She shares our love of thrift shop hunting, interior design and DIY. The Sweetest Digs is a blog about Gemma’s adventures in transforming her first house from boring to beautiful on a shoestring budget.
Gemma’s bathroom before was pretty non-descript, totally storage-deprived with a danky old tub.
Goodbye boring beige bathroom. Hello classic, bright, and fresh. She’s a whole new woman.
Love the white with beautiful shower curtain and spa blue glass tile accent.
Gorgeous floating vanity/sink…
