Let’s be honest; we’ve all encountered that one room in our house that, well, let’s say it could use a little makeover. For me, that room was our guest bathroom. Since October 2021, I’ve been on a quest to transform this space into something special. But my dreams of a swanky guest bathroom have been brewing since May 2021, right when we moved in. And boy, what a journey it’s been!

Sponsored by Home Depot and Gifted by Kohler

First things first, a massive shoutout to our sponsors, Home Depot and Kohler, who made this crazy adventure possible. With their support and some of their fabulous products, I set out to turn a ho-hum bathroom into a Retreat

.

The “Before” – Yawn!

When we moved into our home two years ago, our guest bathroom was the embodiment of builder-grade everything. Boring tiles, a run-of-the-mill vanity, and a tub straight out of a generic catalog. But this was our chance to make a statement and infuse a touch of my Indian heritage into the space.

The Demolition

My first order of business? Bye-bye, bathtub! In its place, we envisioned a comfortable walk-in shower – perfect for my in-laws who visit frequently and are in their late 70s. But fret not, we still have tubs in the other two bathrooms, just in case.

For the demolition work, I enlisted the help of Home Depot’s rental tools, including a rotary hammer and chisel bit, which was a real time-saver. We stripped the bathroom down to its bare bones, donating whatever we could salvage.

Plumbing process

The next step was the plumbing. We shifted the shower drain to the center, revamped the vanity plumbing to match the new console sink, and even scooted the toilet 5 inches to the right to create some extra elbow room for the shower.

Our plumbers then did a fantastic job crafting a shower curb, installing the shower floor liner, and conducting the all-important flood test to ensure a watertight seal.

Shower Spectacle

Now, here comes the fun part. I’d always dreamt of an arched entry to the shower, and that’s precisely what we set out to create. Armed with 2x4s, plywood, drywall, cement board, and an abundance of determination, I went about crafting this masterpiece. After a hearty round of taping, thin-set, and waterproofing with Red Guard, we were ready for the main event – tiling. But let’s be real; tiling isn’t my jam, so I called in the experts.

A Tile Tale

During the tiling escapades, I had a bit of an “Oops!” moment. A quarter of the shower tiling was done, and I realized it just wasn’t working. Talk about a curveball! Around this time, I jetted off to India for a month and had some time to contemplate the bathroom’s destiny. I returned with a choice – a marble tile from Home Depot that left me beaming.

To add a dash of drama, I introduced a black trim tile for that extra oomph and a marble chair rail for some panache. The floor got the penny tile treatment, with a twist. No checkered shower wall for me; I went rogue with a unique pattern of black, grey, and mustard penny tiles. I’ll spill the beans on that adventure in a separate post. But here’s a hint: choosing the right grout for the right spaces is a crucial step in the process.

Bathroom Walls with a Twist

To crown this renovation masterpiece, I decided to trim out the arch opening with some flex trim molding from Home Depot. For the walls, I chose vinyl beadboard, ensuring it wouldn’t bubble up and ruin my hard work, which can happen with MDF in a bathroom which you should never use in a bathroom.. The transformation was complete with a decorative chair-rail and baseboard.

And let’s talk paint! A rich plum/eggplant shade, matched at Home Depot, breathed life into the space. But here’s a pro tip: a higher sheen, especially in a small, windowless bathroom, can work wonders, creating a more elevated ambiance.

The Perfect Fittings

The real stars of the show, the fixtures, made their debute. Kohler’s creations in polished nickel complemented the marble and the eggplant paint seamlessly. The console sink legs and the 30” sink were the perfect touch.

The faucet, a piece from the Artifact line, left me mesmerized, blending timeless classic design with a modern twist. And that toilet? The best toilet I’ve ever encountered, with edges that mimic the chair-rail in the bathroom.

The shower faucet, plucked from the Purist line, delivered clean, simple lines and a modern vibe. I couldn’t resist and went for both the shower head and handheld shower. Blending elements from both the Artifact and Purist lines brought my vision to life – Modern Traditional at its best.

The Cherry on Top

Adding my personal touch to the space, I crafted a shower curtain using Indian block print fabric and incorporated Indian-inspired art. An old wall sconce got a second life, and a pleated lamp shade, fashioned from fabrics I picked up in India, cast a warm glow.

