One Room Challenge Week 4 – Tile is Done!

04/25/19

We’ve made some major progress this past week you guys! I’m feeling really good with where we’re at and can’t wait to get this bathroom done so we have a functional room again. So let’s talk about everything we’ve accomplished so far.

If you’re new here be sure to check out all the previous week updates!

Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3

Last week we had started getting the white tile up and this week we’ve got it all up! It’s not a huge space so I knew it wouldn’t take long, we just had to work around my FIL’s schedule. Luckily he had some time off and was able to get this done for us.

White Vertical Tile in the Bathroom

I absolutely LOVE how this tile looks. It has a subtle wave and shine to it that gives it some movement and the organic edges give it some character. I’m glad I chose this over something completely flat with flat edges.

We also got the shelf in which I’m so happy with! I’ll be doing a more detailed post on how we installed that soon but it’s really so easy!

My biggest hurdle this week was picking a grout color. I shared a lot of this on instagram stories with you guys because I could not make up my mind for the life of me. I didn’t know if I should do the same color for both or two different ones.

A bunch of you sent me this photo from Fireclay tile which pretty much sealed the deal for me to do white against the green.

So this is how it looked with the white on top and nothing on the bottom yet. It kind of looks like the bottom has a grey grout just like this and it got me thinking. I really liked the way that looked.

In the end I decided to do white for everything. I felt that it would make it cleaner and more cohesive and I didn’t want to introduce another color. My FIL is finishing up the bottom grout today so you’ll have to head to instagram to see the behind the scenes!

Our contractor is coming over this weekend to help us get the vanity and sink installed and then we’ll be good shape! Can’t wait to share more with you guys!

    Another win-win for your bathrooms. I loved your large master and this is shaping up to be just as amazing. You have such a great eye for style, yet livable solutions.

    I’m watching from Costa Rica and am “green” with envy. I love your green tile and sticking to one clean color of grout, less is more. Spot on with your ORC!

We spent a few days this past week at the @thedwel We spent a few days this past week at the @thedwellbox in Amish Country and never wanted to leave! More and more lately we’re realizing the importance of family and nurturing those relationships. This was the perfect place to unwind, reconnect and enjoy an adventure together without worrying about capturing it all on our phones. We went for a hike, sat by the fire, ate wayyy too many pastries and cheeses and loved every minute of it. Sharing a video tour in stories today! If you’re in the area - we highly recommend a stay here!

As always, there’s two sizes for you to choose from and a short easy tutorial for you to follow to make the cute little wooden stand too 📅  My little office nook has gone through a lot of phases since we first moved in 4.5 years ago (swipe through to see them all!) and last year I finally upgraded my desk to one I could properly sit at 🤣 I took two Alex drawers from IKEA and added wood trim and caning for an elevated look and topped it off with a faux butcher block counter made from a $30 door slab. 👊🏻 the cherry on top for this space was our new skylight that instantly brightened it up and brings in so much beautiful natural light ☀️ this nook never felt quite right until now and I’m excited to spend more time here this year working on lots of exciting projects!

Oh 2020. While it wasn’t what any of us expected Oh 2020. While it wasn’t what any of us expected I’m focusing on all the good that came out of it. I remember sitting with Dan New Year’s Eve last year and being so hopeful for what our future held and praying it would bring us another baby after we had been trying with no luck. I found out only a couple weeks later I was pregnant and that joy carried us through the year even though it brought fear and worry along with it. Besides welcoming our sweet baby girl into our lives we experienced so many other amazing things. The time we got to spend as a family is something we’ll always cherish. We worked on so many projects together and continued to pour our hearts into making this house a place we can call home. And we built A LOT of arches 🤣 Eloise was on the cover of a magazine, Hawk’s hair grew back in full force, we beat Covid and captain Christmas reminded us what the holiday season is really about.  but most importantly we leaned into god and relied on him more than ever to get us through each day. That’s the relationship I want to continue to work on and I’m grateful that this year nudged me closer to the One who deserves all the glory and continues to be faithful 🙏🏻 happy new year friends 🤍 cheers to 2021 🍾
wishing you all a very merry Christmas!🎄your lo wishing you all a very merry Christmas!🎄your love and support means the absolute world to our little family - thank you for being here with us! 🤍 #averybertolinichristmas

Which view do you prefer? 🤪 we compromise every Which view do you prefer? 🤪 we compromise every year: Dan and his dad get their giant artificial tree with colored blinking lights, handmade ornaments (and this year, tinsel) and I get my real tree with white lights and neutral ornaments. If you’ve been following all the Captain Christmas adventures on my stories you know I let Dan go all out and he hung tinsel garland and colored lights ALL over our house. I decorated a few small areas but I was getting SO unnecessarily stressed thinking about decorating our entire home and creating perfect content for you guys. So I said F it and it felt SO good. And it brought so much joy to him and the kids. And for that, it was worth it 🙌🏻 there’s nothing wrong with a beautifully styled Instagram worthy home but this time of year should be a reminder of the things that truly matter in life - and I don’t want to miss out on them. However you decorate for christmas I hope you can find joy in it 🙌🏻 and maybe let go of those picture perfect expectations a little 😉 captain Christmas stories are saved in a highlight! 🎄#2020 #breinspired #ohchristmastree
