HE IS RISEN

Happy Easter everyone! I made this print for you to celebrate that Jesus has risen!! (scroll to the bottom to download!) If you're in Victoria and looking for a church to attend, I want to personally invite you to Glad Tidings- check our instagram for service times. Let me know if you're coming!

He is risen.

Death was defeated.

Love conquered all.

The veil was torn.

He has invited us in.

NO GREATER LOVE

---

There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. 16 You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. 17 This is my command: Love each other.
-John 15:13-17

7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
-Romans 5:7-8

It's Good Friday. It's a big day for me. For some it may only be an extra day off work. But for everyone it's a day where the greatest act of love took place. This act was for you, for me, for believers, for unbelievers, for everyone.
Christ died for us so we could know and experience full love and life with God.

You are dearly loved and were worth dying for.

OUR HOME // BATHROOM (BEFORE)

---

image via

I can't believe I've shared almost all of the befores of our house! So far you've seen the suite (before & after!), kitchen, living room, master bedroom & dining room. All that's left after the bathroom is the office/studio and guest bedroom.

Now the bathroom is the room that most definitely did not win me over....

The old owners had a serious "under the sea" vibe going on. Now don't get me wrong, I love the little mermaid but I do not want the little mermaid or any of her fishy friends in my bathroom. 

We immediately painted the whole thing white which made a world of difference. We (and by we I mean Mike, my brother in law) put in an awesome super powerful yet super quiet fan. It was very weird that there were NO FANS in either the upstairs or downstairs bathrooms. All this talk about fans is riveting hey? 

We obviously still have a ton of things to do...rip out that piece of wood over the shower...it's very odd, it makes showering very dark, add tile to the place, redo the floors and counter top...this again will be a pricey reno so it will have to wait till the time is right but in the meantime I'm free to plan and dream! Here's what I've been dreaming about for this space:

1 // 2 // 3

Obviously I'm all about the subway tiles for the bathroom. I also want to do a cute penny tile somewhere...maybe the floor? And I'm really digging having a lot of black masculine elements. BUT I'm also (big surprise) tossing around the idea of a lot of gold...but I think black is winning me over...!!

Hope you have an amazing day!
