Staring at a bathroom that feels like a cold, sterile hospital wing—or worse, a cluttered junk drawer with a toilet—is enough to ruin anyone’s morning. You want that “spa-like retreat” you saw on Instagram, but every time you try to declutter, you end up with a room that feels empty and depressing. I’ve been there. … Read more
If there’s one thing I’ve learned after styling and re-styling bathrooms more times than I can count, it’s this: lighting can make or break your space.

I remember back in ‘14 when I tried to “embrace the rustic look” of my stained bathroom floor, only to realize my mother-in-law was actually just judging my hygiene. I eventually … Read more
I once spent three hours trying to convince my wife that the low-frequency thrumming coming from our basement was actually a secret government experiment and not, in fact, our water heater preparing for takeoff.
