This Jack & Jill bathroom moment between Polly and Faye’s rooms has never been shared here on the blog, but it’s one of my favorite spaces. I love how practical and functional it is to have this connecting bathroom for the two youngest, and although we haven’t done anything more than lay down a bathmat and hang a few framed art pieces, it gets a lot of love.

Shop Faye’s Room

After finishing Faye’s room and giving Polly’s room some attention, it made sense to spend a little time setting the girls up for success in their bathroom. Eventually, we would love to paint the walls and cabinetry, upgrade the tile, and give it a proper flip, but sometimes it’s good just to make the most of what you can do NOW.

Shop Polly’s Room

One thing I love about this bathroom is that the countertop height is perfect for little girls. No need to have a step-stool taking up floor space, so we plan to keep the original cabinetry until the girls are much older. We did, however, swap out the knobs for something a little cuter. This is my number one tip for anyone wanting to make an impact on a budget.

As I said, we’re not doing anything major in the girls’ bathroom for a while, but don’t underestimate the difference some fresh towels and new hardware can make. Here’s the direction I would love to take in the girls’ bathroom eventually, and I think it would make for a great weekend project! Do you have a bathroom space in your home that could benefit from a quick refresh?

    So cute! Would you consider using peel-and-stick tiles like you did in their Modern Cottage bathroom again here for the intermediate time?

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
