Eight weeks. One Room. Completely complete. This One Room Challenge was special for me because for the past [almost] 2 years, Steve has been working from home like so many others. He hasn’t had a terrible setup but in the home office, it was kind of a catch-all. We stuck an old desk that we’ve […]
The final project for this One Room Challenge is creating a cushion for the window seat I built a few weeks ago. This feels like the whole thing culminating into this vision I once had at the beginning of this journey. Check out the window seat here! I am using some scrap MDF that’s 1/2″ thick […]
It’s week 6 of the One Room Challenge and WHAT the actual wall treatment will be has been the question since the beginning. Truly, I wanted to do a fabulous accent wall of wallpaper. That didn’t work out because of a couple reasons. This is a large wall and to cover the entire wall would […]
It’s that time again, it’s week FIVE of the One Room Challenge! This week is a DIY plywood waterfall desk.So let’s catch up on what we were working on this week. Last week, I built a built-in window seat and I left one side unfinished. That’s because I was going to be adding a built-in […]
Another week has come and gone with 2 kids and man, the time just goes quicker and quicker with kids, age, and, doing things you love! This week is all about the window seat I built in our office. I have been dreaming of a window seat and built-ins for years and now my dreams […]
This pegboard journey started long before the One Room Challenge. Last year, when the pandemic locked down the world, I started creating this pegboard for my son’s room. Everything started off really well and then the struggles began. This was a time that everyone was making a pegboard and it looked like the easiest thing […]
Let’s start the first project of this One Room Challenge Office Makeover to be function-centered. The Office was such a disaster. In order really to be able to do anything in there, I needed to clean, organize and find a home for the stuff that’s just accumulated in here because it had no other place […]
After a not-so-intentional hiatus from the blog, we are coming back with an exciting project! We are going to be remodeling our home office to be a office/gym combo! The theme of the past few months has been functionality. My vision for this office was beautiful, traditional and, to be honest, a complete waste of […]
This project is the center piece of my son’s modern Spiderman big-boy room. We painted his entire room a color block of grey and navy with small red accents around the room. We are using the backdrop I bought for his birthday party last year as a DIY canvas. SUPPLIES: – Fabric of choice: […]
So, you want to make something out of concrete but you’ve never worked with it before. Let’s get you a foundation of knowledge on concrete: Yes, concrete or mortar mixing can be intimidating or daunting, but there really isn’t that much to it. Concrete is basically just rocks, dust, and water that when you mix […]
The more projects I complete, the more I find myself saying “I’ve wanted to do this since moving into the house 2 years ago”. I’ve had a lot of plans for this house from the beginning. This trellis wall is one of them. However, the plans for it have transformed massively since the original […]
The entryway of your home is what first greats guests when the come to your home and mine has been lacking for 2 years because other projects have taken priority. I was so unsure of what exactly I wanted there. That is until I saw this beautiful entryway table from Restoration Hardware but one problem, […]
I can’t believe that it’s the end of the One Room Challenge. At first, it felt overwhelming to commit to transforming an entire space in 6-8 weeks and then it felt like it would never end. But here we are on reveal day and I’m so happy to have this half bathroom completely complete. […]
