Next week is the final reveal of the One Room Challenge, and I'm so not ready. On the surface, it may look like I'm in the home stretch, but there's much more that needs to be completed. Oh, and I keep forgetting stores aren't open and stocked like normal. Even a trip to Home Depot must be planned out like a day-long excursion. Let's do[...]
Welcome to the crunch time portion of the One Room Challenge. Thus far, I've been feeling pretty confident, but that doesn't mean Imma let my foot off the gas pedal. There are still so many tiny details to wrap up, but first, let's review what's completed, shall we? The wallpaper was installed a couple of weeks ago by a wizard...l[...]
Oh boy, the halfway point is where the One Room Challenge can get sketchy. You think, damn son, I'm rockin' this ORC! All I have to do is zhush it up, right? Wrong! This is when time starts to slip outta your hands because you get cocky. Case in point, instead of painting the French doors last weekend, I decided to sit in the driveway an[...]
We're screamin' into Week 3 of the One Room Challenge and have reached the point in construction where every room is covered in dust, and the house is a disaster. But that's where the magic happens, am I right? At least that is what I'm telling myself. If you've been watching my Stories on Instagram, you know the tile is installed and we[...]

In case you missed the debut post, you can get all the deets and a peek at the mood boards on ORC Week 1 here. Present state of the space — The Boy ripped the carpet out, and we have a clean slate! Check[...]
ERMERGERD! Did you hear? I’m a featured designer in the Spring One Room Challenge and couldn’t be more excited about it. I’ve participated in the ORC twice as a guest participant…the first was my home office in the old house. When I look back five years ago, I srsly ask myself, what on earth were you thinking? The first One R[...]
In case you haven't heard the news, it was just announced that I will be one of the One Room Challenge Spring 2020 featured designers! Holy scream emoji! Exciting right!?!?!? When I first discovered the One Room Challenge, six some years ago, I was in the middle of the guest bedroom makeover in our old house and completely befuddled why[...]
Ooof! How has a week passed? Can you riddle me that? When you're knee-deep in the One Room Challenge time flies when your swinging sledgehammers. Gerry and his team are hard at work and so am I...finally picked a tile for the bathroom makeover, and lemme tell you, it wasn't an easy choice. Wanna get into it? Let's roll! First and[...]
Oh, One Room Challenge...you are the mistress I love to hate. Your pull is strong, my dear. When I don't participate, I feel left out...but when I do, I question my sanity. For those unfamiliar with the One Room Challenge...or The ORC as my fellow bloggers refer to it as...it's a challenge to makeover a room in only 6 weeks and document[...]
