SPRUCE BATH

Your bathroom currently looks like a 1980s time capsule, and every time you flush that ancient toilet, you can practically hear your money screaming as it disappears down the drain. I get it. I’ve spent more time under leaky sinks than I care to admit, including that one “minor” pipe fix that ended up flooding … Read more

We’ve all been there. You wake up, feel decent, and then walk into the bathroom only to be greeted by a reflection that looks ten years older and significantly more exhausted. No, you didn’t age overnight; you just have terrible bathroom vanity lighting. Most builders slap a single, flickering fluorescent bar over the mirror and … Read more

Your bathroom should be a sanctuary, but right now, it feels more like a time capsule—and not the cool kind. You’re staring at that water-stained, “faux-oak” particle board beast and wondering if you can replace it without flooding your house or ending up in a viral DIY-fail compilation. I’ve been there. In fact, I once … Read more

Your bathroom floor is currently screaming 1982, isn’t it? Or maybe you’re staring at a cracked tile that’s been mocking you every time you brush your teeth. I get it.

Your bathroom probably looks like a time capsule from a decade you’d rather forget, doesn’t it? I’ve been there. Specifically, I was there three years ago when I tried to “refresh” my guest bath with peel-and-stick tiles that ended up migrating toward the hallway like a slow-moving glacier. If you’re tired of looking at that … Read more

Your tiny bathroom probably feels like a fiberglass coffin with a plastic curtain, doesn’t it? You’re tired of stubbing your toe on that 4-inch acrylic threshold every morning, and you’re wondering if ripping the whole thing out for a sleek, walk-in look is a genius move or a financial suicide mission. I’ve been swinging hammers … Read more

Trying to squeeze a functional, stylish bathroom into a space the size of a postage stamp is the ultimate home renovation puzzle. I’ve been there—trust me. I once spent three days trying to fit a “luxury” vanity into an ensuite so small I had to sit on the toilet just to brush my teeth. It … Read more

Let’s be honest—renters don’t usually get to change the bathroom tiles. When I was stuck with boring builder-grade tiles, I desperately wanted something fresh… but I didn’t want to lose my security deposit. That’s where peel-and-stick bathroom tile stickers come in. These little lifesavers give you the look of a remodel without cutting, grout, or … Read more

If your bathroom feels a little too cold, too white, or too “hotel sterile,” you’re not alone. I used to think bathrooms had to be all tile, chrome, and glass. Then I added one terracotta soap dispenser… and suddenly the whole room felt warmer and more inviting. Terracotta is one of those materials that instantly … Read more
