level, so there’s already not a huge amount of light, but combined with the super dark stained concrete floor AND the green and burgundy walls? Well it wasn’t really a winning combo, check out the before pictures at the bottom of the post.
A Day of Design in Chicago
This post is in partnership with Delta® Brand.
A couple of weeks ago I took a little trip to Chicago. Most of you probably followed along on my Instagram. The reason? A Day of Design with Delta and John and Sherry from Young House Love. Such a great concept, right? The plan? An architectural tour around Chicago to gather up inspiration for a design board we were to create using Delta and She She products. I love me some good inspiration AND a good design challenge! Sign me up.
Five for Fifty | Creating a Home Spa with World Market
This post is in partnership with World Market.
The first week of 2017 is down for the count. Happy Friday! I keep seeing everyone’s plans and resolutions for the year to come and I’ve still yet to any. I was a couple of weeks (months) behind everyone when it came to Christmas decorating…so I guess it’s fitting that I’m behind on the resolution front too 😉 Instead? I think I’ll take some more time to relax and pamper, why not right?
And speaking of pampering…I decided to partner with World Market today and bring you a home spa themed Five for Fifty. Did you know that World Market has some amazing bath and body products? I’m a sucker for good packaging. Here are some of my favorite picks. And in case you’re wondering where the main image is from, it’s from the gorgeous Farmhouse Inn and Spa. I snapped it on my last visit there!

My Bathroom Declutter
In my downtime I’ve been slowly trying to go through and organize our “hidden” storage areas: closets, basement, cabinets, etc. Everything is pretty much unpacked since our move, but lots of things were unpacked and just thrown in closets or shelves. And there they’ve sat…for me to agonize over late at night when I’m trying to go to sleep 😉 SO I’m trying to be proactive about it and to take it one step at a time. Organize, purge and rearrange until I’m happy that we only have what we need and the chaos has been tamed. Then I move on to the next one…it’s a dirty cycle. Literally.
So for today’s post I thought I show you the bathroom linen closet. This is like the bottomless pit of products. It’s a decent size and pretty much our only bathroom storage since we have a pedestal sink. So it’s definitely a catchall…kind of like the kitchen junk drawer (next project maybe???). I thought it would be fun to make a video of the whole process showing you the before and after…and everything in-between. This turned out to be a long post, but as the list of products in the bathroom got smaller, the length of this post got longer 😉 Bear with me!
