Tile has been delivered! That’s right, color loves = most of my supplies for the SPRING 2021 JEFFREY COURT RENOVATION CHALLENGE are officially here!!

[please click here if you missed last week’s special announcement]

Which means that your color-loving queen is ready to share my mood board for this half bath I’m renovating into a swanky-yet-whimsical powder room for said challenge.

And by “ready to share,” I basically had to because I don’t have a whole lot else to update you on as of yet . . . other than it’s more than time for me to put on my big girl britches, rip-off that grieving band-aid and get back to renovating this once-on-my-radar bathroom space – starting with replacing its oh-so-beat subfloor . . .

 

Because no one knows better than me that a room isn’t going to renovate itself – DO THAT DANG WORK, y’all! 😉 And please don’t forget that voting starts today!! 🙏🏻
