Our Budget Bathroom Reno!

March 21, 2019 By Stephanie Hope No Comments

If you follow me on Instagram you’ll have already seen some before and afters of the bathroom renovation, but I still really wanted to do a blog post about it! This was the first project I have taken over by myself (with very minimal help from James to put up the shelves) and I’m so proud of my work. This was a super budget reno, and there’s still so much more we could do to the space, but I really love the way it came out!

Budget: $200.00ish

Things I bought:

  •  Floating Shelves from Home Depot
  •  Shelf Decor from Home Goods
  •  Bath mat from Home Goods
  •  Artwork from Home Goods

Things I did:

  • Ripped off the wallpaper and sanded the walls
  • One coat of primer
  • 2 coats of white paint
  • Installed floating shelves
  • Hung up artwork
  • Decorated shelves


That’s it! It was a super simple project that cost me around $200 for all the materials. We already had the paint so I didn’t have to purchase that. The highest ticket purchase was the shelves, around $25 each for the large ones. The smaller ones came in a pack for about $12. I did need James’ help putting up the shelves because otherwise they would have been totally crooked. I took some decor from different rooms of the house and also added it in there so I didn’t have to put such a dent on the budget.

i still can’t believe there’s a wee baby insid i still can’t believe there’s a wee baby inside my body right now ready to come out soon. just squirming around, hiccuping. it’s so unreal. the fact that my body just knows what to do despite spending my entire adult life convinced i 1. didn’t want a child and 2. wasn’t capable of being a (good) mother. 

if i’m being honest, my fears came from my poor relationship with my own mother. i was raised to be afraid, to never feel like i would be good enough (spoiler alert: never was to her!) but to constantly try, and to feel like i had to buy love from people around me. now i know better. i know that i can just love my daughter unconditionally, help her see that i will ALWAYS be her safe space and never the thing to be afraid of, and that she never has to buy my love.

being a mom is something i never thought i would do, but i am ready to dive in and be the mother i always wanted growing up but never had. 💕 Photos are all from @jaceyanastasio ! #motherhood #pregnancyjourney #maternityshoot
I don’t see my stretch marks as battle scars, ti I don’t see my stretch marks as battle scars, tiger stripes, or a badge of honor. To me, they’re just skin stretching—because that’s what skin does. It doesn’t have to carry a deeper meaning or be a symbol of anything. It doesn’t have to be proof that I’m a mom to make me feel like a mom. My motherhood isn’t defined by the marks on my body; it’s in the love I give, the patience I practice, and the moments that shape this journey.

I don’t need to call my stretch marks anything to accept them, and for me, that’s freeing. They’re not good or bad, beautiful or ugly—they just are. A natural part of being human, of growing, of changing.

That being said, if giving them a name or a purpose helps you embrace them, that’s amazing! Every mom’s journey is different, and so is the way we process the changes that come with it. This is simply what works for me—letting my body be, without pressure to find meaning in every mark. No labels needed, no justification required. Just me, existing as I am. #pregnancyjourney #stretchmarks #pregnancyphotoshoot #maternityshoot
reminder that everyone’s experience is different reminder that everyone’s experience is different and valid 💕 you never know what someone is going through or what they went through, so it’s best to just congratulate them and move on 💕what’s the worst “just wait” you’ve heard so far? #pregnancyjourney #pregnancyproblems
