$100 Bathroom Makeover - Going Green!

Lest you think this is about "going green" in the trendy environmental way - no. 

As my husband likes to say: "Why do you paint everything green?" 

And, as Harriet the Spy says: "I can't help it if I know what I like."

So. If you want to watch me literally turn my bathroom green for almost $0? Keep reading. 

If you want tips on going environmentally green? I mean, we still make castile hand soap, we clean chemical-free with e-cloth, and... not showering everyday saves water? There you go. 

On to today's project. Here's the before:

Fabric Gift Wrap (furoshiki)

This year I'm trying out some fabric wrapping "paper" and I'm so excited about it!

Pre-made wrapping fabric (called "furoshiki") on Etsy runs anywhere from $10-20 for a single 20" square piece. Sorry, folks, but that piece of fabric costs more than most of the gifts I'll be wrapping. So I've got a much more budget-friendly option for you today. I'll show you how to make your own for a fraction of the cost!

2025 Goals Worksheet (free printable!)

Happy New Year, friends! I wanted to start off the year with another goal setting printable. Because there's nothing better than getting all your ideas down on paper. And who doesn't have a head full of ideas as we roll into a new year? But before we start making lists, let's talk about this whole goal-setting thing for just a minute. 

Gifts for Boys (A Few of Our Favorite Things)

I'm not putting any fancy gift guides together this year (you can check out my minimalist gift guide for kids and my gift guide archive if you want some more specific ideas from years past), but I did want to put up a quick post with a few of the boys' tried-and-true favorite things. As you may know, we have a house full of boys. And these are the things that are loved and played with day after day. So, if you're shopping for boys, this might be a good place to start.
