Bathroom Remodel Hacks
Is your bathtub an embarrassing part of your home? If so there\’s plenty of things you can do to upgrade it on a budget, and ripping out the tub isn’t one of them. Ripping out the entire tub and starting over means ripping out the flooring that surrounds it, which leads to more money gone. One of the simplest updates is getting a liner for it. Custom tub liners require exact measurements and can be a little more expensive than those liners that are pre-made and typically run less than $200 at Home Depot.
Pro Tip: If you have two bathrooms, give the second a Kohler Luxstone Shower upgrade. I am OBSESSED!Open up space
This super simple hack does not require you to move any walls but will make your bathroom feel larger than it is. Get rid of that shower curtain! Open or closed, the shower curtain adds a divide to a small space. Instead of a shower curtain go for modern glass sliding doors. Not only will it make the bathroom look bigger, but it will add a fresh new look.
Out with the old in with the new
If your bathroom has a vanity, I have a simple and easy hack for you. Most vanities involve a sink, and while you think this is about to get complicated it’s not – also if it’s not something you can do a handyman or plumber could easily help you. Shop around for a new vanity, once you have one disconnect the water supply or have a professional do it. Take out the old vanity and replace it with the new one. Your bathroom just got updated! You can also buy new hardware for the sink to give it an instant upgrade.
Cleanup after the remodel
A clean bathroom has a lot to do with it looking it’s best. Once your bathroom remodels is done, be sure to give the bathroom a good scrubbing. A clean bathroom makes a world of a difference. Also considering a fresh coat of paint to give the bathroom a whole new look. A couple coats of new paint color can transform your bathroom. Adding new rugs, towels and accessories will also change the aesthetic of the room. Reduce clutter, by putting toiletries away instead of leaving them out. Add storage where it is necessary to keep things clutter-free.

Well hello, March! Typically January drags on for what seems like years, and February is doom and gloom.

Restaurant Review: Vinny\’s Brunch
On a blistering cold Saturday, I ventured out to Vinny\’s Brunch and Lunch in Clinton Township, Michigan. We got there around noon, and the place was packed. However, we only waited about 20 minutes to get a table. I love brunch every day of the week, but I especially love it when chilly weather hits. There is just something about enjoying brunch while snow lightly falls outside.
Vinny\’s Brunch and Lunch features a jampacked menu of so many delicious items. From sizzling skillets to ultimate sweets you will find a little bit of everything on the brunch menu. Burgers, salads, sandwiches and more can be found on the lunch menu, each item sounding better than the next – which makes it very difficult to select something.
I was undecided when the waitress returned to our table and made a game-time decision to get the Strawberry Avocado Toast without goat cheese. The presentation on the Strawberry Avocado Toast did not disappoint and neither did the taste. I received a single slice of toast that had been toasted to perfection topped with smashed avocado, strawberry slices, almonds and a drizzle of honey. Hands down the best avocado toast that I have ever had.
If you\’re looking for a new place to brunch or lunch I highly recommend Vinny\’s Brunch and Lunch in Clinton Township, Michigan. They have unique items on the menu such as oreo pancakes as well as traditional items like omelets. Trust me you will not be disappointed with a trip to Vinny\’s Brunch and Lunch!
