Master Bathroom Refresh
At this point, we have redone just about every room in the house, except the master bath. When we first moved in 11 years ago, we slapped down some peal and stick tile to spruce things up a bit. Age was not real kind to this quick solution, and the counter top really could stand to be replaced:
