An \u201cearthy\u201d look and feel brings calm and comfort to one of the most important rooms in your entire house. Bring the outside in, and you\u2019ll turn your interior design inside out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bianca\u2019s take on an \u201cearthy\u201d design started with a base foundation of darker tones, including the gray, cement-looking shower tile, to pair with her dark brown Florence Slate cabinets.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She contrasted the darker elements with smaller \u201cpops of color,\u201d like a vanity-top plant and a light wood shower stool. Small soaps, body scrubs, textured hand towels, and new bamboo shades made up the final layers of modern comfort and warm contrast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding a natural, \u201cearthy\u201d look is an easy way to improve your bathroom. Start with a solid foundation, then add simple yet thoughtful accessories for the finishing bits of flair.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brand-new vanities are an excellent foundation piece. Why? They\u2019re practical, stylish, and simple to install as Bianca found out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Choose Part-Time Assembly for Full-Time Benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a content creator, Bianca manages multiple accounts on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. But that\u2019s only her part-time job. On top of posting projects and getting the actual DIY work done, Bianca works a full-time job that comes before any renovation work gets done.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like Bianca, you may be facing the same dilemma. It\u2019s a practical question everyone asks, but even more so when you\u2019ve got to juggle work, kids, family, and everything else. So how do you find the time to DIY?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite her busy schedule, she completed her project in \u201ca few hours\u201d over 2 days. Here\u2019s how she did it:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>A Helping Hand: Bianca had the assistance of her brother\u2014who also works full-time\u2014making the project go much faster. Once they both got off work, they put in 3 hours on the first day and then a few more hours after work on the next day.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/assets\/html\/free-kitchen-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Free Design Help<\/a>: Bianca used the free design help offered by the RTA Cabinet Store for her bathroom vanity project and an additional kitchen renovation she has planned.

But it\u2019s also very practical, providing her with a sturdy and spacious place to store cleaning products and other bathroom essentials. To accomplish this, Bianca opted for a single-sink vanity with a tall linen cabinet directly next to it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That extra storage space plays a large role in Bianca\u2019s next project. She\u2019s turning her garage into a living space (a lot like a mother-in-law suite), but this time, two sister companies to RTA Cabinet Store will play a defining role. Her plans include a feature wall with RTA Cabinet Store cabinetry, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricfireplacesdirect.com\/products\/modern-flames-54-in-redstone-built-in-electric-fireplace?variant=43022527234197\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this fireplace<\/a> from Electric Fireplaces Direct, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mantelsdirect.com\/products\/yosemite-wood-fireplace-mantel?variant=40169307570342\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this fireplace surround<\/a> from Mantels Direct.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, Bianca\u2019s experience with the RTA Cabinet Store gave her a new perspective on how to use cabinets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo be honest, I always assumed that cabinets had to be purchased already put together,\u201d she said, \u201cIt was kind of a new world to have the option to have something more affordable that you can put together.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to make the jump to DIY?
