you too can diy

So af­ter three months of ex­haus­tive work and a dai­ly les­son in Murphy’s Law, I am fi­nal­ly done with my bath­room ren­o­va­tion.

I’ve made some eco-friend­ly up­grades that are also su­per lux like ra­di­ant heat­ed floor­ing, two-but­ton low flow toi­let with grey wa­ter, en­er­gy star whirlpool tub run part­ly off an ex­ter­nal so­lar pan­el, no-VOC paint, and some up­cy­cled vin­tage fix­tures, hard­ware, and mold­ing.

I’ve learned a lot from do­ing this project like OCD + black grout = the stuff of night­mares, noth­ing is lev­el – NOTH­ING IS LEV­EL, but most­ly, I learned I nev­er want to ren­o­vate a fuck­ing bath­room again be­cause even though on so­cial me­dia I’m sup­posed to pre­tend that this shit is easy and fun and “you too can DIY,” this project sucked so very, very, very much and I am fuck­ing. over. it.

… BUT I’m pret­ty hap­py with the re­sults 🙂

Tho, my bath­room is now so nice I feel awk­ward us­ing it, like I showed up to a Miche­lin-rat­ed restau­rant in sweats.

(And not luxe ath­leisurewear sweats, like piz­za stain first day of your pe­ri­od sweats)
