basement bath : install

A very delayed post here, but wanted to share some details on the basement bath we had installed this past fall! When we first moved into our house, we were told the builders had ‘stubbed’ the larger basement closet to be a bathroom, so our plan was to eventually have on installed to up the…

closet makeover : ikea system

Let’s start with the before, shall we? We are lucky enough to have two closets in our bedroom, and the bigger one is mine (duh…), but when built, it was made bare minimum. It had a single wire rack tracking around the room, how thrilling! It worked fine for almost 3 years, since it was…
