I was excited to move in with Alex but also a bit nervous - I like my own space and enjoyed living alone. Maybe it's because I grew up with so many siblings. Luckily, Sheridan has plenty of space and I was able to claim a bathroom as "mine" and repurpose one of the bedrooms into my closet. This left Alex the master bathroom and closet.
My bathroom started out looking pretty out-dated. We spent a weekend removing wallpaper and lots of chrome accents. The result is a much more pleasant and spa-like bathroom.
Other updates included:
- removing the blinds and frosting the bottom window using this technique
- re-caulking the seams between the tiles and walls
- painting!
- replacing the mirrored doors with a double shower curtain
- creating custom canvas art using a photo I took
My mornings are usually pretty rushed so I really appreciate any calm moment I can get. Alex often surprises me with a latte to help coax me out of bed (he's amazing, right?). I like to sip it in the shower - but you'll notice I had to add a clock so I don't linger too long in the warm water.
There are a still a few things left on the list to do before the room is officially complete:
- wall repairs (if you look closely at the photos above you'll see what I'm referring to)
- complete caulking
- update light fixture
- do something with the mirror (frame it or replace it?)
