A few weeks ago, we spent the day giving my mom a surprise adventure. I knew we were going to have a great time but I was pleasantly surprised about the decorating lessons we learned from an old fort built in 1864 and how many of the design elements we continue to use today. Keep reading to see how many you use in your home…
Happy Friday, you guys! How has your week been? Good, I hope! I wanted to share some exiting news with you today. Here’s a peek at scenes from our week and all of our favorite things from around the web…
Have you guys had a chance to look through all the Spring One Room Challenge reveal posts yet? There were 254 guest participants and so many fabulous makeovers. I swear each Challenge gets better and better. Here’s a peek at a few spaces I know you’ll love…
I almost skipped today’s Messy House Tour post. To be perfectly honest, I feel like we are still playing catch up from the One Room Challenge master bedroom reveal. Of all the posts to cut this week, it seemed like this one would be the easiest one to cut. But then my mom sent me the quote of the day by Paulo Coelho that read…”One day or day one. You decide,” and it kinda rocked my world.
From start to finish we completed the One Room Challenge in six weeks. Those weeks were filled with everything from ripping out the carpet and stenciling the floors to adding architectural elements with board and batten to shopping estate sales and thrift stores to pull together accessories and finishing details. As with any makeover, there are so many factors that went into completing these projects, so, I thought I would give you a peek into our shopping sources and budget breakdown…
You guys, I can’t believe we’re finally at the master bedroom reveal day of the One Room Challenge. We worked a ton of late nights, early mornings and every weekend for six weeks. We made dirty, dusty messes all over the house and on the front lawn too. We ate lots of take out, a ridiculous number of sweet treats and drank galloons of lattes. This transformation was totally bananas and totally worth it. Here’s a look at how all the details for the master bedroom project came together…
Do you ever think about creating a “dream space” in your home? Me too. Over the past six weeks, I’ve looked at these old images of the master bedroom probably a hundred times. Tomorrow is the big reveal day and I couldn’t be more excited to show you guys how things have come together. But I also don’t want you to forget where we came from either…
A few weeks ago, my mom was back in our hometown and found a console table she said was “slightly orange.” We had been looking for a slim lined table for the bedroom makeover and the one she found had all the right measurements. Honestly, when she sent me a picture the orange colored table, it didn’t look that bad. But once I picked it up from her, it all made perfect sense. Here’s a look at how we used dark wax as a stain and transformed a slightly orange console table into a warm and rustic desk…
You guys, you guys, you guys…this One Room Challenge is making me feel like the Mayor of Crazy Town! We have entered the phase of totally exhausted meets totally excited and things are getting so, so, so…real. Here’s a peek at our progress for week five and all the goodies we picked up on our recent shopping trip…
Happy Friday, you guys! How’s your week going? Do you have anything fun planned for this weekend? We’re excited to be finally nearing the end of the construction phase of the One Room Challenge so we’ll be rallying to finish the last of the big projects on the bedroom makeover this weekend. Here’s a behind the scenes peek at what we’ve been up to and all of our favorite things from around the web this week…
Well, the week I was most worried about – Week Four – has all but come to an end…and I survived….cue Cool and the Gang! Here’s a look at the progress we’ve made on Week Four of the One Room Challenge…
Of all of the DIY projects related to the master bedroom makeover, stenciling the concrete floor was the task I was most excited and also the most nervous about. I’m happy to report we finished this project in plenty of time and it’s totally fabulous! Here’s a look at how we completely transformed the bedroom floor with the help of Royal Design Studio Stencils…
