If you’ve followed any of my previous posts,

you may have seen where I did a mini makeover on our bathroom a few months ago. It, to me, was a pretty big change cosmetically but there was just one element of the makeover that didn’t sit well with me so I finally changed it up and I’m so happy with the result! It’s amazing what some shower curtains and Stitch Witchery will do to a small bathroom!

I found These on Amazon (aff Link) Wooden Planter Boxes WAY to expensive for my little budget. So I convinced the beard to build some for me, and they cost a fraction of the price!

Aren’t these Hostas Gorgeous??

Even though I don’t always recommend making a featured island, (I’ll tell you some reasons for that too), in this case creating a custom kitchen island feature was the perfect solution to this kitchen design.

This was what the kitchen in their condo looked like before they started renovating it:
