FREE simple & serene BATHROOM ARTWORK... that looks great in DOLLAR STORE frames
I recently updated my ensuite bathroom, and I couldn't find any artwork I liked. I was looking for a simple, serene, minimalist look. As always, when I can't find what I'm looking for, I try to DIY something that works. Check out my budget-friendly solutions below... and download my prints for FREE.
I designed three pictures, popped them in frames I purchased at Dollarama, and hung them on the wall. I wanted something that looked good (and balanced) when the door was open AND when the door was closed. Here's what it looks like when the door is open.

First Day of School 2024
This school year, our family is experiencing a lot of firsts and lasts.
- First time not taking a "first day of school" photo of my oldest son. (He's going into his second year of university, so I gave him a pass. It was a good run! lol)
- First day of grade 10 for my youngest son.
- First day of grade 12 for my middle son... and his last "first day" of school ever. (Cue the tears!)
