The finished dining room in all its patterned layers

Once again we’re embarking on another One Room Challenge. I have reservations about our ability to finish this time around, yet as always I’m excited to be participating. Week 1 kicks off with the design concept and before photos.

This is the final date to link up for the One Room Challenge! So i't’s time to pre-reveal the room with plans to share the final reveal when the chairs and window treatment hardware arrive. Details about how this space of many layers seems to somehow work, based on the principles of design.

This is finally the week we’re talking about the chairs! They still are not completed yet, (the fabric shipped today to my upholsterer) but I wanted to share the style I am going with and what has to be done to make them look the way I want them to be.

This week is all about wallpaper! Since so many people have asked me for wallpaper demos or tutorials, I’ve decided I wouldn’t do that, but I will provide some of my favorite tips and tidbits I’ve learned, as well as favorite tools and supplies I use for wallpapering.

For week three of the ORC I started wallpapering and thinking about artwork. I also finished painting the ceiling.

It’s time to talk about the blue ceiling I’m planning for this room! In this post I’m delving into the process as well as the reasoning behind why I’m choosing to paint the ceiling of my dining room light ‘haint’ blue!

Here we go again! Joining the One Room Challenge again for my second go around and this time we’re remodeling the dining room!

It’s here, the REVEAL! This tiny but mighty little jewel box can finally sparkle. I am so happy I decided to participate this year! It’s just the motivation we needed to complete this space.

We are in the home stretch! I am feeling the heat as we try to pull it all together. Last week the big accomplishment was the wallpaper. But let’s discuss the huge mistake I made just when I was finished! Causing me having to redo an entire section of the room!

After a week off to from the One Room Challenge, this week we were able to check off a few big items from the To-do List. With these items being completed, this room is really starting to come together.

This week is a little about all progress and a lot about the jib door we’re installing. It has been the topic of conversation at home and the major factor in the success of our completion of this project. Sounds silly to be so focused on a door, but this one design decision has impacted a lot of other decisions, and has created an domino effect.

We’re in the second week of the One Room Challenge and I wanted to share our process of the demo and what got us to the point of turning a corner on progress.

I’ve decided to participate in the One Room Challenge this year! Due Covid-19 pushing back the start date it is coinciding with our powder room renovation and it seemed appropriate for me get involved. It also may give me the right amount of fire under my feet to get this project completed in an appropriate amount of time!

Here it is! The full reveal of our scullery!

The scullery project is nearing the finish line, but here’s the place to walk you through the design plan and thought process.

In a multi-part series I’ll discuss the plans of the scullery and powder room, as well as a little bit of the process. Since we’ve already been working on the scullery, you can catch up on the process over on the highlights.

In this post I’m sharing the tools we’re using for storage and functionality in our new kitchen!

Many questions have been asked about our countertops - What are they? How durable are they? How much? Why did we select this stone? Well, I’m breaking it down here.

The design plan for our kitchen including the scheme, drawings and selected sources.

The very first step we needed to take in updating and remodeling our home was to refinish the floors and skim coat the walls. See the before pictures of what we started with and how much of a difference a little refinishing can do!
