    Master bathroom reveal

    . Thank you Vintage tub and bath for sponsoring this post.  The opinions are my own. Our master bathroom is our last room in our home to completely update.  We waited for about 3 years before we renovated our home.  It is a good idea to live in your space for awhile and really think about how you want each space to function as well as budget wise.  Our bathroom doesn’t have a shower, only a large garden tub.  Pretty dreamy if you ask me but my husband needs a shower in our bathroom to make it functional for him.  We chose the same style shower system we installed upstairs…

    Paint colors throughout our home

    . Our main color is the bright white.  You can use any brand of bright grab and go white just make sure it has primer in it.  Also make sure you get the correct finish for your trim and walls.  The higher the sheen the more durable the paint.  Semi-gloss is what we typically use for trim.  Satin for our walls.  Satin is middle of the road.  If you are using the same white for walls, ceilings, and trim pick a different finish for each and it doesn’t look like the same color.  As for ceilings or low traffic areas, a flat paint works well.   If you are interested in seeing…
