Home Refresh :: Bathroom Update

Home Refresh :: Bathroom Update

Back in March, right before official quarantine, I panicked and purchased paint to update a few rooms in our house. I definitely fell into the "this is my chance to get all of the home projects done" club during our stay at home order. Anyone else hit up home depot for all the things?

Turns out, the last few months have actually been quite full. The one room I did manage to get painted and re-styled is my bathroom, and I thought it may be fun to share the before and afters of the...