To put the finishing touches in place, I stumbled upon a beautiful vintage mirror that fit the space perfectly. Brass and porcelain hooks from Home Depot were a brilliant addition, and I swapped out plain switch plates for brass ones.

To say I’m over the moon with how this space turned out would be an understatement.

Total Costs

• Home Depot products: $1,900
• Kohler products (gifted): $6,000
• Labor for laying tiles: $1,500
• Plumbing work and cost: $1,900
• Miscellaneous expenses: $100
• Total cost: $12,000

This guest bathroom remodel was not just a transformation of a space but also a journey of self-discovery. Home Depot and Kohler, you’re the real MVPs, and I’m thrilled with the results!

Amber glass ornaments exude a timeless, vintage charm that’s perfect for elevating your holiday decor. The best part? It’s an easy to make DIY Christmas ornament with a few simple materials and a touch of creativity. In this DIY guide, we’ll show you how to craft your very own amber glass ornaments that will beautifully complement your holiday tree. So, let’s get started!

Click here for a link to the exact materials I used. 

Materials You’ll Need:

1. Clear Christmas ornaments

2. Alcohol ink in the colors Latte, Caramel, and Ginger

3. A blow-dryer

4. Black spray paint

5. Velvet ribbon

Step 1: Prepare Your Materials

Before you begin, make sure you have all your materials ready. Clear Christmas ornaments provide an excellent canvas for this project, allowing the colors to shine through beautifully. You’ll also need alcohol ink in the warm, inviting shades of Latte, Caramel, and Ginger. And, of course, don’t forget your trusty blow-dryer.

Step 2: Creating a Unique Look

1. Start by removing the cap from the Christmas ornament, exposing the opening.

2. With the ornament opened up, carefully pour your chosen alcohol ink colors inside. The combination of Latte, Caramel, and Ginger will create a mesmerizing amber effect.

3. Now, the magic begins! Hold the ornament and gently swirl it to create your unique pattern with the alcohol ink.

If you want a solid amber color without the swirl pattern, you just need to coat the entire ornament with the alcohol ink evenly and then use the blow dryer. 

Step 3: Enhancing Your Creation

To add some distinctive finishing touches:

1. After you’ve achieved the perfect swirling pattern or a solid amber color, it’s time to enhance your ornament’s appearance. Spray paint the cap of the ornament in black for a sophisticated contrast.

2. Once the black paint has dried, reattach the cap to the ornament.

3. Cut a length of velvet ribbon of your choice. Velvet adds a touch of luxury and complements the vintage charm of your ornament.

4. Tie the velvet ribbon in a graceful bow around the top of the ornament. This ribbon not only adds elegance but also makes it easy to hang your creation on the tree.

Step 4: Admire Your Hard Work

After adding the black cap and velvet ribbon, take a step back and admire your creation. These DIY amber glass ornaments will add a touch of sophistication and warmth to your holiday decor. At night, they will cast a warm and inviting glow throughout your home.

In just a few easy steps, you’ve transformed plain clear ornaments into captivating amber gla

ss masterpieces. With the warm, inviting colors, unique patterns, and added embellishments, your handmade ornaments will be a highlight of your holiday decorations. Happy crafting!

Hi! So I’m finally here with all the dets, I just couldn’t wait to spill the beans on my kitchen renovation reveal. Trust me, it’s like a culinary paradise you’d find in a magazine, and I’m here to share the hilarious journey with you.

This is one of my biggest projects, and I have to admit, I was nervous. My kitchen was like a time capsule from 2008, and those outdated cabinets were in such bad shape that they looked like they’d seen a century’s worth of wear and tear. Plus, they were all different shades of white, as if they had attended a “Shades of White” party and forgot to coordinate.

But hey, I was determined to turn my kitchen into a space with aesthetics and functionality for my young family. I had grand plans. Picture this: That awkward corner pantry demoed and transformed into a pantry that’s not only functional but also lots of storage, Cabinets with endless shelving space, appliance garages flanking the range, making my countertop look uncluttered. It’s like a cool parking spot for my kitchen appliances, and a cool Fire Clay Sink.

Oh, And the fridge? it’s gone incognito! My fridge is now “panel ready,” which means it’s doing a disappearing act, blending seamlessly into the cabinets.

But wait, there’s more! I decided the coffee nook had to go so I could slide the refrigerator to the right, and That unnecessary opening that connects the kitchen to the dining area Will soon be the future butler’s pantry. I was on a mission to maximize every square inch of space.

