When we bought our lake house three years ago, the master bathroom was definitely a room that I was anxious to make some changes to. What initially seemed like a sophisticated master bath soon felt like walking into a dark heavy space with the dark wood shades, brown curtain panels, brown tiled shower, dark wood… Continue reading Into the light…a master bath makeover
I can definitely tell it's January. Once everything is neatly put away for the next ten to eleven months for Christmas, things are looking a little stark.
