One Room Challenge Week 5: The Home Stretch

November 1, 2018

We’re beyond excited to be a part of the One Room Challenge as guest participants. This has been on our home bucket list for a few years now and finally the timing was right for us to participate. Over the next six weeks we’ll be giving our outdated guest bathroom the attention that it deserves. . . finally. We’re taking it down to the studs and creating an entirely new space. We hope you enjoy watching the process just as much as we enjoy creating a new space.

Well, my friends. Here were are at week 5. Say what!? I can barely believe it myself. When I first started this challenge I just knew 6 weeks would be enough time to flip an entire bathroom. I figured 6 weeks is a month and a half. Plenty of time. I changed my mind. Oh, it can and will be done but not without burning the midnight oil.

Here’s where we are at this current moment: demo was completed and all of the tile has been installed. And oh my, is it beyond what I imagined it to be!

But do not fear, everything else should be smooth sailing from here. I spent the past couple of nights finishing up the grout and cleaning the tiles as Ryan works away in the garage building our vanity.

Wait, what??

That’s right! Not only are we flipping a bathroom in 6 weeks but we also decided to build our own vanity to stay within budget. With just a week left, can this entire bathroom be pulled together? Although you can see some changes in this space finally, you’ll see the biggest transformation take place next week with the big reveal.

As for today I’m finally painting the bathroom with these gorgeous colors from Clare Paint. I was beyond thrilled when they reached out asking if I’d like to try some of their colors for the bathroom renovation. You guys know how I feel about paint. . . obsessed with it! We went with Whipped and Irony.

If you follow me over on Instagram then you’ve probably seen me mention them a few times on IG stories. It’s a new paint company created by the oh so talented interior designer, Nicole Gibbons. With only 55 curated timeless colors that are delivered to your front door, it’s an experience like no other. I’ll be sharing more about this paint company soon as I share my experience from receiving the samples to painting my walls.

After the painting is done it’s basically anything and everything that’s not paint and tile related. This is the thing, I’ve always worked well under pressure and it seems to add to the thrill of the adventure. Although Ryan would disagree since he is 100% the opposite of a night owl. As for me, give me a great audio book or podcast to listen to, and I’ll work the night away to get a few projects completed.

Make sure to check back next week for the big reveal. This whole process has been exciting yet a roller coaster of emotions. This is the first time I’ve ever designed a space and completely flipped every square inch. As projects are completed I get very excited but then equal parts nervous wondering if it will all truly come together in the end. I’ll guess you’ll have to find out next Thursday!

Don’t forget to follow along over on the One Room Challenge blog to see the Featured Designers and Guest Participants. There are SO many amazing rooms that are being designed and brought to life!

Let’s keep in touch!

We have a brand new community over on Facebook, House & Home, where we’ll be chatting, sharing, and helping one another when it comes to home decor and projects. Come join us! Check it out here.

    Hi, I am looking for a vanity like yours. I know that you built it. Could you give me the information of the vanity. Measurements and what local business did you use. I’m here from Orlando. I would love to make this vanity. Thanks for your help and posting ideas. You are so creative.

This pretty much sums up the progress of making 25 This pretty much sums up the progress of making 250 cement tiles. But I’m halfway through! The moment I finish the last tile is the moment I knock out the old tile. Let’s do this!
Time to bet on my DIY skills! I’m attempting to Time to bet on my DIY skills! I’m attempting to make my own cement tiles for our outdoor front door area. Mainly because of what I’m saving vs buying them. Won’t be saving much on time but I’M MAKING TILES! Never thought I’d hear myself say that. Make sure to follow along because if this works out, I have a feeling a lot of you are already eyeing a spot in your home to try your own DIY cement tiles. 
 
Thank you @vintagerevivals and @abby_roadhome for showing it’s possible with your gorgeous bathroom tiles!

We got the call that the pool build is starting! W We got the call that the pool build is starting! Which had me scrambling to dig up all the plants that were in the way in an effort to save them. Literally down to the last second before the crew showed up. Exciting day but you know what’s even more exciting? Knowing the next crew will officially be breaking ground with the excavation phase of the build.
This time of year is full of organizing and purgin This time of year is full of organizing and purging to bring spaces back to life. But sometimes all a space needs to feel refreshed is, well, a refresh and a little attention. Your number one requested space was the living room. So I gave mine a refresh with some unique and gorgeous finds from @homesense_us . I found a few fun pots for my houseplants, a gorgeous magnifying glass, and a few other items for our coffee table and couch.

I never know what I’m going to find when I walk into Homesense since it’s always rotating with amazing finds. But I do know I’ll walk out with a few new favorites for my home at affordable prices. If you haven’t yet, I urge you to check and see if you have a Homesense near you! #DiscoverHomesense #HomesensePartner
2022, you were awesome. But I’m determined to ma 2022, you were awesome. But I’m determined to make 2023 even better! And I hope you join me! We can be one of our biggest cheerleaders, but together we’re going to do big things. Go ahead and write down a big, small and a few in-between projects you want to get done this year in your home. Kicking it off with intention and that reminder that we can do this. Ready to get started?! Let me know in the comments the first project you want to tackle!
We finally got the Christmas/winter edition of the We finally got the Christmas/winter edition of the window projection up and running! It was a hit for Halloween and just as fun for this time of year as well. I built frames wrapped with a plastic drop cloth but you can also secure the drop cloth over the windows using command strips. The videos are from @atmosfx and we use a mini projector to play them on the screen. Place a Bluetooth speaker outside and you’re in business! Such a fun addition this time of year for the exterior of your home.
It’s the last little bit of the demo we needed t It’s the last little bit of the demo we needed to do in order to give the green light for the pool to start. And 2,456 pavers later, it’s done! This was exhausting but worth the money we saved doing it ourselves. And why remove them? We’re using a different stone around the pool and we want it to be cohesive up to the house. Don’t worry, someone got one heck of a deal on these pavers, we made a little money, and someone else got them out of our driveway. I’d say that’s a win-win. Stayed tuned for the entire pool process as we enter 2023. It’s going to be pretty exciting to watch!
Our patio space has served us so well over the yea Our patio space has served us so well over the years and now it’s time for a change because we’re getting a POOL!! Sharing this with you makes it even more real because just a year ago I would have told you it isn’t in the cards for us. We’ll be breaking ground soon but first we have to remove the screen enclosure. Spoiler: we won’t be putting one back up around the pool. It has already made the biggest difference visually and SO much natural light pours into our home now with it gone. It’s going to be so exciting seeing this all unfold so stay tuned! Up next: removing the pavers.
This holiday season we were able to travel to my h This holiday season we were able to travel to my hometown for the first time in awhile. We were greeted by the most beautiful sunset on the beach. Fast forward to this week as I headed to @homesense_us for some holiday shopping, and I ended up finding a few pieces for our home that remind me of that core memory on the beach. The beautiful wicker bench caught my eye first followed by the comforter and toss pillows. Everything at amazing price points while not sacrificing style and quality. #HomesensePartner

Mixing a thrill of a find with a core memory, I guarantee you'll fall in love with your home even more as you go to decorate. Decorating your home isn't grasping on to the newest trend or what you think others would do. It's what YOU want to do. And sometimes that's based on an emotional connection. Oh, the stories your spaces will be able to tell as you decorate each one. Start with seeing if there’s a @homesense_us near you! #DiscoverHomesense #HomesenseSarasota
