One Week Challenge Week Four – It’s all About that Wallpaper
Four weeks in and only four to go…..which means it’s just time for my annual One Room Challenge panic period to start. I’m really hoping that my county will get the yellow light next week as planned which will make finishing up a little bit easier, but in the meantime let’s talk about two of my favorite subjects — wallpaper and shiplap. Week 1 / Week 2 / Week 3 / Week 4 / Week 5 / Week 6 / Week 7 / Week 8 (Some of the links included in this post are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you…

One Room Challenge Week Three – A new coat of Paint and my DIY Built in Desk
Every year Week Three of the One Room Challenge sneaks up on me! It’s the point where lots of things are started but nothing is actually finished and it’s hard to feel comfortable about my progress — but I just keep reminding myself how far I’ve come already and keep checking things off that list, like picking the perfect paint color. Week 1 / Week 2 / Week 3 / Week 4 / Week 5 / Week 6 / Week 7 / Week 8 (Some of the links included in this post are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click…

One Room Challenge Week Two – the Master Bedroom Plan
Welcome back to the Spring One Room Challenge – Master Bedroom Edition! Now that we are officially underway I’ve got the same “can I really get this all done” nerves that I get every year. Between having to work around our new schedule and the stress about getting the rest of my supplies, there’s been a whole new set of challenges to overcome this year — so I’m really thankful for those extra two weeks the ORC team has given us this time around! Week 1 / Week 2 / Week 3 / Week 4 / Week 5 / Week 6 / Week 7 / Week 8 (Some of the…

One Room Challenge Week One – A Master Retreat
Since so much looks different in the world right now I’m happy to get back to something familiar by kicking off my next big home project and my latest entry into the One Room Challenge! For anyone new to this event, the One Room Challenge is an amazing opportunity for home bloggers hosted by Linda at Calling it Home in partnership with Better Home and Gardens. During the next 8 weeks a group of over 200 guest and 20 featured bloggers will challenge themselves to transform one room in their homes and share their progress each week. Before we get started let me start by saying “HI” to any new…

How to Create a Plaid Feature Wall
I don’t write a lot of in depth tutorials, but there were a lot of asks for a break down of how I created the plaid feature wall in my entry, and as always I am here to help. To make things easier I tried to name some of the parts of the project I refer to over and over again, and you will find them in CAPS throughout. In this project, the installation is relatively easy, but the planning is more involved. I tried to break things down as best I could and included some (hopefully) helpful diagrams to illustrate things further as well as some progress pics so…

My Favorite One Room Challenge Design Trends
Since my tired legs sorely needed a rest this weekend, I was able to go through all of my fellow One Room Challenge guest participants final reveals and all I can say is WOW!! I’ve said it before but the support from this community is the main reason I put myself through this crazy 6 weeks each year, but a close second is the incredible wealth of talent, inspiration, and DIY ideas this group provides! As I going through everyone’s finished spaces, I started to notice a few trends that kept popping up – so I thought it would be great to share not just my favorite reveals but also…

One Room Challenge Week 6 – The Foyer / Staircase / Loft FINAL REVEAL
And just like that we’ve reached the end my friends – six weeks of late nights, early mornings, and constant trips to the hardware store and my One Room Challenge spaces are done. At the end of Week 4 I was incredibly worried that I wasn’t going to make it, but something magical always seems to happen in that final push and it all comes together. I want to thank you all for joining me on this journey – both here on the blog but also through my other social media channels. I have said it before but it bears repeating – your interest in this project and support along…

One Room Challenge Week 5 – A Modern Gallery Wall and DIY PB Inspired Mirror
One more week friends and it’s finally reveal time! Now’s the time of the One Room Challenge where I am basically running on fumes – but at the end of each day the finish line for each space is coming closer and closer into view. I’m holding back showing you how all of the pieces are coming together, but I really think it’s gonna be worth the wait when you see the final reveal next week! Week 1 / Week 2 / Week 3 / Week 4 / Week 5 / Week 6 (Some of the links included in this post are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to…

One Room Challenge Week 4 – How many Accent Walls is too many?
Remember way back in Week 2 when I said that my design plan was “a lot of look?” Well here we are already wrapping up Week 4 of the One Room Challenge and thankfully most of that “look” is installed so it’s too late to turn back now! As I sit here and type this I’m also writing up my list of things still left to do and realizing I’m going to put in many many late nights to pull this off, but for now let’s celebrate what has already been checked off! if you missed any of the first three weeks you can check them out at the links…

One Room Challenge Week 3 – Demoing and Rebuilding my Banisters
We’ve reached the halfway point of the One Room Challenge! I’m seriously trying to figure out if I am more in the weeds than last year, or if I just completely blocked all of that out and only remember the feeling of accomplishment. I think I severely under-estimated the amount of finishing work and painting I have taken on this time, but I keep trying to remind myself that I can always paint into the wee hours of the morning as long as I have everything installed – and that’s what week 3 was all about! If you missed my first two posts you can check them out below: Week…
