Well, I think I’ve finally recovered from the One Room Challenge “burn-out” I experienced from such an intensive six-week journey, haha. Which is not to say that I wouldn’t do it all over again, the laundry room we have as a result was completely 100% worth it, and I certainly plan on participating again in the fall. But it did require a little break to recover. So while…
Its here, its finally here!! The day we’ve been waiting six long (well, actually very very fast) weeks for!! In case this is your first time visiting, we’ve been renovating our basement laundry room into the washing/drying/folding space of our dreams and you catch up on the week-by-week progress updates below: Week 1 (The design) // Week 2 (Tile/Cabinets) // Week 3 (Hardware/Wallpaper) // Week 4 (Folding Station)…
So this is about the time that I start freaking out. It is the very last week of the One Room Challenge, and I had been feeling fairly in control until about three days ago, when I realized the “few little things” I had left were clearly going to take much longer than I expected. Of course, I should have expected this, otherwise, why did I put them…
So not only are we done with Week 4, but by the time you are reading this update, we are half way through with week five (eek!). I may have gotten a skosh behind this week, and so am getting this update in down to the wire. But in all honestly, I think that it is quite fitting and probably high time you guys knew my true personality…I…
We’ve done it!! Half way point, woo-hoo!!!!! We had some weather delays early on in this week — unusual for an indoor challenge, I realize — but basically there were several things that needed to be done which required above-freezing temps and no snow on the ground (although the former was actually a requirement, and the latter was just a personal preference;). First, the wallpaper primer needed to…
Well, I don’t know if a week has ever gone so quickly, but here we are, at week 2. I want to first start by giving you all a progress update, and then talk about what our plans are for the coming weeks. I started to get pretty stressed out this week with all of the things I need to do swirling around in my head, so decided…
I’m so excited to finally be participating in a One Room Challenge!!!! I’ve followed along for many years, excited week-to-week to see the progress of the featured designers, along with any of the guest participants that had caught my eye. And now, I’m one of those guest participants!! Truth be told, this challenge is serving as the motivation not only for me to complete our dark and dingy…
Since starting the blog, I have been spending a good portion of the time while the kids are school (and some evenings, I’m quite the novice so everything takes twice as long), working on the computer at our kitchen counter. Which would work fine in most situations, but our kitchen was designed by people who fancied themselves to be above-average height, and custom-built the cabinets to be 2…
One of the first rooms we tackled after moving into our home, was the powder room. It’s one of the first rooms you see when you walk into the house (literally, you can see it from our front door, yikes!), so we wanted it to make a better impression than it currently did. Here is a listing photo of how it looked prior to to the updates, just…
