Bathroom Renovation | PART 2

STANLEY AND MAUD X KOHLER* PART 2 | The Grand Reveal AD | If you haven't read part 1 I suggest you grab a cuppa and have a read...you NEED to see the 'before' to this project because even though it's mine I can't believe it... I will be forever grateful to Kohler for honestly bringing my dream to life...yes I know I'm dramatic but I am SO in love. Our old, yellow, hideous shiny bathroom is now the luxurious bathroom I had hoped for...I almost don't want to let the children in...apparently it's not the norm to have a 'mummy bathroom'...

STANLEY AND MAUD X KOHLER* PART 1 | The Design & Planning  AD | I am super excited to be working with Kohler on our next home project. If you read my blog post on us relocating (if you missed it you can read here) you'll know our home is a doer upper. B and I are partial to a project and this house is full of them.

Hello Disney...

Oh Bonjour... Firstly I'll address the elephant in the room...this is an overdue post we went in June (2019...cheeky). I have no excuses other than I'm crap. Secondly I'll be clear from the beginning that our break was not a press trip, it was not gifted or discounted it was a family holiday fully paid for by ourselves and I'm blogging some details about it because you guys (my instagram fam) wanted some tips!
