Pink Bathroom Refresh Ideas
Now that we have a beautiful new en suite bathroom, it really highlights the tragic state of our second bathroom. Since we have no intention of fully renovating this room anytime soon, I have decided that a pink bathroom refresh is badly needed! My goal is to keep this project under $200. I just want to make the bathroom more…

Main Bedroom Mood Board
Before we get into today’s post, I wanted to thank you all for the overwhelming response to our bathroom reveal. I am so grateful for every comment, like, share, etc. and you all really blew me away! Thank you, thank you. We’re back to the bedroom now with a main bedroom mood board. Blame on being a 90’s kid who…

ORC Colorful Mid Century Inspired Bathroom Reveal
If you have found me through the One Room Challenge, welcome friend! My name is Bridget and I live in the Chicago suburbs with my boyfriend, Colin, and our rescue dog, Rigby.

Light Blue Bedroom Inspiration
Now that we are almost finished with our en suite bathroom, I have started looking at some light blue bedroom inspiration. This project will seem like a piece of cake compared to completely gutting and renovating a bathroom. All our bedroom really needs is a coat of paint and some fresh decor. It is currently being used as a storage…

A Love Letter to Basements

Behind me are my best friends on their Big Wheel trikes, and my younger brother in his Cozy Coupe, pushed by my mom. I can still feel the scraping of the plastic wheels on the…

ORC Week 6 What We Learned About Tiling
If you’ve been following along, week 5 of the Spring 2020 One Room Challenge was cancelled to stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement in the wake of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor’s deaths. I took the time off to check my privilege and start the process of learning from and supporting the Black community. This will…

ORC Week 4 The Pocket Door
We are past the halfway mark of the One Room Challenge Spring 2020 season! I feel like the time is equally dragging and flying by. Which is basically how all time feels during social distancing. This week I’m going to share how we moved a pocket door from our kitchen to the bathroom! It was a huge undertaking and we…

Simple Lavender Lemon Cake
Like most people on Earth, I have been making quite a bit of banana bread during quarantine, but today I decided to mix it up with a simple Lavender Lemon Cake! This happened for a couple reasons, the main one being that we didn’t have any bananas. I also happened to have a surplus of lemons because margaritas. To top…

ORC Week 2 Demo Day
It’s the second week of the Spring 2020 One Room Challenge and this week is all about demo! Maybe it’s just not my thing, but demo day looks way more fun on tv than it is in real life. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED swinging a hammer into the plastic tiled shower, but overall demo day is just a…
