I'm really really proud of how far this bathroom pushed me out of my comfort zone. I was just going to give it a very basic update: paint the vanity and the walls. But that felt like I was settling. I don't know how to explain how empowering it is to manifest something you've dreamed up in your head. I also learned how to patch drywall, hang a light fixture and hang peel & stick wallpaper. I didn't compromise and I went for the bold choices I was craving. Now this bathroom is the colorful, fun room of my dreams.