And just like that (in Carrie Bradshaw’s voice!) , My kitchen transformation was going to be everything I needed as a Mom, and everything my family needed to handle our everyday lives!

The Pantry Remaster

Our new pantry measures 30×70 inches, with a door opening that’s a generous 38 inches wide. Towering above, the door stands at an impressive 90 inches in height, making for a grand entrance. How could I, go without adding my signiture Indian block print skirt, giving it a touch of personality , while also being functional (hiding any mess).

Now,the heart of our pantry masterpiece was the shelving. Under the skirt, you’ll find a handy shelf, perfect for quick-grab items. But that’s not where the story ends. Above the skirt, we’ve created a shelving system with a total of 6 shelves. Each shelf has a generous 1-foot gap, ensuring ample space for all our pantry essentials. And between these shelves, there’s approximately one foot to 15 inches of space, making organization a breeze.

But that’s not all! In the old pantry, things were a bit awkwardly cornered at an angle, limiting storage space. So, we decided on taking that ceiling off. Now, our pantry reaches for the skies, offering more room up top to store those items not needed for everyday use.

In a nutshell, the Pantry Remaster is a testament to how a dash of creativity and a lot of hard work can turn even the most challenging space into a functional and stylish pantry.

Cabinets

Choosing the right cabinets for my kitchen was a journey in optimizing both functionality and aesthetics. I made a deliberate decision to go with drawers for all the lower cabinets, a choice that has proven its worth in accessibility and organization. The ease of reaching in and finding what I need has made me a firm believer that drawers are the way to go for lower cabinets. But my cabinet selection wasn’t just about practicality; I wanted my kitchen to be a statement piece. To achieve this, I incorporated a Toe kick like detail that transformed the space into more than just a kitchen—it became a piece of fine furniture.

One of the key elements that contributed to both functionality and aesthetics in my kitchen was the countertop appliance garage. By extending it on both sides of the range, from countertop to ceiling, I not only concealed my appliances but also created a visually distinct boundary that made the kitchen appear cozier and more intimate. Customization played a pivotal role in my cabinet design, with angled cabinets adding an elegant height and unique moldings, such as base cap molding, 1×3 round molding, and 1/4 round molding, taking the place of traditional crown molding for a clean and modern look. My choice of a panel-ready fridge was another space-saving move that made the kitchen feel more spacious without sacrificing storage. Its narrower, taller profile was a perfect fit, offering more room between shelves, and it even accommodates tall items with ease. In the end, my cabinet choices, along with a well-thought-out pantry and microwave cabinet, allowed me to maximize storage and elevate the overall design of my kitchen.

Countertops

Selecting the right countertops was a pivotal decision in bringing my kitchen vision to life. For the perimeter cabinets and backsplash, I opted for the timeless look of soapstone countertops. The soapstone is not only beautiful but also practical, especially for someone like me who uses a lot of Turmeric in cooking. Its honed finish has proven to be durable, resisting etching and staining, even from Turmeric.

But it’s the island countertop that truly steals the show. Crafted from marble with an OG edge, it adds a touch of luxury to the kitchen. What makes it even more special is the thoughtful design choice of having one side squared and the other rounded, creating a soft, child-friendly edge and an eye-catching contrast between the white and black. To further emphasize this contrast, the perimeter cabinets have a lovely putty or mushroom color, allowing the island to stand out as the dark walnut-stained maple wood masterpiece it is. These four distinct colors, putty, black soapstone, white marble, and dark stained island, have seamlessly blended together to create a kitchen that’s not just functional but also a work of art in its own right.

The Island

The transformation of my kitchen island has been nothing short of remarkable. From the outset, I adored its size and footprint, but it was plagued with issues that demanded a complete overhaul. Electrical woes, water leaks, and a persistent odor made it clear that the island had to go. This decision marked the turning point of my kitchen renovation journey.

The island’s rebirth involved more than just cosmetic changes. We replaced the entire island, adding new OSB Sub-flooring and addressing the electrical problems once and for all. Strategic placement of electrical outlets became a priority, with one discreetly camouflaged in the front for guests to charge their devices while sitting at the stools, and another on the sink side for convenient appliance use. A small cabinet now houses cutting boards, while a built-in trashcan within the island keeps everything picture perfect, but we didn’t stop there we added and Air Switch garbage disposal: they’re like your kitchen’s secret superhero. Picture a fancy button by your sink – press it, and boom, your food scraps disappear like magic. It’s the superhero costume your kitchen never knew it needed. Capes are out, air switches are in!”

