Spring 22 ORC Week Eight: Final Reveal
Spring 22 ORC Week Eight: Final Reveal

It’s REVEAL DAY! We’re so excited to finally share my new home office with you guys! The last eight weeks of this One Room Challenge have been a wild ride. From finding a second layer of wallpaper hiding under the first, to discovering a hole in the floor that once homed bees, the surprises seemed to be endless. There’s still some work to be done — we’ll be refinishing the hardwood floors over the next few weeks and sharing the process here, but we’re SO proud of everything we accomplished over the course of this challenge!

Spring 22 ORC Week Seven: Building the Window Seat
Spring 22 ORC Week Seven: Building the Window Seat

It’s week seven of the One Room Challenge, meaning we’re just ONE WEEK away from the reveal! We’ve been working nonstop to finish everything in time and we’re so happy with how it’s all looking! We had a pretty massive delay when we found that hole in the floor a few weeks ago, and we realized we needed a new game plan to complete our room in time.

Spring 22 ORC Week Five: Fixing the Floor
Spring 22 ORC Week Five: Fixing the Floor

Week five of the One Room Challenge is here and we’re so excited to share the progress we’ve made! Neither of us could have guessed we’d still be working on the floor by the fifth week, but we knew going into this challenge any number of things could have been wrong with it. We had to have some flexibility with our timeline and shift the rest of our projects back, but we knew it would be worth it to be able to fix the floor the right way.

Spring 22 ORC Week Four: Hardwood Floor Progress
Spring 22 ORC Week Four: Hardwood Floor Progress

It’s week four of the One Room Challenge, the official half way point! I can’t believe how quickly it’s flying by. Last week we rolled up the old carpet and finally got to see what was going on with the hardwood floor underneath. Overall it’s in amazing condition and we’re so happy to have unstained, unsealed hardwood to bring out the beauty of! One area I didn’t share last week did have some previous damage, though.

Spring 22 ORC Week Three: Wallpaper & Carpet Removal
Spring 22 ORC Week Three: Wallpaper & Carpet Removal

It’s week three of the One Room Challenge and this was a BIG one for us! This was the last room in our house with wallpaper, and over the past two years we’ve been working on removing it little by little when we’ve had time from our other house projects. It was a lot more involved than we were expecting with a surprise second layer of wallpaper hiding behind the first, but with a lot of determination, steaming & scraping, we finally got every last bit off the wall.

Happy week two of the One Room Challenge! If you’ve been following my stories on Instagram, you might have seen our recent double wallpaper discovery. This isn’t the first time we’ve found a second layer of wallpaper hiding underneath the one we just removed (we had the same situation in our breakfast nook). Even though it makes the removal process longer, we’re getting through it and still can’t wait to see how it looks when it’s all down.

Spring 22 ORC Week One: Before Photos & Digital Renderings

It’s that time of year again! The Spring 2022 One Room Challenge starts today and we couldn’t be more excited to be participating in this very special Tenth Anniversary edition of the ORC! Last fall we transformed our family room from a dark, unused basement space to a bright & welcoming room we now love spending time in. We can’t wait to do the same with our upstairs middle bedroom which will become my new home office.
