We are already into week 2 of the One Room Challenge, and I am so excited with how much we’ve completed! (If you missed my post last week about our plans for the space, you can see them here!) After moving into our home, I knew pretty quickly how I wanted the space to work and what layout would work best. However, I kept changing my mind on what direction to take for the design. I love so many different styles and was struggling to choose just one. After many hours of searching and pinning, I was able to settle on a sort of California Casual look. I wanted the room to feel ‘formal’ but not fussy, and since we have… Read more »

One Room Challenge – Room Reveal!
We’ve finally made it to the One Room Challenge reveal day, and I cannot believe it all came together! We had a couple late nights, and a lot of help from our family, but I am so excited to have this room done!!…well, minus the gold bees on the ceiling, which have not arrived. They were the first piece I ordered for the room, and I still have not received them. The good news is, Coco really couldn’t of cared less. She absolutely loves it, and I am so excited to see her and Flora grow up in the space! I wasn’t able to find a cabinet that would fit under the window and between the beds, so we ended up making this one… Read more »
One Room Challenge – Week 5
This past week, so many exciting items have arrived at our front door!! We are still waiting for quite a few more things to come in, and my fingers are crossed that they will come in time. It is the final update of the One Room Challenge before next weeks full reveal, and I’m getting a little nervous about the long list of things we still need to check off! Steve was able to build the night side table, and I am so excited with how it is coming together! I fell in love with this one from RH Teen, but the dimensions wouldn’t work in the space, so we decided to DIY one. We still need to paint it and add the nailheads! Here… Read more »
One Room Challenge – Week 4
It’s been an exciting week for our One Room Challenge Room! The new light was installed (I think I am going to switch out the tassel for the all white one), the closet is in, the roman shades are up, and I picked out the cutest bunny table lamp! We also finalized a bunch of items this week, and I am so excited for them to arrive any day now! Since the room had no closet, and a lot of angled walls, I knew we needed a creative solution for storage. I love hanging kids clothes, and was looking for a nice armoire. However, I couldn’t find one that I loved the look of, and that had enough storage. We ended up… Read more »
