Master Bathroom Renovation (Cost + Sources)

April 6, 2020

A month ago we bought all of the supplies for our last few renovation projects for this house to get it ready to sell. We didn’t know the pandemic was around the corner. Since we had all the supplies already on hand we decided we might as well start our master bathroom renovation since we are hoping to still list our home by this summer.

It is so odd to be going through this reality, and yet I feel like the collective grief we are all experiencing around the word is unifying. There is so much hardship, and yet people continue to fight to rise above it. An incredible reminder that when in crisis, humanity CAN come together for a greater good.
