DIY Home Updates
It's Saturday night, almost 10 pm CST, exactly one day before the One Room Challenge deadline. Uros and I have worked so hard to get this master bathroom completed on time. I was on the verge of giving up several times and just blowing off this deadline because so many things were not falling into [...]
It's been a couple of weeks since my last One Room Challenge update. The kids were sick and we were waiting on a contractor to help with the floor installation and many items are delayed so I did not have much of an update but now I do! The big one that my Uros and [...]
It's the last day of week 4 and writing this blog two hours before it's due because it has been a nightmare of a week for our master bathroom reno. Last week we talked about how we installed the Schluter system to waterproof our shower floor and walls. During the installation process we noticed that [...]
This week of the One Room Challenge we completed the not-so-glamorous tasks of re-routing plumbing and installing drywall. I learned a ton about the proper way of waterproofing walls so that they don't leak behind the tile (once it is installed). Plumbing is the only part of this project we are not doing ourselves. A [...]
It's Week 2 of the One Room Challenge and we spend the whole week demoing our master bathroom. If you missed Week 1 design plans check them out here. This was our first project in which we gutted everything ourselves. We started off demoing the wall behind the vanity because this is the wall the [...]
I can't believe it's fall already and that I'm participating in my fifth One Room Challenge. Yes, fifth. Here is a run-through of all of the rooms I was able to complete by participating in the challenge. Guest Bedroom | ORC Fall 2019 Family Room| ORC Spring 2020 Powder Room| ORC Fall 2020 Library Room| [...]
Today is the day friends and I can't believe we made it! We put so much hard work into this space for the last eight weeks and I'm beyond excited to share all the details of our home library. The transformation is dramatic but before I dive into all the details I want to give [...]
We are one week away from the final reveal and the week before the reveal is always so nerve-wracking. There always seem to be a million small things that need to be completed and they all matter because all the details make the room truly unique and complete. Featured designers will be revealing their room [...]
I can't believe it's week 6 of the One Room Challenge. I'm writing this post the last day it's due because majority of our work worth writing about happens on the weekend. So what have we completed this weekend? Big things my friends. We spray painted the built-ins with the final coat of paint and [...]
The first half of this week was spent waiting on items to come in. We wanted to start spray painting the built-ins we created but the paint spray that Graco graciously gifted us was delayed. So I shifted my focus to the fifth wall, the ceiling. In the previous week, I mentioned I was trying [...]
