Would I have liked to save the pink bathroom? Yes. I love the idea of the save the pink bathroom movement.
BUT, when you have missing tiles exposing subfloor and a moldy pink toilet that doesn’t always flush, I am much less pro-the pink bathroom movement.
I knew this little laundry room had so much potential and with it being a small space we could take a risk without spending too much money.
Here is the room before…
Before laundry room
I love Grace in Magnolia’s laundry room & used it for inspiration. I didn’t choose the same paper - mostly because Target’s is easily accessible & returnable & affordable.
You’ll need more than you expect (we went back to target twice!)
This particulate pattern is very forgiving. My mom and I obsessed over lining it up just right and the pattern is so crazy it doesn’t seem to give away any flaws.
Target’s Devine wallpaper is very affordable as far as wallpaper goes - but you pay for it in frustrations with hanging the heavy duty contact paper substance.
Shelves are a polyurethane/stain combo in black.

The renovation of our home has been so consuming - I don’t want to forgot to document what is going on. I am sharing some on our instagram page, but I’m going to try to document things here too.
Here is the Master bedroom when we first saw it in February 2019 & then in June when we removed the wallpaper.
Looking back at the contrast trim, I kind of have some small regrets - should we have kept the contrast trim in the house? I guess we can always go back, but for now I need to not be in painting clothes everyday.
wall color: Benjamin Moore White eggshell (this is their base color)
trim color: BM White in semi-gloss
Rug: Flea Market FTW
Chair: Target
Mattress: Zinus
Bed Frame: Wayfair
Lamps: Amazon
Sheets: Target
Duvet: Brooklinen
Drapes: IKEA
Blinds: Amazon
Curtain Rods: Amazon
The bed frame from Wayfair that I spent way too much time debating over…we have been happy with it.
And the Zinus mattress has also been good - I know mattresses are such a personal preference, but they have a free trial if you don’t like it.
Because of some job changes this fall, we needed to supplement our income and living in an area that is a destination in the fall - we felt like it was a good opporunity to give it a try.
If you want to learn more about our experience - we shared about it in our podcast this week.
If you are thinking about trying this - it really helped us financially & was an overall positive experience.
I am still in the process of working on my the Bohemian Bedroom in Cambridge & we have made some decisions!
To see the before start here.
We have settled on this look. I guess really it is sort of eclectic too, but really, what isn’t these days?

This could be lovely in a living room as well.
If you missed it - we are moving to Virginia. It is a bittersweet time. I posted a little about it here.
We also went on a mini vacation to Stowe, VT. If you are near the Northeast, you might also love this adorable boutique hotel line like we have.
my fun glasses are zennis + i love them!
I have really enjoyed the Jade Roller for awhile now. If you haven’t heard of it. This is what is says it does…
claims:
Stimulate collagen production
Plump fine lines and reduce cell turnover time
Help close and minimize enlarged pores
Provide relief from tension headaches when rolled over temples
Tighten and firm the skin by boosting elastin
Minimize spots around chin and jawline caused by toxin build up
my review. I love the feeling of it on my face. It is soothing and relaxing. I can’t say 100% if it has done anything - but I know I love it as a daily ritual and its worth a shot!
I am also enjoying the tongue cleaner…did I just say that? This is suggested to help with bad breath and detox as well. I have heard copper is the way to go. I have been using this for a few weeks and love it!
I tried on one these sweashirts last week and am obsessed. So comfy for the spring transition that will eventually come.
I love this pillow for a bed or a couch. And this wallet-friendly version too!
Speaking of spring and summer, I really want to try one of these cute suits this summer! Has anyone tried this brand before?
