Get The Look: Our Pair Of Bathrooms

This month was supposed to be the kick-off of the One Room Challenge makeover event, but because of the pandemic, things got tentatively pushed back to May. I don’t mind admitting that I was more than a little disappointed by this news because I was excited to have an excuse to get busy with a home project, but the good news is that I’ve got plenty of time on my hands now that I’m sticking close to home. And the even better news is that I already bought all of the supplies I need, so I can get started anytime. I’ll just wait until May to actually do all the revealing!

If you haven’t already guessed given the subject of today’s blog post and that little intro, the room I’ll be focusing on for this year’s ORC event is our bathroom—specifically the downstairs hall bath. Now, you’ve seen me work on this space quite a bit over the years, but I’ve got a few cosmetic changes planned that I think will bring even more cohesion to the room. In the meantime while I work on making those changes behind the scenes, you can keep scrolling for a fully linked list of all the fixtures, finishes, and cool boho accents that I don’t plan on changing throughout the makeover.

I’ve been watching lots of home makeover shows on HGTV during this quarantine, and every nightmarish pre-renovation bathroom I see on TV makes me even more appreciative of the bathrooms we inherited from the builders/owners of our current retro ranch. The previous family made really sound, classic choices when putting these bathrooms into the house, so I’ve only had to make a handful of changes—most of which were just little weekend projects here and there.

The list you see linked above features all of the things we’ve added to our two bathrooms over time to help keep them updated and in tip-top shape for the current modern era. I’m desperate to share the few new things I’ve purchased for our downstairs bath makeover, but that will just have to wait until next month when, hopefully, the One Room Challenge will officially be kicking off. At any rate, I’d love to know: what’s your favorite thing from our list above?

Weekend Inspiration: No.94

Before being home-bound, John and I had a regular routine of going out to dinner roughly once a week. It was our way to have a little break from cooking, and it was actually a great way for the two of us to indulge in our respective favorite flavors. You see, he likes seafood, whereas I don’t. I love cream-based entrees, but John is lactose-intolerant, so we usually don’t cook with cream at home. Going out to eat was our way of being able to enjoy our favorite things without putting the other one out, so to speak.

Now that we’re stuck cooking at home every night (aside for the very occasional to-go meals we’ve ordered from local restaurants here and there), John and I are trying to be more respectful of each other’s tastes. We’ve worked extra hard to find recipes that we can compromise on, and we’ve actually been really lucky. We’ve found lots of great options, so today I wanted to share six of the best make-at-home recipes the two of us have loved throughout our social distancing in the hopes that they might inspire your dinnertime, too!

Weekend Inspiration: No.94

1. We’re kind of a little bit obsessed with everything on the Pinch of Yum website, but this is one of our all-time favorites: Chipotle Turkey Burgers with Nectarine Basil Salsa.

2. This recipe for Dairy-Free Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo allows me to enjoy a creamy pasta dish without the milk that John can’t have—win, win!

3. I’m somehow just now hopping on the Bon Appetit train, but I’m glad I finally discovered it. I watch their test kitchen videos almost everyday, this one for Grilled Chicken Sandwiches being my most recent favorite.

4. This Cashew Chicken recipe is a little bit involved, but has incredible flavor that carries through into leftovers the next day. Save it for the weekend when you have a little more time!

5. I think it’s safe to say that we all know Ina can do no wrong. And that’s especially true with her recipe for Chicken Thighs with Creamy Mustard Sauce. The good news if someone in your family is lactose-intolerant, too, is that you can leave out the creme fraiche and still be left with a decadent dish.

6. Even if you’re down to just your pantry staples, chances are good that you have all you need to throw together a platter of Chicken Breasts with Honey-Balsamic Glaze. We had it with a side of potatoes and fresh green beans. Yum!
