We are nearing 3 years in our home and it’s been a while since I’ve shared a reveal of another space here! A few days ago I shared the before photos of our half bathroom remodel explaining why it needed to be fully gutted and redone to be more functional and fit the modern aesthetic we prefer.

To recap, the pedestal sink offered no storage underneath or any useful space on top, the toilet was short and round vs a more comfortable elongated style that my husband preferred, the medicine cabinet style mirror wasn’t used, and the flooring was just a bandaid done during the selling process.

While many of you have seen some glimpses of this space and followed along with the remodeling process in my instagram stories, today I’m sharing the full reveal of our half bathroom remodel! Isn’t she pretty?

I was debating between a bold tile floor or bold wallpapered walls and decided to go with the tile! It gives the room come character and the black and white motif plays well with the dark blue paint. We used a charcoal grey grout, which will hopefully look more fresh over the years vs white grout that looks dirty so quickly.

Besides opening walls to move the light over to be centered on the new vanity placement and adding the exhaust fan overhead, no walls or structural changes were made. Before, our bathroom had a strange layout with extra space in all the wrong places. Now it feels like everything is where it was always meant to be and it feels very homey!

The large vanity top has a tile backsplash to top all the splashing directly on the wall and the wide space on top allows for not only for a soap dispenser, but also small decorative items or this cute air freshener I found.

The elongated toilet now allows the kids to comfortable using the facilities on their own, without the need for a gross kid potty seat that we happily chucked!

We added a rustic and industrial style shelf over the toilet to add some decorative appeal. I found this cool old tin Epsom Salt container at the local antiques barn sale one Sunday and I created this sign with paint and heat transfer vinyl to fill this space. See the whole process and grab the SVG cut file if you want to make your own. The little plant is from Target and even fooled my hubby who thought it was real when I first brought it home!

These are all framed in the Classique Noir frames from CustomPictureFrames.com. Use code SPOTOFTEADESIGNS20 to receive 20% off your order on their website.

Jennifer of the Atelier Cartouche etsy shop was so easy to work with as I needed this design custom sized to fit the frames I had. They are digital files that I printed and they still retained the watercolor paper texture in the prints! I love how they look as a gallery!

Curious about the budget on our half bathroom remodel? I’m happy to report that in putting this post together, we estimated that the full remodel only cost us around $2000 in materials and no labor cost since we did it on our own.

Some highlights of what my yard produced this year Some highlights of what my yard produced this year:
🎃 Gourds - currently 42 harvested and drying, but tons more coming!
🌞 Yellow Roses - these 2 plants bloom at least 4 times in spring and summer!
🍅 Tomatoes - tons of Roma and Supersweet 100 breeds used for appetizers, sauces and salads. Happy to grow and to gift these away!
🧄 Garlic - planted last fall and harvested in June. Doing this again this October! Should I also do onions?
💜 Lavender - The bees love them. I missed the window to dry them but putting that on my list to try next year. Would you want a little satchel of lavender?

Our group of 2 adults and 5 kids were hosted by TreeTopQuestPhilly and enjoyed a sunny Saturday exploring obstacles, climbing and ziplining and we'd highly recommend this park! 
.
Here some key details to know before you go:
- The staff is super knowledgable, friendly and patient with climbers of all abilities, but it is self paced where you are in control of your own equipment. 
- You attend an equipment fitting, safety instruction and practice course before you climb 
- Expect to spend the full 2.5 hours of your reservation and you likely won't need sunglasses in this shady spot
- Gloves are an optional purchase, but we didn't get them and no one got any blisters
- There are 4 levels of courses with Level 4 being for those 12+ only. It's HIGH but thrilling to those willing to check it out! 
- Porta potties and lockers are available at the check in area and there are plenty of benches and picnic tables to sit at in the park. Spectators are free to watch from below. 
.
PROMO CODE: Use code SPOTOFTEADESIGNS for 15% off your online ticket order to climb!

You can start this fall with garlic! You start planting them in the fall, and you'll enjoy them by summer.
