Across all of my social platforms I celebrate and spread the idea that you can do anything you want right now.
You don’t have to wait for the perfect circumstances, career, weight, or marital status, to do all of the things that you’ve always wanted to!
Whether that’s wearing a two piece at the beach, traveling the world, becoming a plant mom, or knocking down that wall for a DIY project, you can start right now as you are.
I personally had to take my own advice when it came to purchasing my first home. I had always imagined that I would be married before taking that big step. Instead of waiting for something to happen I made a dream of mine a reality on my own.

Last year I closed on my first house and with that comes all the possibilities of creating a safe and beautiful space where I feel I can continue to share my message, inspire others and continue to grow personally.
This year more than ever has taught me that creating spaces in our homes that bring us peace, happiness and joy is so important. We’re spending so much more time in our homes. It should be a place that we want to live in no matter the size.
So I was so excited to team up with The Home Depot to take a space that I spend a lot of time in and elevate in a way that will spark joy and happiness; my master bath. It’s my first DIY home project. Check out the video transformation on my Instagram.
GAME PLAN
-
Remove Shower Built Ins and replace with subway tile
-
Replace vinyl flooring with Carrara White Hexagon Mosaic Tile
-
Swap out chrome hardware and fixtures with brushed brass
-
Exchange large standard mirror with His and Her Mirrors
-
Add plants
I wanted to remove the standard fiberglass stand in shower built-in and give the overall bathroom a more modern look; this would be easily done with some clean medium sized tile.
Honestly, the wide variety of tile selections at the Home Depot made it so hard to choose but I was able to pick two classic styles that would create a minimal but striking visual impact; a porcelain subway tile and a marble white hexagon mosaic.
The biggest part of this renovation was the flooring. Changing up the flooring makes such an immediate difference when you enter a room and I knew I wanted to select something that would evoke a spa-like feel.
So I wanted the color of the tile to be timeless and work seamlessly with whatever decor I brought into the space.
The varied tones of the marble in the Carrara White Marble Mosaic Tile was the perfect variation of grey and white and will pop with the right color grout.
I chose Doleran Grey grout, which was a nice dark contrast to the brighter tile. It looks so great together and so happy of how it turned out!
I fell in love with how the design and color of the Carrara White Marble looked placed out on the floor and gave the bathroom a bigger more elevated luxe feel from the drab brown vinyl flooring that was once there.
I underestimated the impact that hardware can have in your living space. Changing out the matte chrome pulls and fixtures for a brushed brassed was major! It completely elevated my vanity. Also swapping out the large standard mirror for two round his and hers mirrors was a beautiful way to create a more boutique hotel style bathroom.
2020 isn’t canceled and there is still a lot of time left in the year to make something happen. Sometimes we just need to hit the refresh button for a little inspiration and motivation.
This bathroom refresh was just what I needed — thanks again to the Home Depot for helping me tackle my first DIY home project without a hitch.
