BATHROOM REMODEL // lime wash
When we renovated the house in 2020, we updated the master bath but kept it simple, very very simple. We chose a very neutral palette; white marble for the shower and a wood floating vanity. I always knew I wanted to make this bathroom more special, most of all because it’s the bathroom we use…

This year’s obsession // NUTCRACKERS

Decorating my Tree
This year’s theme stayed pretty true to the Sip Studio look, very neutral with a sprinkle of sparkly wild animals of course. I started with adding 3″ black velvet ribbon to my tree. This really helps fill in the tree and is a nice base for the rest of the ornaments and decor. I then…
