October 3, 2012 // 4 Comments One of the benefits of having a husband who owns a remodeling business is that occasionally he comes home with leftover product that we can use in our own home.

It’s difficult to turn down free stuff, but I also want to maintain a home that is reflective of my style and place I love being in. I say all this, because last month Husband came home with a new front door.

In order to give the potential front door a fair chance, I decided that I need to do some research to see what kind of front door I would actually choose on my own.

The bathroom size is quite modest and the basic layout was fine. We decided to leave everything where it was, but update it all! One by one, everything came out and was replaced.

Bath Simple took all the guess work out of how to "make it all happen" and the only thing I had to be an expert in was deciding what I liked.
