As I’m still playing virtual dollhouse before I can move back to DC, I’ve been through the living room, art inspo for the bedroom, and now I’m on to the bathroom.
We had a black and white bathroom with some pink in our old place, but I’ve decided that my entire bathroom is going to be an ode to the print below. It’s by one of my favorite artists, Martin Bruckner, and was inspired by a quote by his then two year old. (Harper is now 7 or 8, I think.) You can see more of his prints here.
I already have my soap dispenser, toothbrush holder, and shower curtain, so it really won’t be hard to bring everything else together. The towel set and bath mat are actually my own designs and kind of go with the whole pop art thing. I don’t want it to look too matchy/matchy, which is why I’m playing with patterns in the same color (or non-color?) families.

I probably don’t owe anyone an explanation, certainly not on a post about pink bathrooms, but it started coming out of my fingertips as I fought the urge to apologize for my “when I move back to DC”s so here we are. Most of my readers and certainly my friends and family already know about this.
I have been safe at home, alone, with my parents since July. It’s actually working out perfectly during quarantining. I love them for taking me back in almost a year ago and I know I’m in, really, the ideal situation while everything is going on. The original plan was for me to be here for a year. That may still be the case, but with courts closed, I’m not sure when I will truly, legally be divorced. We reached an amicable divorce agreement but the last step is for me to go before a judge as a legal resident of Maryland, and I’m not sure when that will be. Until then, I have an awesome setup here and it’s been better for all three of us, I think, to be together.
When I feel comfortable, and once it’s truly over, I may one day open up more about my divorce. I will never publicly bash him and I would hope the same in return. Obviously, nobody goes into a marriage expecting to get a divorce, especially after barely a year, but here we are. At one point, it felt like my whole life was falling apart. Now I’m just ready to keep it moving. And that’s why I’m virtual doll-housing and planning for the future.