Under the sink, another cabinet keeps dishwasher pods and essentials neatly organized. On the opposite side, where the countertop stools are, three small cabinets offer additional storage, a welcome departure from the previous open and chaotic arrangement. The island, finished in Varathane Dark Walnut with a matte finish, stands as a striking contrast to the Sherwin-Williams Sandbar Satin-finished kitchen cabinets. The island has not only regained its functionality but has become the heart of my kitchen, a testament to the transformative power of a well-planned renovation.

Creating a Seamless Kitchen Hood: A Design Choice Explained

In my quest to design the perfect kitchen, one element that demanded careful consideration was the hood. Many design choices were at my disposal, but I ultimately chose a unique approach for a seamless and sophisticated look.

Opting for a standalone hood would have introduced complexities and angles that clashed with my vision of clean, uninterrupted lines. Moreover, our kitchen’s sloped ceiling at the back would have clashed with a statement hood, making it appear out of place.

To achieve the finished look I sought, I integrated the hood seamlessly into the top cabinets. This clever choice created a straight, uninterrupted visual flow, effectively mimicking the presence of a hood without the need for an extra structure. To enhance this illusion further, I forwent traditional cabinet knobs, instead opting for press-and-open magnetic closures, ensuring a sleek and unbroken surface that gracefully imitated the form of a hood.

To infuse a touch of character into the range area, I strategically placed two decorative corbels on either side. This subtle addition not only served as a focal point but also transformed the range into a stunning centerpiece within our kitchen, seamlessly merging form and function in our remodel.

Appliances And Other Pretty Things

In the heart of my kitchen remodel, the choice of appliances played a pivotal role in shaping the functionality and aesthetics of the space. Generously gifted by Smegg USA, an Italian brand renowned for its exquisite and efficient appliances, these additions truly elevated my kitchen’s appeal. Among the standout pieces, my earlier 13-inch range made way for a stunning 36-inch range, boasting a ton of functions that enhance my cooking experience. This five-burner gas range offers unparalleled efficiency, allowing me to prepare meals with precision and style. The panel-ready fridge, another marvel from Smegg USA, seamlessly integrates into the kitchen, offering both efficiency and elegance. The details on this fridge, as we discussed earlier, are simply remarkable. The microwave, doubling as a speed oven, adds versatility to my kitchen routine. Compact at 24 inches, it fits snugly into its designated cabinet space, replacing a bulkier predecessor while delivering top-notch performance.

While some elements remained unchanged, like the dishwasher, I aspire to upgrade it to a panel-ready model in the future, aligning it with the rest of the kitchen’s sleek aesthetics. Transitioning from appliances to aesthetics, the lighting choices in my kitchen were a source of delight. Although I coveted a vintage brass light from a prestigious French brand, budget constraints led me to discover the Ormond pendants from rejuvenation. These handblown glass fixtures with unlacquered brass accents added a touch of elegance to my space, showcasing a harmonious blend of vintage and modern. In my quest to mix metals and create a balanced contrast, the polished nickel kitchen faucet emerged as a standout feature. Its warm tone beautifully complements the brass accents and marble countertops, and its vintage-inspired design adds a timeless charm to the space. The hardware, all from rejuvenation, was thoughtfully selected, combining various styles like cupboard latches, oval knobs, Macy pulls, and bin pulls. These choices not only reflect my love for unique finishes, but they also prove that hardware is a key element that can elevate any kitchen’s overall appearance. Mixing metals, like the unlacquered brass, brings character and intrigue, and I cherish the patina that has developed on my fridge handle, a testament to the lived-in warmth of my renovated kitchen.

In the end, the appliances and design elements I chose have transformed my kitchen into a space that not only functions flawlessly but also radiates a unique and personal aesthetic that I am proud to call my own.

The Budget Breakdown + Links

Step 1: Taking off the anchors from the drywall

Tips to cause limited damage to the drywall:

– first, take a bigger size screw

– drive it in a little

– wiggle out the anchor

Step 2: Fitting back the floating shelf brackets

Drill the wall with a half inch bit and put the toggle anchor in and break off the extra bit. The toggle that worked best for me is the one I got from Home Depot (Linked here). When you have a good anchor for your screw, put the brackets in and then repeat the steps for the rest. Link to my floating shelf brackets here.

