Guest Bathroom Remodel Part 2 ~ Completed!

June 22, 2016

Our weekend company has come and gone. It was so nice having the house filled with people. I absolutely love having guests stay because I love being a hostess, and enjoy spending time with family/friends. My cousins that stayed were able to enjoy our now complete guest bath.

In my earlier post I mentioned our wallpaper dilemma, and now to further expand on that.. The previous owner used wallpaper borders in multiple rooms. They have been very difficult to get down, and I’m so glad this is the last room we have to remove them from. The process we used in the other rooms was using a hair dryer and a good spray remover for the glue. This was definitely a two person job, where one would be peeling the paper while the other followed ever so slowly behind with the hair dryer to heat up and loosen the glue. Once the outer layer was gone we could then spray ‘WP Chomp’ gel remover from Home Depot on the second layer which mainly consisted of glue. This particular brand did the best job out of the few we tried, therefore I would definitely recommend it.

Guest Bathroom Remodel Part 1

June 13, 2016

Our guest bathroom is pretty much complete! Whew! It’s been a long ride, and slowly but surely we are coming to the end. The only items left are painting the door and scrubbing the grout on the floor to hopefully get it nice and white. The floor was the only part of the bathroom we didn’t change. Technically you could count the shower too, but we did tear out the door and door frame to replace with a frame-less clear glass one (the previous was a frosted 1980s style glass with a thick metal frame).

This bathroom is located on the lower level of our home which was built in 1986. It definitely had a very late 80s, early 90s, look to it and was in need of an update.

Here are a few “before” photos:

Starting Baby Food

June 10, 2016

And… I’m back! Although this is a new blog that I’m still incredibly excited about doing, I’ve been on a brief hiatus. Graduated college, celebrated my 1st Mother’s Day & 1st wedding anniversary, 30th birthday, and Evan’s 1 Birthday!! It’s been a wild month of amazing celebrations and I’m so excited to just take it easy this summer with my little 1-year-old. Thought I’d kick things off with a brief post about Evan’s first experiences with baby food, what worked and what didn’t.
