We've hit the ground running with the modern fireplace makeover, but I want to focus a bit on custom fireplace design and what to expect when dealing with a stone fabricator. If you saw last week's post, you know that the stone for the fireplace arrived last week, and I decided to throw my hat into the One Room Challenge. Nothing too for[...]
Well, it just so happens that the surround and stone for the modern fireplace makeover arrive at the same time as the One Room Challenge began. Do you know what that means? I'm jumping in, baby! The last time I participated, I was an ORC featured designer and had so much fun. Why not do it again? Am I right? RELATED: The brick fi[...]
Right now, I'm picturing Linda...organizer of the One Room Challenge...standing outside my room with a whistle yelling, "Time's up! Drop what you're doing and step away from the room." Today marks the end of an 8 week-long journey in home decor. I've given my work from home office a complete redesign and transformed an old storage closet[...]
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[...]
Holy Hannah! How has it already been a week? Time is flyin', so I guess that means we've been hard at work on the One Room Challenge. 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[...]
