Fall 21 ORC Week One: Before Photos & Design Plan
I’m so excited to be participating in my first ever One Room Challenge! I’ve wanted to join in on this event for a while and can’t wait to spend the next eight weeks transforming my basement family room. This is a room I haven’t shared much of before, mostly because…well, it’s pretty hideous. It has a great layout, though, and I know with some work it’ll become a space I love spending time in!
Here are some before photos:
The blue painters tape on the wall represents the two tv sizes I’m debating.
The fireplace has this cute arched shelf I can’t wait to do something fun with!
