Product Spotlight
These last few months have been quite an adventure with the building of our family getaway for the Marc and Mandy Show . Each day is filled with a million little decisions needing to be made in a split second . No one could have ever prepared us for this project ! It has tested our sanity , time constraints and most importantly - budget . Much like when your first child is born , you learn to go with the flow and not sweat the small stuff .
As we approach the finishing stages of the build , I ’ m excited to see it all come together . I have to say , my favorite space to design was the primary bedroom ’ s bathroom . We were tight on space with it only being 8 ft x 6 ft and I had the challenge of creating a spalike bathroom on that small of a footprint . As they say , quality trumps quantity in luxury finishes , therefore I carefully chose statement pieces to create a relaxing yet trendy look . Everything from a walk-in rain shower to the painted cabinet vanity with matte black finishes and the serene nature-inspired color scheme helped bring this look to life .
If you are embarking on your bathroom design journey , whether it be a new build or reno , remember to enjoy the ride ! The design and build process is always shorter than the years that you ’ ll be enjoying the space .
I will forever love a beautiful pair of shoes .
These comfy casual slip-ons are so fun and colorful ! They remind me of growing up on the coast , walking the boardwalks and sand dunes . I can almost smell the salt air ! Pair these up with some comfy leggings or jeans for a trendy and unique look .
Tie dye is my absolute favorite trend right now ! I love it all , from bright colors to pastels ! Adding this trend to a cozy hoodie just seals the deal . I spend every chance I get in leggings and hoodies . This hoodie is perfect for fun summer evenings and fall days .
