A small DIY project to update our 20-year-old half bath to something more modern and personality-filled. This was our first foray into a full DIY project, keeping the budget around $1,500 for materials and installation. We took inspiration from the Ryan Hoyt Designs Darcy Project on Houzz ( https://www.houzz.com/photos/darcy-beach-style-powder-room-phvw-vp~102221003) and modified as needed based on the materials we could find. Arauco primed shiplap was installed throughout, painted in Sherwin Williams Shoji White to complement the new off-white quartz countertop. We kept the old vanity base, sanding and painting in Sherwin Williams Naval. We had to search high and low for a pre-fab piece of white quartz. We found this one at a granite depot, pre-drilled with a single-hole faucet. Though not the wide-spread look we liked in the Darcy project, it was the next best option. The hardware is from the Moen Align collection in brushed gold. It perfectly plays up the farmhouse meets beach style. All of this was finished off by an 18" round "bronze" mirror from Target (!). Overall we love the finished bathroom and can't believe the transformation. From the drap formica countertop with pink tiled floor to this tiny beautiful bathroom oasis.

Our mission was to create an ocean and California lifestyle-inspired space that would invite consistent clicks, bookings and five-star reviews. To make the most of the great location, we designed Project 11 for travelling singles and couples searching for a cozy and welcoming condo within walking distance to downtown San Diego. Project 11 would also be used by our clients when it was unoccupied, so it had to be practical, functional and beautiful, too. Our clients had a limited budget, so we got thrifty and sourced furnishings from Target, Ikea, Amazon and Etsy. The oversized art prints – which set the tone for our relaxing and soothing beachy theme – were hunted down and found at Etsy of California Lifestyle. We made the most of layers, colors and texture to create spaces that conjured calming ocean vibes and felt wholeheartedly welcoming. We couldn’t repaint the walls, but they gave us a neutral color palette to work with. We built on it by adding in pops of color while maintaining a minimalist approach to understated style. Then we had some fun and added in cute touches like Cali and San Diego inspired mugs, an adorable Kerig to tie in the colors of the ocean again, a swivel chair to view the sunrise and sunset and a totally pimped-out kitchen with all the cooking accessories a guest would need to feel at home in Project 11. By the time we were done, we were tempted to scoop up the first available booking for ourselves! Finally, we invested our energy in designing for effortless functionality so our client’s guests had everything they needed during their stay. Photography: Meg Marie
