Kids’ & Guest Bathroom

Kids’ & Guest Bathroom

This classic small bathroom makeover combined design and function to serve a dual-purpose as a kids’ & guest bathroom.


While this project may have been fairly small, it stands out in my memory as a major turning point in our nine-year renovation.

The tile in this bathroom almost broke us. Even though by this point we were definitely experienced DIYers, the handmade Spanish subway tile didn’t have a straight edge to be found. It took us several days to complete, and literal blood, sweat, and tears.

The herringbone floor tile provided yet another challenge. Although it all paid off in the end, we were really happy with how great the space looked!

Still, this was our final tile project… possibly ever.

In the end, this small bathroom served an important function as a shared bathroom between our three kids and any guests who happened to visit.

The modern choices hinted at masculinity so that our two boys would be happy, but it also had a spa-like feeling with the soaking tub and was neutral enough that our daughter liked the space as well.

🍁 As the morning sun casts a golden hue over my 🍁 As the morning sun casts a golden hue over my desk, I’m enveloped in the quiet comfort of my favorite room. As I sit here, journal in front of me, I’m struck by the reminder that every corner of our homes has a story to tell. 📔✨

While my heart belongs to creating cozy spaces that speak of warmth and welcome, I’m also beginning to rediscover the joy of filling pages with more than just to-do lists. Maybe it’s the magic of fall, or perhaps it’s the quiet promise of new beginnings ahead, but there’s something brewing here beyond the decor. 🌟🏡

As we journey through this season of transformation, I invite you to join me in this new journey that’s both familiar and fresh. Because isn’t life about exploring new chapters while cherishing the ones we’ve already written? #autumnvibes #writingjourney