Step 3: Getting the board ready for the shelf

After cutting the 2X8 inch board, I recommend using a drill guide otherwise the hole will be sloped. Always put a tape on the drill to know when to stop drilling. Now, before you buy a drill guide, make sure the drill bit fits the slot. It was frustrating for me in the beginning as the half-inch drill that I bought didn’t fit in the half-inch slot. I ended up drilling with the small drill bit, taking the drill guide off, and then used the half-inch drill bit.

I used 220-grit sandpaper to sand off the board followed by a wood conditioner. A 220 – 320 grit sandpaper is recommended to get a smooth and even finish. The stain that I went with is Minmax Polyshade in American Chestnut. You can go for an extra coat to have a darker shade as I did.

My DIY floating shelves were finally done and this time, it looked perfect!

I Just got back from India and have been busy unpacking, cleaning and organizing my home.

Speaking of cleaning, I’ve been using Grove Collaborative products for a while now. I bought it for the first time 3 years back when a friend recommended it and have never looked back.  I love that they do the homework for me and have curated a great collection of non-toxic household products – I don’t have to think twice before ordering any of their products.

Mrs. Meyer’s products have been a long time favorite, and I love the fragrance in all their products especially the Grove Co. bubble up dish soap, it saves my dish soap and looks so good.

I have really enjoyed the subscription delivery during this time since it arrives at my door and I don’t have to think about my cleaning supplies or other household products running out. I can choose when the order arrives too, so I’m not getting products I don’t need!

True story – When my mom was visiting back in 2019, she loved the smell of my cleaning supplies from Grove Collaboration so much that I ordered some for her to take home. This time when I went to India those were the only non – negotiable things she wanted me to bring

It’s totally worth it to use Grove. As a bonus (although I don’t know if you need one!), new customers will receive a free Mrs. Meyer’s set with your first purchase. Click here to get yours now!

Spring – My favorite time of the year! There is something in the air that inspires me to look at every space in our home and want to breathe new life into it, even if it’s a small thoughtful change. Our breakfast nook is a space in our home where we hang out the most and I wanted to add a little something to make it feel extra special!

When I got the opportunity to partner with Joss and Main and explore their curated collection of in-trend spring pieces, I knew this was the perfect mix to add to my home. You can check out the full spring collection here!

I was lugging these pieces from room to room as they fit seamlessly in so many spaces around our home – that’s a bonus! Every piece is designed to mix & match effortlessly. Ten pieces can create hundreds of looks!

So here is my little breakfast nook refresh.

That’s a stunning floor lamp – the design is so timeless and modern at the same time – it instantly adds a wow factor!

The white ceramic vase is the perfect size for fresh flowers or even long stems. I love the droopy look here.

My absolute favorite find is this gorgeous stool that can be styled in so many ways – as a plant stand, or a nice side table in your patio or even a little stand next to your tub in the bathroom like this.

Hope you liked this breakfast nook refresh. This space feels new again and we love it even more!

I found many pretty accessories in this Winter edits. Few of my favs are listed below.

This is week 1 of the one room challenge! After watching from the sidelines for a while I’m excited to finally join in as a guest participant for the first time this fall. If you aren’t familiar with One Room Challenge you can read all about it and follow along with other participants here. In short, a lot of bloggers/Instagrammers are challenged to makeover one room in their home within 6 weeks.

We recently bought our home and I’ve been slowing adding some personality and character to our otherwise boring builder grade home. For this ORC I’m tackling our home office. Are you ready to see the before and the plans.

The Plan

What you can definitely expect is for this room to be – one part traditional, one part modern and one part vintage!

The main difference in this room is going to be the transformation with paint. I plan to paint every wall and storage (IKEA hack) a moody green, yes even the ceiling!

Here is my plan for this space. This is my first time attempting a mood board so please be kind what do you think?

Our Home office is right off our entry. The focal wall will have Moulding detail. This is inspired by Ginny Macdonald x Lulu & Georgia . I also plan to add a lot of storage with the IKEA cabinets.

The wall on the right will be a bold floor to ceiling gallery wall.

I’ve been dreaming up this home office for a while. if you’ve been following me on Instagram, you would definitely know how excited I’m to get started with this space!!
