I was heading out to the store early Monday morning to stock up on supplies. I was on the phone with my mom when I heard myself say, “There’s a chance we’re not going to make it. I don’t know how we’re going to pull all of this off. “Here’s a look at the progress we’ve made for Week 3 of the One Room Challenge…
When we first started planning the elements of the bedroom for the One Room Challenge, we were fairly certain we would be keeping all of the furniture. As soon as we decided to paint a few of the pieces, I immediately thought about Lamp Black for the dresser. I fully understand black can be a tough sell but I could not stop thinking about how amazing the rich color would look when given a chance for change. Here’s a look at how Lamp Black completely transformed the dresser…
Before we started all of the festivities from the weekend we managed to accomplish a few things on our project list for the One Room Challenge including a $30 window upgrade. Here’s a peek at how this simple upgrade changed the look of the windows…
This week…you guys…what a week! I don’t really even have the words to adequately convey what this week has been like because it’s been THAT all over the place. There have been so many changes to our original plan. Here’s a look at our One Room Challenge progress for week two…
By now you may already know we’re currently participating in the One Room Challenge. I know it seems like 6 weeks is a long time to get a room completed from start to finish but we’re entering into week 2 and I swear it feels like our list is a mile long! We’ve been looking for a way to change the look of the existing bedroom furniture and found a way to give furniture a weathered look by layering paint. Here’s a peek at how you can create a similar look too…
You guys, I swear it feels like forever since we talked about starting on the home office makeover! We spent a few weeks researching decorative wall treatments like wainscoting, shiplap, tile, and paneling. Ultimately, we chose to install board and batten in the office because we felt it best fit the style of the rest of the house. Here’s a look at our experience in case you’re thinking about installing board and batten in your home too…
About this time last year, we embarked on a diy and decorating adventure called the One Room Challenge. It was so much work and yet so much fun turning my office from an outdated space into the beautiful and functional office of my dreams. So it’s in this same spirit we’ve decided to participate in the One Room Challenge again this year by making over a space that is WAY overdue, the master bedroom. Here’s a peek at our plans…
Happy Friday, you guys! How’s the week going? Do you have anything fun planned for this weekend? I hope so. After a month filled with heartache, it’s nice to feel back on track and finally have something fun to look forward to. Here are a few of our favorite things from around the web this week…
If you had a chance to read our post about the Spring Porch Tour on Tuesday you know it’s beginning to feel like spring around here. Just inside the front door is our entry that opens up to the dining room, so today, I thought I would share how we added a bit of spring to the entry too.
A couple of weeks ago my bestie S asked me to meet up at our local home improvement store. We needed to pick up a few supplies for the spring front porch and the office makeover. The terra cotta pots flanking each side of the front door are fairly large so we selected pretty flowers that were also budget friendly. Here’s a look at the plants we chose for the Spring Front Porch Tour…
I fully intended to keep this week’s posts, “business as usual” until sharing an update on Friday. But over the past 24 hours we have suffered yet another devastating loss and it seems insensitive to act as if things are fine when scenes from our week have been filled with hospitals, hugs and home goings. I had just finished a training run late last week when my mom called to say her dad who has been in hospice care had taken a turn for the worst. It was the day before our big race …
Happy Friday, you guys! How has your week been? I can hardly believe after three months of training tomorrow is the big race. 9.3 miles over 2 bridges. I know! I’m super nervous and super exited all at the same time. Here’s a peek at scenes from our week and a few fun things we found around the web…
