Earlier this year, I set a goal to finish our main floor bathroom. Since we moved four years ago, I had not even touched it. It still had the "live, laugh, love" wallpaper border that was just, quite frankly, dated. My goal was too keep the remodel inexpensive, easy, and fast. This isn't our forever home and I didn't see the point in dumping a lot of money into the main floor bath if I wasn't going to see a return on my investment.

  Our previous bathroom had bead board that was a pale pink but instead of ripping it up, I decided to work with it and just paint it the color of our trim. The people who lived in the home before us left a lot of materials from their home improvements. When we ripped out the old vanity, I just cut and patched the rest of the bead board that wasn't getting covered with the vanity. We went with a tall 24" vanity as opposed to our previous 30" one. The main floor bath felt dingy and crowded so I wanted to give it as much space as possible. The bathroom vanity is not one I would recommend but it fit our budget and with some new knobs, it was aesthetically pleasing. 

  Finally, the ever controversial luxury vinyl tile. This is a a peel and stick product, or as a friend of mine cleverly put it lick and stick (lol). I did plenty of research for this product knowing that it could be problematic. I knew full and well what I was getting into. Long story short, I end up putting a commercial adhesive to the tile to the bottom to insure that the vinyl would stick. After the grout, it is so beautiful *insert heart eyes* and I love it so much that I am considering doing the tile in front of our front door.

 Here is a rough mood board that I created to see how many vision would come into play.

While you are at home quarantining with your family, check out this small list of things to do that I created! It has some book recommendations that I have been recently, entertaining podcasts, and activities to do with your family. 

  It took a while, but I finally got Frankie's room all put together. The girls were going to share the room but the clutter was driving me nuts! So I caved and just gave them separate rooms. I then started and stopped the project in-between vacation trips. I still have some touch up paint to do, but I am pretty proud of how it turned out.
  One of the pieces I am most excited about is Frankie's print of her birthday. I used Mapiful to customized my very own print for her room. The stars are what the night looked like on the day she was born. She has been such a delight in our life and this print is just a special addition in her room. 

  How I treat these moments teaches my children on how to handle future moments. It's the difference on whether they respond with kindness or react with fear. Faith, hope, and love are the currency of Heaven and I have the ability to release Heaven wherever I go. Often times, people don't realize what storms they are carrying inside of them, so their lives replicate the storms that are fuming on the inside. During this time, let us lean into love. It doesn't take much, I promise.
