Big Girl Room Refresh
The transition from a tiny toddler room to a big girl space has been both so sweet and a little bittersweet. The biggest change? Her full-size bed, which I found on Facebook Marketplace. The seller, an older gentleman, told me it was his childhood bed and later used by his own kids—how special is that?
And if you’re wondering, “Wait, where’s all the kid stuff?”—don’t worry! She has an entire playroom filled with every toy she could possibly want. Her bedroom is all about sleep, stuffed animals, and her ever-growing collection of books.
One of the best additions has been the two nightstands. They give her plenty of space for her Tonie box (her absolute favorite), her must-have flashlight, whatever books she’s into that night, and extra storage she can grow into. It’s been such a fun little refresh!
Believe it or not, the bedding is a Sam’s Club find! I love that it’s a soft pinky-purple with flowers—cute but still muted and calming, just like the rest of the room. We rotate between two sets of sheets, one solid pink and one floral, which keeps things feeling fresh. And I have to shout out this mattress cover—it’s a little pricey, but absolutely nothing has leaked through. Now I feel like I need one for every bed in the house!
This room will always be evolving, just like she is, but I love how it’s coming together. It feels cozy, calm, and perfectly suited to this new stage of life. From the special vintage bed to the little details that make it functional and fun, it’s been such a sweet transition. I can’t wait to see how it continues to grow with her!

En Suite Guest Bathroom Reveal
After years of keeping our guest en suite bathroom all white, I finally took the leap and gave it a moody makeover—and I couldn’t be happier with the transformation. I drenched the walls in Salute by Sherwin-Williams, creating a bold and dramatic backdrop. Instead of a traditional shower curtain, I opted for a tall window curtain paired with a washable liner, adding a unique touch and going extra tall to emphasize the height of the ceiling. Gold accents throughout the space elevate the design, and I created a balance of new and old by combining easy-to-find pieces from Amazon, Wayfair, and Target with some of my favorite estate sale and thrifted treasures. Even the smallest details, like swapping out the toilet lever and toilet paper holder, were carefully considered. Every change made such a big impact in this small space.
