Simple Powder Room Update

We have a 2000’s builder grade powder bath downstairs that gets a lot of use. We wash our hands in it before dinner and most guests that drop by end up seeing the powder room. I was tired of the builder grade look and wanted it to feel personalized.

We made a few inexpensive changes to the powder room to update it before sinking a lot of time and money into the things I would really like to do…

But, from the time she was born, she did not want to sleep on her own at night. We tried. EVERYTHING. No one slept. She cried in the bassinet. She cried in a swaddle. She cried in the swing. There was no…
